previews larger than 400x300 are 🤬 annoying. 👎

I think that if an entry preview isn't changed to 400x300 by the time the poll is up that it doesn't go.

Not that it's your fault SVX.

+ My Mercedes CLK GTR didn't seem to make the poll, even though the Poll Size is "all". Never mind.

My vote went for the Clio, with the old 'Vette a close second

 

[SVX]

Wops! sorry!

 

[SVX]

I'll get a moderator to edit you in.

It's OK, don't stress.

Most of the votes would've been distributed anyway lol

Totally of your opinion there, Swiss. 👍

I voted for the Mercedes... Rarely seen in a shot here...

 

[Jetboy.]

Wow, thanks. :humbled:

I personally thought the March was a very-well sorted picture showing presence, placement angle, correct lighting, and well-thought out vehicle choice. 👍


Cheers,
Jetboy

i voted the mustang, good choice of locale as well, not a forgotten car though, mine has racked up over 1000 miles......

I'm in total agreement as well, the full size pics take away from the readability and functionality of the polls, mainly viewing the results.

In addition, the larger pics have an unfair advantage, as the larger size offer more details than, the rest of us that followed the rules with a 400x300 or less thumbnail.

In the future might I suggest, that the non-previewed entry be either disqualified or put in the poll as text link with the users name linked to the full size.

If your choice is not considered a "Forgotten Car" by you, then vote on another shot that fits the theme. The Theme is a very important consideration when voting, if not why have themes for these competitions.




On another note, I'm amazed I didn't get a vote so far with the Drifting Model T, rarely shot here. The difficulty of the shot was high, considering I had to drive almost half the track to build up enough speed to execute a inertial drift. That said, my shot sure wasn't going to win, as there are IMO 3 or 4 better shots that fit the theme well. Also being stuck right below a huge image, could lend to my shot being overlooked, possibly.


My favorite shots in this one would be, mynameissport, Jetboy, Swiss Legend (despite being pink), and jinjinweiwei. My vote went to mynameissport as it fits the theme perfectly, as well as being a rare track seen here, it was a good looking shot with decent reflections.

Totally agree with you there

They have? I have to disagree. Since all images are going to be opened in full size prior to voting, there are no advantages. I would say there are only disadvantaged in having the full size directly in the poll, as they look awful.

Everyone has his biased opinion when voting. Some go for the theme, others for the composition, I've seen people voting for car fondness.

I think that the theme is very important indeed, but it's not the only thing to have in consideration when voting. Light, composition, the whole mood of the picture, the combination and harmony between the different elements...they are as much important.

Regardless of your shot, I would advise you to not center too much on the car, have more of the background evolved. Also, don't be afraid to change the contrast or gamma levels.

The answer is not if you specifically followed the theme or not, is how you interpreted it and how you managed to pull it off - of course, within the limitations and rules given, but that is obvious.

I have to agree with you, GrumpEone. I voted for the Mercedes because it's the only car I couldn't name, thus being a true forgotten car for me, along with the fact I have never seen it here before. I vote solely based on the theme. If a car doesn't fit it, then it's out. If no car fits it, then I vote based on whether I like the shot or not (not in pretty words like Nicknamealguem said, though).

This kind of themes aren't exactly what I like, since they are very, very subjective to the person that enters the competition. For example, I could have entered an Aston Martin (a car not forgetted at all, considering the last drift competitions was about Aston Martin's) and still be able to participate in the poll.

Anyways, as Nicknamealguem said, it's up to people's opinions.

Giving a bump, looks as though we have a tie!
