CLOSED POLL: The Photomode Competition 54 (W: reverand33)

[SlipZtrEm]

Further explanation of the theme, provided by unit Delta:

"Try to capture a connection between a car and some road painting. It's good if the
painting is something unique (visit The 'Ring), but it can also be anything more common,
as long as it goes well with the car of your choise (color tones, shape, styling,
manufacturer...). You can basically use any car in any track, no phototravel. "


CARS: Any
LOCATIONS: Any
PHOTOTRAVEL: No
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: See explanation

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow

Any feedback?

 

[Ferrari_458]

Yeah, I made the poll! 7th poll in the last 8 competitions now for me, including the last 5 pity I've only got a maximum of 7 votes in any PMC competition

EDIT: I don't think there was enough focus on the track markings in yours, NeilSean, although I'm not the judge so I can't really say

 

[dhartley79]

Wow I made the poll, thank you unit Delta! But I can't compete with Nato's shot!! My vote goes on his!

 

[jus1029]

Yay! I made it!

My vote goes to Nato! Great idea!

 

[gordongt]

Didnt make it.... again

 

[zambuca]

Great poll! What a great theme this turned out to be 👍

Anyone else think that Enzo has some unique color toning for a straight from GT5 image...

Same.
The GT logo is a bit too clear for me...which means...

On another note, if it was straight from GT5, i'm impressed.

Oh dear, looks like we have another one (maybe), exif info says Adobe Elements......

 

[Taiga]

Now that you mentioned it, yeah. It looks like it had a color balance adjustment on it, with mild red levels.

If that was a stock GT5 image, then props to anyone who managed to get that shot! 👍

 

[Rekve]

Woop woop, my first poll and with entries like this, that's all I can ask for. Wouldn't mind if you clicked the tiny thumbnail, though.
I considered voting for five of these but went with the old Ford GT, great use of colours.

Now that you mention it, the watermark does seem somewhat brighter. But maybe its just me.

FINAL ENTRY

NASCAR #11 FedEx - Toyota Camry - Driver: Denny Hamlin​

I assume it was just a little too plain and/or boring?

It was hard to get a good shot considering the road paint was very faded.

you should have tried to get his driver name above the window with the denny in the background. or went with the front of the car due to more detail. but good find with the denny on the track.

 

[Spiderman_Geek]

Yeah, unfortunately the name isn't on the 2011 cars. Maybe I should have went with a frontal or side shot of the 2010 car. Oh well.

How did that RUF make the poll when its over a Porche crest??

 

[LyingTruth]

I made the poll? :0

Even though I have no chance of winning, thanks to the other amazing photos, it's still great to make the poll on my first time

 

[LyingTruth]

How did that RUF make the poll when its over a Porche crest??

Because a RUF is a modified Porsche, and there's also the fact that there are no real Porsche's in the game.

 

[PredatorPie]

I wouldn't say it's a modified Porche, but a manufacturer that bases their cars on Porche bodies and chassis. Now nothing in the pic says it's a RUF. You can't see the license plate so it might as well be a Porche if we just forget the pic is from GT5.

Any feedback?

I didn't see how the blue and yellow would go with a Ferrari.

I think you could have parked the car sideways with Denny looking at the camera and maybe some filter would have made the text brighter, don't know. But good work with spotting the name. 👍

@GatorAdam, what did we talk about voting for own pics...

 

[nissanfanatic]

RUF is a stand alone manufacturer. Not that commonly known brand from Germany, but its very own name, brand, badge.

I would hardly call a RUF its own car. If you look at the basics, it's a modified Porsche.

 

[nissanfanatic]

Im done trying to make a point, here is a snippit from wikipedia.

RUF Automobile GmbH is a German automobile manufacturer. RUFs are built from unmarked Porsche bodies and chassis. When a chassis arrives, RUF builds their own independent work into the car. Because RUF installs many of their own-made parts (not to be confused with badge engineering), the company is recognized as a manufacturer by the German government. RUF is mostly known for their CTR Yellowbird, and is the biggest and most renowned company to make Porsche performance enhancements. RUF has also made a name for itself as an automobile refiner, specialist in vintage restoration and rebuilds of classic RUF and Porsche automobiles. RUF also carries out service and crash repair.

Porsche performance enhancements

 

[nissanfanatic]

The first line says very clearly, "German automobile manufacturer"
, then further down in there, "recognized as a manufacturer by German government". Stop being so dense

Who, other than Germans, cares about the German government?

25 great qualifiers in the poll and 9 of them haven't got a single vote yet.
Must be very disappointing...

 

[Guardian]

#3 is Brilliant. 👍
EDIT: Half of these entries do not contain any 'Track Art' though.
