And remember, this week has 2.0 rules. I'm going to do it like CCCL now. The theme chooser pics either pmc, 2.0, or no rules. Good luck everyone!

 

[speedemon08]

Brilliant.... i have some Mclaren Pics from Ny with scenery focus

 

[Swiss Legend]

rules for scenery comp=cut and paste from 2.0 comp. indents and all. Suspiciously suspicious.
I like the theme!

 

[David48]

Yeah. Even the same font for the list. If I wrote a list of rules I would leave out waaaay too many things. So I just copy and paste. I just wish I spent more time on the banners.

 

[Swiss Legend]

Way to be efficient👍

 

[David48]

And also if you see any remnants from the previous week, its because I copy and paste the previous week's first post and change a few numbers and sentences.

 

[jgda9rs]

i'll just wait for the week where there will be no rules. i'm hating that word right now. i got disqualified from karting today. all because of their stupid rules. but i will be a tough critique this week just kidding.

 

[David48]

Did you try to hook up nitrous to your kart? jk

 

[jgda9rs]

LOL no.it's a long story.

seeing as photostitch kinda combines two pictures in one, will it be allowed ?

 

[David48]

Ummm. I think you can do it. I just want to know if Swiss would allow it if this was one of his 2.0 comps. Because I'm not too familiar with 2.0 rules.

 

[Nicknamealguem]

By 2.0 it is not allowed, has far has I am concerned, but I am not Swiss...

 

[Swiss Legend]

It would be allowed in an "open rules" week. But 2.0 rules don't allow. Even though it's technically not in the rules. (It is understood that only "one" picture is allowed, not two pics to make one.) But I think it should be only for open weeks. Unless of course I'm outruled by popular opinion.

Final Entry

​

New York is a difficult place to take decent scenic shots with car included...

 

[Swiss Legend]

I didn't remember that the car had to be included when I was picking the theme.

i like lds' entry. looks real, specially in black and white. i might just enter this one. just been tired from work lately.

That was a genral scenery comp rule, but if you want, it can be optional for the theme chooser.

[David48]

Any more entries?

 

[jgda9rs]

oh damn, havent even got a shot yet. can you guys wait a couple hours ? i just got home from work, and have a serious hang over.. will enter in a few.

 

[David48]

I can wait a few days. I really don't want to have to make a poll with only 4 entries.

 

[jgda9rs]

looks like i'll be making this one after all. the original for this shot wasn't the greatest, but the more i worked on it, the more the ideas started flowing. i guess we're still short of a few entries ? hope more people join.
