i was looking at some of the entries, and i realized that some of the losing pictures look better then the winning pictures when view full size,

EDIT: only a couple now that i look at them again

My votes went as follows:

Garnettrules21 - This was the hardest matchup for me to decide, because both shots are so good. I don't think the front wheel detracts from Slick's shot too much, but I think GR's would, for example, stick out more in a page of thumbnails. The colours are so vivid, there's not a whole heck of a lot of pixelization (in either shot, really), and the composition's good (again, in both). It really was a hard decision.

fd2diablo908 - Sure, GEETOWN's looks nice as a thumb, with the moody lighting, but look at it full size and you'll be attacked by pixels. Diablo's is much smoother. Yes, it's smaller, but I'd rather a medium-sized, well-looking image than a larger, pixelated one.

NTX1982 - Same comments, really. CCX' image could've benefitted from some careful manipulation to better represent those reflections. I've been seeing that car a whole heck of a lot lately from him, too, but there's nothing wrong with that .

VR6GTI72 - Marouan's is a brave angle, because those types of shots can look boring sometimes. I personally like his, but VR6's more "traditional" approach to a drift shot (the angle, really) works well with the unsusual car choice, and the colours are much better. Again, size/pixel issue.

Atlop - Well, that type of shot would kick ass in a 2.0 contest, and Atlop has shown before what an all-white-except-the-car shot can do by winning a PMC with a Skyline shot. George put up a good shot, but I'm pretty sure nothing better suits the theme than Atlop's 👍

GTChamp2003 - No trademark tint? Is this really GTC?! I love that turn, and the fact you can get good shots either zoomed in or out. I won my first PMC at that same spot in an Escort, just zoomed in a lot more. Very clean, realistic image. Sej's is a quality shot as always, but dark without being vibrant and as eye-catching as his usual shots. Though, it would look great in a set with other shots from that shoot.

Awesome first round, guys. I admire how many quality shots you can get with the more limited rules. No amount of Photoshopping can save a crap image, and this proves that some people are able to take quality shots straight from the game 👍

 

[Revolution.]

Nope, but you can place your entry in the too late bracket with 20 others...

[NTX]

[Alex.]

and i hope there is a dramatic twist

 

[Nasadus]

Congrats Sejtur. Great shot.👍

@SlipZtrEm
Thanks for the comments. I kind of tried to capture a realistic photo and using the tint on snow didn't really work out too well so i went without it.

 

[sejtur]

Thx man, it was a nice match. I also noticed, your pic looks so much better when full size. 👍

Are we still going to have a brackets? Or is it just random in the second round too? A tourney needs to have brackets IMO.

 

[Dead_Poetic]

I will do my best to do brackets...

 

[Alex.]

dont forget the losers brackets! i think in thy losers (the title means what it says) bracket we should be just re-drawn and have themed matches again-knockout style

i really wanna kick george morley's ass!

 

[sejtur]

I think it's best to not have loser brackets now, because we need two more enries with the 6 winners. When the next round is done, we have only three winners so one of those losers could fill the 4th spot in. I suggest you put all of their entries in a single-vote poll, and the winner gets in place number 4. Otherwise the losersbracket is unnecessary work IMO. Sorry CCX.

 

[Dead_Poetic]

I agree man, i will go ahead with this round, and at the end of round 2, when the bracket is necessary, i will make one...sorry ccx...
