It's not just about the zoom! All entries who made the poll and are zoomed have a rich level of theme-feeling. Would you not agree ?
I have explained more then once what a good drift picture is all about, now didn't I ?

Yes I agree, so in a constructive criticism form of feedback can you tell me the differences between my entry and the blue Lexus IS F in the poll please

Well to be honest, the differences are really minimal! But when I compare the two pictures directly, the Lexus has a warm lighting and a more real life feeling to it. Your Mazda fits the theme but just didn't made it. It is just a matter of personal taste.
Don't worry mate, it is a good photo after all :)
 
My wife found JediRage's shot really awesome, according to her it should be the winning entry!! I think she's right 👍

That's very kind of her. Give her my thanks.

But there are some excellent pics in here. Still five days to go before the voting ends. :nervous:
 
That mustang shot is one of the best unedited shots I've seen to come out of GT5. I'm surprised it's not running (or drifting :sly:) away with the victory.
 
Whoo! My first GT5 Poll! :D I won't win compared to the other pics in the poll, I still can't get to grips with the photomode. Some very good shots difficult to pick one to vote
 
Off course. It was indeed a nice photo, but I was struggling with the concept of drifting in a Nascar... Somehow I can't see this being done in real life or in the Japanese 'drift scene' you see?
So based on authenticity I have not let your entry passed to the poll.

But a drifting SambaBus got put through.... :lol:

I'm curious to receive feedback on mine too, I had a feeling it wouldn't make it but I really struggle to get good drift shots so any help would be appreciated!

Have you been to a VW meet? They is a crazy bunch of hippies.

No big surprise (to me) I'm not in this week's poll.

Just trying to get better, so I welcome all feedback from anyone kind enough to share it...
Picture: (Driving) Anarchy In The UK

Time to cast my vote!

Peace...

Well I can help you to make a good drift, but shooting good pictures is an art you already mastered!! So I'm not gonna explain that anymore :dunce:
Your entry for this week was just not Moglet enough. Don't get me wrong, as soon as you enter a competition the bar gets raised, expectation where high, but somehow I was a bit disappointed when I saw your entry.

Well, to start making good drifts you will need a few ingredients:
- RWD car (Japanese cars preferably) with ~200 to 250 Bhp (to get started)
- Comfort Hard tyres
- A track with quick and small curves, Tsukuba, Autumn Ring Mini (reverse is better/easier) or Suzuka West (the little one).
- Practice, practice, practice & a little more practice...

That's how I did it, give it a try and don't hesitate to take a step back with your camera. Now go beserk !!

I meant drift photos, I'm fine with the setup side of things! The car I took a photo of can drift for miles 👍 I think I just need to step back a bit, Ikeep going too close to the cars which isn't good for drift shots.
 
Wow, first time at polls.. Caught me completely off guard, my shot got no mentions upon posting lol good luck all!
 
I got two votes this week. Thanks people. :)

If this continues, earning one more vote per week, I could win. But that won't happen.
Congrats to JediRage who probably will win this weeks poll.

Amazing shots everyone. 👍
 
Doesnt every entry make it to the poll? My pic was CLEARLY in the guidelines...unlike most people, oh well.

That was a cool pic Welsh...I guess it didn't show much of the drift, that's probably why it didn't go to the poll...I guess the people putting the poll up want the cars they want. That's what I think anyways

So pretty much, is this how it works? The judge ONLY pics the cars he likes and WE vote poll for the best?

In the future, StingrayX, if you have a few things to say within a few minutes of each other, just edit the first post 👍

The judge of last week pics his 30 favourite pics, yes. It may or may not be decided on the cars present in the image (it could be part of the selection process, but hopefully not the only criteria), but basically, it's the judge's personal preferences. From there, yes, it's a public vote. Picking the poll (and the theme accompanying it) is the "prize" for each week, so to speak... and, a bonus car too, once PSN's back up and running.

No, no, no, no. I'm disagreeing with your post.

As SlipZtrEm said, the judge picks the shots after how he likes them. I even asked dennis what he was looking for, and he very kindly gave me a lot of answers. Hope you understood from SlipZ's post how the rules are, but I on my hand fully respect his choice.

And Welsh, that was a good shot. It can't be easy to choose all the entries in the poll, too bad you didn't make it. But there's always next week.

Please excuse me if I look like a crazy person that complains about everything. :boggled:

I was going for a massive comment because I too disagree with the comments, but then I read your quote and it is exactly what I was going to say. Tnx Fishy Juice !!

You're welcome. :)
 
Well now guys...no need to "bash" I was just wondering about the rules...Yep Slip I know. I just thought it was a simple process of the judge picking his favorite from the list of entries and that's it. I guess not.

Sorry for coming off so very harsh, it's good you know now.
And again excuse me, I want to wish you good luck next week. :)
 
No problem man...I was a little harsh as well...I like Photomode...and all the little details of it...my main thing I like are the drivers, I pay attention to the way the drivers move their heads/shift etc. I have a lot of nice shots of those. Woo!
 
Must admit, I just checked back here expecting massive hate, I didn't get any, cheers guys. :)
 
Yay, no votes!

Hey, I know how that feels - possibly worse than not making the poll in the first place. :( My tally of 0 votes in polls stands at 5 so far.
Sorry, that probably didn't help. :guilty:

At least you got one this week. :)

I don't know, but there's something about your shot that makes me love it. 👍
 
Well I tip my hat to you Jedi, you appear to have this one wrapped up..... as good as all the shots are on this poll in the end most are quite generic 'drift' shots ( mine included :guilty: ) and yours just has that slightly different take on a theme and for that its well deserved 👍
