FINAL ENTRIES:





 
You forgot Midfield Raceway, it has a lake on the back side of the track, before the hairpin. I think Suzuka does, too, in the infield, but it isn't very visible or useful for a pic.
 
Wow geez, I just replied my theme choice. Its only 10 on Sunday, I got on last night and I hadn't recived word from you. Hope I'm not getting passed up on my theme choice. Considering thats the only thing you win, thats pretty messed up to get skimped out on.

Whats to point of having competitions if you dont even win anything? Or what you win isn't even awarded to you. 👎

I waited from Saturday night when I sent you notification until late Sunday afternoon. This competition has always started on Sunday afternoon. I don't have time to set up the competition on Monday at work during the day and it isn't fair to everyone else to make them wait until Monday night to start.

I'm on US Central time and by the time you sent your response it was after midnight here and I had already signed off. When I sent you the notice to send a theme, GTPlanet showed that you were still online. Sorry that the message didn't get to you at that time or all this could have been avoided.

What do you win? Respect and admiration from your peers.
 
OK, does this theme suck THAT bad? Only 7 entries so far. What's up with that? I know we've had some sucky themes in the past but I don't think that this one is as bad as all that. :)

The theme is IMO fine...I think that the RPC Opinion Poll Results say clearly what the problem is...so I don't understand why it's still restricted to no PS?! Or simply let the last comp winner set the rules (PS/ no PS / B+C / ...) just like he sets the theme/cars etc.

👍 👍 for jmx.

thanx sejtur...glad you agree me too!

here's one more idea (not my own originally):

RPC Final Entries should also be posted as Preview resized to 400*300 or 300*400 pix (like in Advanced Comps) regardless of what rules are used.
The same should count for the RPC polls.

The Previews would IMO give even more atractive look to the RPC comp and the lazy people (which don't click to open every single pic) could directly see what's in.

Maybe this would make some of them also to participate and/or vote.

why do people need to edit their picture to like with them? tbh, ive not liked some of the recent winners ... specially the ones that needed 5+ different forms of blurring to be eye catching.

the lanica at one of the photo travel locations is nice ... thats my call to win, either that or the mitsu road rally car with the tree growing out of it ;)
