I'm gonna get slaughtered, alex's shot is totally awesome... and mine's not.
Wish I had my PS3 to have taken a new shot for this.

Going to bed now, will vote and comment on each shot tomorrow. 👍

 

[Swiss Legend]

wow, impressive entries all around.

Beerz, I likey! Not enough speed compared to alex though. The celica itself looks absolutely wonderful. Great cleanup...👍 The only thing that kills it for me is the background. Looks like its peeling out too. If you meant to do that or not, looks sweet.

Alex. Really great sense of speed. Now how much work did you do on the shadow of the spoiler? That looks awesome. Good job Alex!

jacoja - Stunning cleanup and detail on the Viper and its hood. That shot has a lot of depth to it.

LdS - I really like that the background is blurred giving the car even more definition. I love the composition of the shot. And I don't know if you meant to do this but the car really goes well with the crosswalk that its in. They kinda match. 👍

It was a tough choice between the "car fronts"

damn this poll is turned out to be a harsh one, either you got it or you dont is the way i see the votes go. brutal!! all the entries are nice, but you can totally see the difference
with the effort put in in all of them. like beerz vs. alex is maybe not too far apart, but beerz' could use maybe another ten to fifteen minutes more with the blur and maybe a bit more lighting. though not an easy photo to work on with the car's graphics and all that. it just looks undone if you all know what i mean. but the definition on the car is great. maybe a bit more exposure would of made it better. as for alex's shot, well.. the motion blur is good, the angle itself is well thought out. the shadow of the spoiler from the back of the car is just awesome. seems like a lot of work went into that photo. the lighting is great too. the work on the photo says it all about him. as for jacoja and Lds,
i'm sorry to say but they're like night and day. the viper looks like it came out of gt5. just very crisp and very defined. the contrast and the lighting are perfect, and same goes with the zoom blur. which is not very easy to do and get it to look right. lds' entry is a rather basic one compared to jaco's entry. maybe if he put more of a background it would of been better, still a good photo to look at though. but i would of gone with a day shot just to emphasize the front end details of the car, which is what the theme is all about anyways. all in all a very good poll indeed. high quality at its finest. i do hope this tournament continues on like it did before. great work guys!

 

[Muzaffar]

Ouch, Beerz you got owned badly.....
But yeah, all of them deserve credit to get it this far. 👍
Alex., you got to calm down on those pills and give others a chance, all your work are always a step beyond others. The composition is just insane......

 

[Turbo Diesel]

Once again, Jacoja photo is AWESOME!!!!

 

[jgda9rs]

i think beerzy just didn't have enough ample time like he said. i'm guessing that work that we see there is undone. by that i mean he didn't have a choice but to submit it like that to prevent being booted from the tournament. i'm sure it would of been a greater photo than what we see now

 

[alexwrc]

It wasn't funny the fact of time problems, I'd have loved a plenty crash of trains. I spent a bullet with this, guessing a dangerous Beerz as he always is. I can never get distracted or I'll be the owned guy .

About the other duel, it was difficult to choose again. The LDS entry is flawless, it's alll very well executed. Those black gradients are difficult to manage, and the sharpness filter works very nice. But the photo, apart of this technical stuff, hasn't a lot of "punch" to motivate votting, even being excellent.

The Jacoja's one has more of it. The clean up is superb, very difficult too due the complex shapes and lines to be rebuilt (Specially the air intakes). All of them look very natural and not chopped, so I had to pay attention to this too. The blur is not so flawless, but very spectacular as usually.

 

[JacoJa]

Thanks for the votes, and good luck to LDS in future tourneys/comps. 👍
Looks like it's me and Alexwrc for the final round... good god. That's a fantastic shot you came up with for this round... hope you don't come up with something similar next time .

I’m surprised nobody picked up on the colour variation of the Viper. It was red in the original shot (since you cannot buy a blue viper in GT4).

Edit: Omg, Nobody voted for the themes... is this a world first?

 

[jgda9rs]

what the ? i didn't actually realize that!

 

[Nicknamealguem]

Congratulations jacoja!!! What a great shot. I didn’t realize that there isn’t any blue w/with stripes viper. Wow, great work


And also, congratulations to Alex, the best shot in this round imo

NTX, Would there be any fight between me and Beerz? For the 3rd and 4th place. That would be cool.

 

[Swiss Legend]

Don't know how any of us couldv'e missed that Jaco! It flew right over my head. I guess it just looked too natural to even point it out. I also think that further solidifies your editing skills.
I would 2nd LdS vote for a fight for 3rd and 4th.

 

[NTX]

Hmm...I must talk to all participants that have been eliminated on this round to see if they wanna fight for 3rd place.

I will wait one day before I put the final round thread up. If the feedback is positive about having a 3rd place match in both divisions, I will put both 3rd place matches and Final Round at the same time.

 

[NTX]

Well...I didn´t have 100% feedback about having a 3rd place match, so things will remain this way, just the Final Round (sorry LDS).
But in the next season I will include a 3rd place match, I think its a great addiction 👍
