love it how all matches used pretty much the same style/car/color/etc... .👍
It's damn hard to choose between those...

 

[Fido_le_muet]

Great matches. I'm a bit disappointed with the choice of car for the Convertible match but I guess not a lot of them have their top down during races...

 

[Tangled Web]

DiabolicalMask

Revolution.

Amazing entries from you all. 👍

 

[RetroJohan]

not again! will this be a close match just like MetalBeersolid vs me

 

[Jason_B]

Very beautiful shots by everyone again!

 

[Revolution.]

... snap.

I guess the 8C IS the typical Italian car for a theme like this. Good luck, Fysho!

 

[MetalBeerSolid]

I really like Diabolical Mask's entry, but I think it's a bit of a stretch to call that jag a convertible. I think GT johan's cobra fits the theme better.

On the 2.0 side, both amazing pictures of the same amazing car. Gave my vote to Revolution for the incredibly classy colour tones.

I don't see your point.

If you go with the true definition of "convertible" - i.e. retractable roof, that converts the car from closed to open-air - neither car is one.

The only difference I see is that the Jag looks less "open" because it's MR, that's all.

To choose one over the other because of that, now that's a bit of a stretch. 👍

Thing is, when I think convertible, My mind didn't jump to XJ13 race car. I immediately thought of the Ferrari California and the Shelby Cobra. I was hoping to one of those on toscana. It just didn't capture the "feeling" of a convertible to me.

Ok. To a point, I can understand what you're saying.

Anyway, it's all good. 👍


Oh, and Toscana came to mind immediately too, but didn't choose it because I thought GT_johan would think the same and decided to steer away from it.

In the end, it's funny that we both went b&w. 👍

Yeah lol, I wonder if you're as anxious as I was...

 

[Nicknamealguem]

I just noticed and since this is a multiple vote poll, in the event of a tie, making a tie brake poll would most likely end in a tie, since the same people would vote for the same images. And as there are no judges, it's impossible to make the judge vote to count by two.

 

[Jacob]

This is close, and yeah. It's a bit confusing about how to solve this.

 

[35mm]

Haha. 37 vs 37. Nice.

Oh, do you want me solve the problem and decide?


Seriously now, when does the poll close?

EDIT: Found it: Jun 04 2011 at 10:56 AM. Is this GMT?

That is your time zone. Mine says it closes on Jun 04 2011 at 7:26 PM

 

[35mm]

^ Exactly. Thanks. 👍

 

[Nicknamealguem]

I think I've found a way. In the event of a tie, I add all previous scores and the one with most overall votes (through the tournament) wins. Sounds fair?
If after that there is another tie, than GOD have mercy on us. I may be wrong, but I don't really remember there being a tie in past tournaments, outside the Qualifying round.

 

[franz]

Bronze Round > Final Round 👍

 

[ceiling_fan]

Bronze Round > Final Round 👍

I agree

Open themes are always tough for me

 

[bmxmitch]

Bronze Round < Final Round 👍

fixed!

Personally, I think the final round has a bit more quality shots. But there is not much of a difference. Just my opinion....

Congrats again to all participants!

 

[RetroJohan]

I came 4th place
