Results for the last week of competition
First off I'd like to congratulate everyone who has ever participated in my muscle car photo competitions. Without steady people entering each week this would have flopped. Thanks for making this a success 👍 👍 👍
With that said, I'm sure you're all eager for the results. First, though, I will explain my process of how I chose the winners this week. Instead of comparing each picture side by side like I usually do, I rated each picture 1-10. The lowest score was a 4 and the highest score for a picture was 7.5. Also I gave a rating 1-10 for each person's theme - their presentation/wording/explanation. The highest placing people typically did better on their themes. This doesn't mean they wrote out grandiose prose - I just agreed with what they wrote. Also - since the numbers were so close to each other, plenty of people tied with their overall total. So - the only fair way I could think of to seperate them was to give the higher place to whoever posted theirs first. 3, 4, and 5th tied as well as the 6 and 7th spots.
6th: speedy_samurai
7th: Brock5000
8th: treefingers
9th: somebody
10th: vr6gti72
Kavster05 earns a solid 5th spot. His theme was his best asset - in fact he got the highest score (9). The pictures were pretty good, too; I liked the last one best. Your s/n fits you well (05)
JTSnooks sneaks into fourth overall with his cool GTO shots. Simple but to the point his theme really helped him, too. I really like the calm mood presented in the first picture.
Mymkovski delivers again with third place. He would have had a shot at winning if that Camaro wasn't so warped. I really love the second picture, very nicely done. Another high scoring theme.
The runner-up for the last week is atlop. This guy always seems to do well with muscle cars. Pic #2 looks pretty realistic, and there's no better feeling than what he describes for pic #3.
Your winner for the
final run of
Kenny's Muscle Car Photo Competition is
joseph2435. The whole Steve Irwin thing was pretty funny but of course I didn't give extra points for that. I like the 4 different Vettes all in one shot, and I *really* like the second shot. Great angle on that one. The third, however was pretty boring
The competition was super tight, you've all improved a lot since the first week. Joseph won by only 1/2 a point, which shows you how close this really was. Even the lowest score wasn't that far off.
Although I never entered my own pictures into this (for obvious reasons
) I am going to include three of mine right now so that I can put them into the poll. So, without further typing:
Muscle cars are simply put.... in your face. They aren't the humble cars asking politely if they may please use the track for one quick little run. Hell, they OWN it. They are mean, dirty, and that's why we like them.
Muscle cars and their priveleged drivers have no fear. Only a special type of person can catapult a vintage big block Cobra through twisty narrow city streets. Do you have fear? Then step out of the vehicle and let the real men and women conquer the beast.
Finally, muscle cars are just plain fun to drive around. You don't need an excuse to take your favorite ride out for a spin. Nothing like RWD on the snow! Also, muscle cars have style - so they work nicely with scenery - simply a beautiful sight.
nice shots, love the color
