Beautiful entries everyone!!!

(I'm gonna get hammered!)

 

[gtuned]

Taiga vs. DarkR.
Match of the century.

(I'm gonna get hammered!)

Me too. Congrats Gtuned, awesome entry.

Also, I'm a little bit disappointed at some of the matches I though it would be "match of titans". But great entries, nevertheless. 👍

Well...I know that I'm a little disappointed with my own entry now I see it in this poll

 

[honkydonky]

Great job everyone 👍

Gtuned shot of the round imo

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Taiga vs. DarkR.
Match of the century.

I agree, this matchup needs to happen more often.

 

[zzz_pt]

Nice shots everyone. I'll lose this round...to a shot a bit unoriginal (very similar to gtuned round 1 shot) but it's a great shot..

Good luck to round 3 Kaede.

ps: Thanks for your vote zambuca! You understood it

 

[Fat Buff Guy]

Man, the edited ones are just awesome. They are all awesome. I love the detail on the bottom green lambo shot of the tires. I don't know what it is but when I can see detail in the tires it makes me happy. lol.

And probably the best any Fiat has ever stood against a Pagani, in history. lol.

 

[cphbullet]

@garrett what paint chip is that on your aventador?

I thought it was quite funny the the last three 2.0 entries had similarities, both daily drivers were japanese cars, then two aventadors and two ferraris.

A lot of shots seem to be inspired by others to

 

[Nato_777]

Nice shots everyone. I'll lose this round...to a shot a bit unoriginal (very similar to gtuned round 1 shot) but it's a great shot..

Good luck to round 3 Kaede.

ps: Thanks for your vote zambuca! You understood it

I get why you used the C7 - fits "the days to come" theme perfectly and the scenery ahead is good too. It's just a shame that C7 is so ugly with those covers on. It was a risky car choice, but bravo to you for going with it. 👍

 

[Fyshokid]

Beautiful entries everyone!!!

(I'm gonna get hammered!)

I felt the exact same way when I saw your entry. I don't feel mine is anywhere near the same level as the other pics in this poll Also, as of writing this, you're ahead by one vote

But yeah, awesome poll!

 

[GPR]

Awesome work guys. There's some real stunners in there. Some choices were mighty difficult. 👍

Special praises go to:

Gtuned (Super clean shot, love the compositon and colours.)
Taiga (Really nice toning work and great shot overall.)
Nato (super shot mate, almost 2.0 grade even though it's not.) 👍

Some big match ups there, and more to come.

 

[Nato_777]

Nato (super shot mate, almost 2.0 grade even though it's not.) 👍

Thanks, I swear no editing - just loads of shots the same but each one slightly different (angle, EV, F number etc). Took me ages to finally decide on one!

 

[Watchman]

Fat Buff Guy and Fyshokid, love your entries guys! 👍 👍

 

[bmxmitch]

That's going to be a good fight CCS! 👍

Lot of great Entries, especially match03 and 04 of the 2.0 side!

 

[chrishan]

A lot of amazing shots in here, wow.
And well done, Nato. That photo is just perfect. =)

 

[CCShaft7]

That's going to be a good fight CCS! 👍

Lot of great Entries, especially match03 and 04 of the 2.0 side!

Agreed ... your girlfriend has an eye for a sweet shot mitch 👍

....and Nato .... GTuned ........ the killer shots for each side IMO 👍👍

Great pics from everyone involved, difficult choices to make

 

[GPR]

Thanks, I swear no editing - just loads of shots the same but each one slightly different (angle, EV, F number etc). Took me ages to finally decide on one!

No need to swear But I'd say that's about as good as a non edited shot can get. Your patience and eye for quality really paid off. 👍

 

[Miklad]

Great round of shots people 👍

Love em all!

MY POLLS

# 01 Kaede for me because there is more depth
# 02 The full silver R8 and slight tint is perfect 👍
# 03 hard choice for me but R34
# 04 Without hesitation the Fiat 500 makes it super aggressive


# 01 I do not like California but the photo is superb 👍 with this background - but I voted for the Mx5 its hue which is beautiful.
# 02 very very hard choice because both are beautiful, the colors of the solar nissan adds bonus to the photos, but work on the Celica is superior in my eyes
# 03 👍 without any hesitation Aventador, aliance A perfect track to the body color (what is the name of the color? Thank you)
# 04 For me, the hardest choice, both are nice> F40 are for treatment.

 

[kaede]

Nice shots everyone. I'll lose this round...to a shot a bit unoriginal (very similar to gtuned round 1 shot) but it's a great shot..

I don't know what got into me. I kept thinking I have to shoot directly behind and that is the best shot among the lot. Anyway I feel your shot would have fared better without the cold filter.

 

[zzz_pt]

I just think the warm filter is over used...to tired of seeing it And I used the cold filter to add a morning feel to the image.

I have the same shot with the warm filter.

 

[gtuned]

Thanks for the compliments guys Can't believe I'm beating one of the photomode legends, it's pretty surreal
Also, the color is York Green, which is from the Stratos I believe.

 

[Raphaele]

Absolutely brilliant competition!
I am happy to be part of it and am totally surprised having gained so many votes for my entry.
Congrats to SlipZtrem – sweet shot, well done!
Time wasn’t ripe for me yet…

I am amaze that you used a Fiat and paint it in orange. That's really interesting 👍

For the 2.0 poll, I have just voted for everyone. All entries just make me I am sure my photo editing skill is way not enough for the 2.0 competition.

 

[Taiga]

Thanks Gtuned, Beeble, GPR and all those who voted for me. I have Gtuned to thank for that shot, he was the pilot of the F40.
The poll here is one of the best looking polls of all time.

 

[Fat Buff Guy]

For the 2.0 poll, I have just voted for everyone. All entries just make me I am sure my photo editing skill is way not enough for the 2.0 competition.

yeah, I was trying to come up with something different. I had a dozen different super car shots, but I just wasn't digging them. In retrospect, I am glad I went with the Fiat but I wish I would have brought up the exposure on it, but otherwise I was pretty happy with it, thanks for the comment, and comments from everyone else 👍

 

[krysalis]

Thank you for the color gtuned, I might make a series of this green.
You do not want me I hope ^ ^

 

[bmxmitch]

Match 01 and 02 are still so close! Anyone can get to the semi-finals here!

Btw, that was my reject shot CCS! I would've picked that one, but my girlfriend always has the last word in the Tournament (she helped me to win one Tourny at least )
