Yes we have a massive rivalry in the race cycle, but in photography, still so. But Smallhorses has earned my vote once again, and I am looking forward to his victory.
I've had to vote for Skython's shot, purely on the realism basis. I'd had something (as I showed in the thread) similar to jus1029's shot taken myself with the RS200, but I just couldn't get the background to look quite right from that perspective and I nixed my own shot in favour of what I ultimately submitted. It's a shame because otherwise it has all the elements of a great shot, but the dead-straight and angular edges of the bluffs in the background is what turned me off my own shot, and hence my die is cast Skython's way as the car and background on the Costa d'Amalfi course look somewhat more "believable". (I know there's still straight edges for the hills & cliffs on the photo I submitted, but they're a little more muted from far away!)
I think on balance though the "action" in jus1029's shot is what'll ultimately see him clinch the victory here! 👍
A great selection of photos all round this week and a really tough one to judge, hence why we're in a tie-break I guess!
My sincere apologies, I must have missed reading American Oh well, I vote for what I like, not for the one who made the picture. so, great picture Jus1029! 👍
4 and a half hours to go. This is the closest battle I've been involved in since my first entry (week 81 or something). Good luck, Justin. Though Smallhorses isn't completely out yet. I came up out of nowhere in this poll.
