Here my votes!

725 - Although it features less snow, i love the contrast between tarmac and snowy background

Brock5000 - It has so much action and colour, The blur is extremely realistic on this one its super!

Franz - So clean and well blurred, its untrue! I also love the Aussie Reg plate, it and the lights, finish off this masterpiece!

Beerz - This was extremely close, i really loved the blur and blue-ness on tw's peice, but i also love the lights and almost demonic look of beerzs, and that wins out!

Painful votting again . Why do you guys are so good?

[ES]'s GT-Four. I love the angle you used because the viewer can feel like it were seeing it in real proportions. Yeah, it's not too far or too close, and the snow, speed effect and dramatic positions of the car got my vote.

Garnett's battle. I just preffered your entry rather the colorful Brock's one.

Franz's Holden. The 2.0 rules always are difficult matches because all of them usually are superb technically and artistically. Now I found some problems in the Sejtur's photo, because he forgot to delete some blurred trees layer arround the temple roof. Even the saturation of the cars seems to be a bit too much for me.

So, Franz's entry is... perfect? or almost perfect! I may be disapointed to do not vote a flawless entry now. I was thinking in the lampposts... if point lights were blurred to create a powerful light line. It could be spectacular rather the diffuse glow they has . Just a little personal paranoia hehe.

Beerz's Prelude. WOW man, you was making a rocket huh?! That's very well balanced. I was amazed indeed, I bet many of those subtle spotlights and details was enhanced by you. I think you showed a great example of selfcontrol, with a veeeery smoth contrast in the overal photo generating a very interesting ambient. The colors are nicely integrated all together as well, featuring the perfect car color to fit the scene.

Edit. Yeah Beerz, you got my special brutal adjective now. 👍

The 90's garage one was a dificult disicsion, look at the lighting and reflections on Beerz's, but the blur and lights and contrast on Tangled Web's Who should I vote for... Brilliant shots everyone else, I must say.

 

[Beerz]

Thanks a lot for the comments, guys!

But I have to thank franz and alex, their advices lately have helped me learn a lot of new stuff, otherwise I could never pull off a good phototravel shot.

And alex, thanks a lot for that major praise, that's BIG!
And yeah, I zoomed in on the ground stones, and dodged each one individually with a small soft brush, where I wanted the light reflected.

Great entries, everyone!
TW, awesome car choice. I didn't even remember I had 2 of those in my garage, I love their details.
Great color scheme, and the rims looks absolutely gorgeous. 👍

Sorry I can't comment on everyone's shots, I'm already late for my 3h drive, and gotta fuel up first.
If I return before the poll ends, I'll be sure to comment on every shot.

Crap, I'll be miserable not knowing how the poll's going...

voted brock, franz, beerz. i dont get the blur in sejturs shot tbh. with the shrine not motion blurred, the everything else just looks like a random blur just to blur imo.


[edit - i guess 100k didnt like either of the first match shots ]

 

[Funkshen]

Well done lads, My votes are in!
Nice to see an Aussie theme up there!!

 

[725]

Looks like I'm out of this one, well done empty space great shot 👍

 

[[empty space]]

thank you

 

[D-Mind]

I voted for:

Empty Space - Really good shot lighting etc is above your usual standards so i was quite surpised, pleasantly.
Garnett - Perfect atmosphere for the shot, lighting is perfect and blur is so too.
Franz - I didnt see the car moving whilst the surroundings were on sejtur's shot. Franz just made a stunning perfectly cleaned and blurred shot.
Beerzgood - best shot in the poll. stunning man. Tangled web, yours was good but not good enough to beat the best.

 

[sejtur]

Congratz Franz. My shot is just too bad. I just couldn't get any really good shots for this theme. I thought I may had a chance at the start but shortly after I thought the opposite. Your shot is almost perfect, the only thing is that the street-lights had to move too. Good luck in the next round.

My compliment to Beerzy, his shot has one of the best reflections I ever seen. The atmosphere is fitting to the car. Great job.

I also like GR's shot. Looks very real with a contrast like his.

 

[franz]

Thanks for the votes guys
I think Sejtur's entry looks very beautiful and very tricky to finish the blur. The reason for people not voting it may be not "powerful enough" to meet the theme, which I already learned when I was against Moglet (Red = Anger). However I am surprised Sejtur doesn't get more votes than I expected.

For my entry, I actually dodge the lightpoles before the blur job. Maybe the tree part wasn't blurred at high speed, so it doesn't appear to move I guess I should dodge it after the blur job and make it looks like a comet

I still can't believe I can make it to final after facing 3 top people in this tournament. Last round with Beerzy will be fun. His amazing Prelude makes me drool everytime I open this poll 👍

 

[alexwrc]

Last round with Beerzy will be fun

I'd have loved to be Beerz now...

[Beerz]

Thanks for all those very positive comments, guys. And votes, of course! 👍

Alex, as I don't think I'll beat franz... step right up!

My votes went to:

[ES] - 725's shot is more appealing and has a beautiful composition and tones, but since the theme was 'Snow rally', ES's shot fits much better, even though I'm not a big fan of that particular type of composition.

GR21 - Hard choice, but in the end I think it was the car choice (very that-could-be-my-car style) that made me decide. Both awesome PMC shots, excellent control of shutter speed and focal point.

franz - Mainly because (like someone already wrote) I didn't quite get sej's shot. it IS original in some things he did, but I'm not feeling the type of blur used, specially with a high-angle shot near the stairs. Technically, it's good as always.
franz's shot is almost flawless, nice touch with the street lights thing. Cleanup's great, specially the car's part that's on the left, better lighted.
Only thing is (and I don't have that car, so don't know if that's GT4-made), is the wing. It looks, mainly on the left side, paper-thin. Maybe some soft dodging in strategic places could make it have more volume... I don't know. It's a minor detail, anyway.

TW - It is a great shot, seems a standard blurred shot at first glance, but it's none of that. Awesome work all around, and it did deserve more votes.
Honestly, when I 1st checked the poll and saw his shot, I immediately thought it would be very difficult to me to pass this round. Should've been a tighter match, really.

Next round's coming soon!

 

[franz]

Oh true I totally ignored the wing part, thanks for the advice!!
Good luck to the final 👍

 

[Tangled Web]

Whoa, I got wasted.

Thanks for your comment Beerzy, I was hoping I would get more votes too and we would have a more interesting match, oh well. You entered a beautiful shot, which deserved all the votes it got.
I really should not of left the editing of my shot to the last minute, I am sure it could of been better. I will try and not do that next time.
Anyway, good luck in the final. Going to be tough going up against franz, but I am sure you will do well. 👍

 

[jgda9rs]

that prelude shot is damn awesome!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[JacoJa]

Ahh, crap... missed the poll by a day. Lucky my votes wouldn't have changed any outcomes.
Anyway, great work chaps!
