Congrats on your win zambuca

Also, is it just me, or does ceiling_fan's shot not stick to the theme of 40's, 50's 60's and 70's only?

 

[Nato_777]

Great work everyone! 👍

 

[hgrf93]

AWESOME!

This theme had some troubles. Managed to spot jus1029 error (american or english racing a german or italian car part) but didn't noticed ceiling_fan (the 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's part that got overlooked). Should have simplified the theme from the beginning.

I'll let the entry in poll and let the votes decide either it's within theme or not, but jus1029 goes through next round, whatever the outcome. Really sorry guys.

 

[ceiling_fan]

Oh wow I'm dumb!

Even if my entry was eligible, I doubt I would have won anyway. Well done jus1029

 

[Fyshokid]

Eh, looks like I'm losing this one. I tried taking a shot that not only looked somewhat realistic (despite using standards), but also had a realistic setting with realistic angles etc. I guess this one comes down to how people interpret the theme...

EDIT: Either way, I wouldn't want to compete against Slip in the next round, so I'm not complaining

 

[fkxpro]

^ you're only down by 4 votes. Post sorta sounds a bit like lobbying though, the realism thing, then the part where you trailed off... asking people to interpret the theme better.

 

[zambuca]

Great looking poll!

(But for the first time I have to admit that the PMC poll beat the 2.0 poll!)

Congrats on your win zambuca

Well.... it looks like I'm drifting a little ahead, but you know what they say: It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings! 👍

 

[bmxmitch]

It's a pitty how ugly some shots look in the preview size.
You really have to watch all of them in full-view!!!!


And voting really wasnt that easy, except for my match and Nr.06! I just looove Rpanicos Alpine shot!

Ohh, and Nato, you got me with your RUF again.

^ you're only down by 4 votes. Post sorta sounds a bit like lobbying though, the realism thing, then the part where you trailed off... asking people to interpret the theme better.

I didn't mean for it to sound like that. I was merely explaining how I interpreted it. Hgrf's photo is an equally valid, if not better, interpretation of the theme.

 

[Nato_777]

Ha ha, thanks Mitch - I figured I could count on at least one vote with a RUF.
It's going to be a nerve racking couple of days by the looks. Shaolin's entry is a great shot! I think we both played to our strengths this round.

 

[honkydonky]

!I just looove Rpanicos Alpine shot!

Me too, stunning! 👍

 

[przemekszulim]

The last one photo is stunning- when I opened it in full size on my TV (just like any other pic) my jaw dropped to the ground You've put so much effort to clean ugly standard and you've made it look like premium. Bravo!

 

[Watchman]

The quality just went through the roof!

 

[StoneyNUFC]

Well done on the win mitch

Bit dissapointed in the quality of mine in preview and full. Really should of checked it more thoroughly,quite jagged


Great shots throughout aswell 👍

 

[jus1029]

Sorry, David.

Slight change of mood, I made it to the next round!

That's the purpose of it.

 

[rpanico14]

I just looove Rpanicos Alpine shot!

Me too, stunning! 👍

hehe thanks! the Alpine has definitely won me over too, great car!

 

[Fyshokid]

Congrats on the win, hgrf 👍

 

[hgrf93]

Congrats on the win, hgrf 👍

Thanks, it was a close match

 

[Nato_777]

Pheeew! Just made it. Thanks for the great battle ShaolinMasta - that was so close. Was tied on 31 each when I went to bed last night and I was genuinely nervous this morning when I went to take a look. Sorry to see you out - all the best for Season 05.
And congrats to all who've made it through to the next round. 👍
Now from one SM to another - good luck SMfan for Round Two (though I think I'm the one who'll be needing it).

 

[CCShaft7]

Many congrats on the win SMfan 👍👍 Your entry had a waaaaaay better interpretation of the theme than mine


........and many thanks to all the kind souls that voted for mine
