2.0 - 11.05.11

 

[MetalBeerSolid]

Awesome entries from everyone - even Tangled Web, although he did the opposite of the theme.

 

[Jason_B]

Great entries! Ceiling Fans is great, very deep and very vibrant for a tunnel shot.

 

[ceiling_fan]

Thanks for the votes so far guys. I feel I used my Matte White paint chip wisely

I'm not sure on the ruling regarding TW's shot though. I wish we could somehow switch his entry in for one eligible for the theme, or something... I will say for his shot itself, it's great especially in full size. Will vote when I get a chance to deliberate

 

[Tangled Web]

Still can't believe I did that, I really like my shot too. Oh well, you deserve the win c_f. You followed the theme and with a great shot too. Good luck in the next round. 👍

 

[zambuca]

Oooooh man! Such entries! I gotta It will be very difficult for me to vote on this one...All the photos are winners in my book 👍

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Sure, it's early, but I can't say I'm surprised I'm already at less than half the votes of Rev; not only is it an awesomely real picture of the Macca, but it continues my bad luck of every Tournament to be knocked out the second round . I figured with the amount of positive responses from my qualifier and Round 1 entry, it was even more of a sure-thing!

I wasn't particularly happy with my shot this week; nothing came to me as strongly as the other two, I thrive on stricter themes. I almost submitted an orange F1, and now I'm kind of curious what would've happened!

All fantastic entries this round; I don't know who I'll vote for for the first two, honest! It's a shame about TW's shot, because it really is fantastic, and probably would've had my vote if it had the most bizarre of drivetrain swaps!

 

[bmxmitch]

thats unfortunate Tangled Web! Really liked your picture and nearly voted for it...
Next round you'll be back

and that blue F40!!! I think you would've get more votes if it wasn't blue slipz!
I think people just don't feel the color on that car.......well maybe
But anywho, the shot is god damn gorgeous!


But so is every shot here. Especially Fishokid's. I absoluttly love it! 👍



next round I'll enter here too....

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Hmmm, fair point, though there's a method to my madness by painting an F40 French Blue:

 

[bmxmitch]

hmmm, I'm starting to actually like it now too!

but the first thought of it was like... eww a bleu F40!?


btw, I got a red, black and yellow one. I may buy a blue one next, haha.

 

[Wallbreaker]

Three F40s? Dou you like one in every color?

 

[bmxmitch]

Three F40s? Dou you like one in every color?

I just couldnt paint the original one, so I bought a new one and painted it black.
After that, I promised some guys a brand new F40 as prize for gettin a standard whell in the PMC poll. Unfortunatly I drove both F40's a bit, so I needed a new one, ...again.

Thats how I get my 3 F40's.

So, I got
-a red stock F40. Drove it alot!!!!
-a black fully tuned F40. Crashed it a few times for the 2.0 Comp, haha
- and a yellow untouched F40

next one is maybe a blue one like Slipz has. With rims and tunes Oouh, I need to grind some money later on.....

 

[Fyshokid]

I actually really like the blue F40. Looks much better than the stock red color, in my opinion. I've never really liked the F40 in red though. It's a cool car, but I just don't think red matches it too well.

naah, its like painting a silver Mercedes red or blue. It may look good or even better, but its just wrong.
Ferraris also need to be red. Of course other colors look good on them, but red just belongs to a classic Ferrari.
At least thats my opinion. But hey, I don't want to blame anybody for painting their cars in unusual ways because I also do it.
Saw a mint green F40 yesterday. Damn that looked nice

But you're right with the stock red. It really isn't the most beautiful red in the game.

I figured with the amount of positive responses from my qualifier and Round 1 entry, it was even more of a sure-thing!

It was a great shot but for me it was two things: The angle of the shot (I love the low aggressive angle) But it chopped the roof and pillars off of the car. The other thing being the way the light highlighted around the Left front corner. Just gave the car a floating look.

And I've got nothing against painting it blue

 

[sems4arsenal]

First match up is the best In my opinion followed closely by the second one.
What is that circle glow thing in Slip's shot near the left front tire (very distracting ),I think it might be the head lights which is a shame because I really like that shot.Pity about Tangled Web's Mistake(was waitting for that match up the most ).

Pretty Fantastic Stuff all around (but that's what we expect from the best really)

Your picture is also great! Don't underestimate yourself. 👍

 

[jorgerostro]

I'd have to say NTX's photo for the "Know your roots" bracket is my favorite.. good job mate!

 

[NTX]

WOW!! Stunning entries guys!! Really tough decision voting! Quality is everywhere

Moglet, that a great photo! Two gorgeous looking cars, you picked them very well!! Good luck next round buddy and good luck to all that advance as well!! Still, everyone here is a winner, and I´m sure they will bring more quality shots next Tournament 👍

 

[725]

Seriously great work, picking which to vote isn't getting any easier!

 

[ThaSyn]

All of these entries were winners. Great work all of you

 

[35mm]

Love, love, love the blue F40. You may find it odd, but it's my favourite of this poll.

How all the colours and the lighting work together... It's brilliant.

 

[Tangled Web]

Still really annoys me that I made such a silly mistake, doesn't help when I keep looking at this poll. My shot should of been removed, that way those votes wouldn't of been wasted.

I have to agree with the opinion of Slip's blue F40, I like it. Really captured my eye, one of the reasons it got my vote. 👍

We should use it for our theme though! haha

I'm still searching for a nice blue car to use....*blue nervous face*

Using a blue F40 has crossed my mind, trust me...
But it won't happen, obviously.

Tell me about it...
But I'll leave all that for sunday night (I hope I don't have to let it slip to Monday; that would be tight).

edit: oops, misread your post. lol!

And yeah, pickin the right car and the right spot is god damn hard. Expecially with knowing to compete against you.
And it sounds like you're damn laid-back. You already have a masterplan, do you!?

 

[35mm]

And it sounds like you're damn laid-back. You already have a masterplan, do you!?

Haha.

But no, no plan at all. As I said, I'll leave the choosing of car and all the shooting for sunday night.

What I do have is lack of time. 👎

 

[Fyshokid]

Surprisingly, it seems like I'm going to win this round, which means that in the next round, I'll most probably be going up against Moglet, who used to be a pretty big inspiration for me back in the GT4 days (and still is) I severely doubt I'll proceed to the finals, though I guess I can always get lucky. Either way, next round is going to be very tense!

 

[Nicknamealguem]

Dashborad updated. Semifinal will take place once I get all 4 PMC semifinalists as well.

Just to give a little light on the subject of themes, they are already chosen for each match (independent of who gets in that match, as always) and I have to say, they are made to challenge each creativeness (risen difficulty), so that who ever gets down to Final round, really deserves it.
