The final theme is always the hardest! Good luck guys! Cant wait to see them.:dopey:
 
Entry send. Good luck to all of you :)

(I'm thinking the unique restriction in the 2.0 final is supposed to "none"?)
 
Good luck to all the finalists!

Slipz Vs. Nato eh?
Make sure to include a unicorn or two in your picture as it's Slipz' weakness! :lol:
 
Aw man gutted I've missed this (guess I should have kicked around in the photo mode section more again) but good luck to the finalists!
 
Aw man, the dreaded open theme. :scared:
All the best Kyle - I'm looking forward to see what you come up with. :)
 
Same to you, Nate - Open themes are always the tricky ones, but I'm positive you'll provide something suitably awesome :cheers:

Really excited to watch all the other matches too: every one of those names are putting out some of their best work right now!
 
It's still the prettiest Viper, so really, it's a good limitation :P

I'll be attempting my shoot tonight or tomorrow night: have a few ideas, need to see how they translate. No pressure...
 
I have the day off tomorrow so hopefully will be able to shoot something decent then - I'm pretty blank on ideas though but we'll see what happens. :)
 
Pose in Photomode? But which car?!?

Anyways, I'll do my entry later today after school. And, I'll send it after my derma.
Good luck, zambuca!
 
Entry sent and good luck to all.

Hope you all will like my shot, not much time to do the shot this time.

If a Viper had a soul (and a mouth) it would likely chew you out for calling it "pretty"... :lol:

Just make sure all yous guys are saving your entries in wallpaper sizes as well. I'm sure there will be plenty of requests. :D:tup:
 
I know it's a late question because this is the only time that I was free in and take some shots, so is it the premium or standard viper which is requested in the theme ?
 
Entry sent!

Doubt mine will be any better than zambuca's. :P
 
ok thanks :)
Of to shoot....

EDIT: Entry sent, a little bit rushed but that's the time I have. Good luck honkydonky !

Managed to get one in between my sleeping and night shifts but couldnt put as much time in as in previous rounds

You produce some of my favourite pictures, so in a way if you win I will be happy too :sly:
 
Submitted my entry half an hour ago. Good luck to everyone this round :cheers:

My entry is dedicated to Mitch, btw. He'll understand soon enough.
