dingo's pic pretty easily...not only a beautiful car, but the picture's just AMAZING... Zonda F and birdcage were high on my list too...
adamwich
03-01-2006, 03:03 PM
My vote goes to Smylait!
nthfinity
03-01-2006, 03:08 PM
i voted for dani's seat picture...
im not a big fan of the car, per say... but wow, that picutre! good work dani! for some reason; i think of the biginning to 'the hunt for red october' with john williams directing a choir to sing that first song in the movie :lol: mabey the picture instills some fear :lol:
komotar
03-01-2006, 03:19 PM
I love the zonda pic very much, but I'll go with dingo's 355 on this one
One of his best pics 8)

03-01-2006, 03:20 PM
ahh, boo I didnt make the list. F430 gets my vote. Its one of my favorite cars ever...

03-01-2006, 03:33 PM
I like Dani's Seat Ibiza for some reason. it looks like it has the little dog complex where it tries to be big and bad, but it's bark is really worse than it's bite :mrgreen:
bmagni
03-01-2006, 03:36 PM
dani you're vote is mine... nice pic
Well well, again very hard.
I don't have time to go indepth for every picture, but I'll try at least for the ones that came close to getting my vote, because I like to :D
dani's pics placed in first position in the post is like a prediction! Before scrolling down (yes, I already forgot most of the contenders since I update the list during the month), I wonder how another picture can get my vote :D
karcs picture IMO is very pure with a classic sportcar leaving on a deserted road. Life is beautifull :D
thanks to dingo we are used to Perth's skyline. It's always beautifull and the colors so bright and balanced!
stmoritzer's might have those three persons in the back, which is usually kind of a bad thing of course, but hell, it's an SLR on snow, with a menacing sky, big mountains... very lovely!
MIHALS' pic was probably shoot early morning or late evening.. usually the best moments to have stunning light and colors :D
Smylait's pic would have been perfect without ppl around, but I fear impossible in Paris :D
salegosse got a Zonda F, stunning and the picture quality is mindblowing, but the RX beside it really turn me off, especially since we saw the low res previews of his other pics which are even better ;)
so far it seems pretty obviously I am about to vote for dani's Ibiza, but here comes Cyril's 430 and man.. italian stallion, italian village with vintage barber shop.. all the windows shut closed to protect the glasses from the boomy exhaust... only detail that lamp which is also a but cut out of the frame at the top :P not enough to ruin the result though
in the end it's between an Ibiza and a 430... honestly I like them both, and a lot. I give my vote to dani to underline the fact we are voting for the picture composition/quality rather than the car ;) so this way I hope to make ppl understand they don't need to see 100 exotics a day to take part in the contest!
Well done dani, hyper close second Cyril and third place for all the others :D
MIHALS
03-01-2006, 03:56 PM
nope TT, you're wrong :prr: time the pic was taken: 14:19:38 :lol: it was cold sunny day and I used polarizer aswell, so maybe thats's why :wink:
but to the other pics... hmmm, no, not now... too many beautiful pics to decide :? our competition is getting harder and harder :D . I have to take some time - few days to decide for such beautiful pics...
yg60m
03-01-2006, 04:05 PM
WOW :shock: very hard to choose this month, usually I hesitate between 2 or 3 pics but here ... I would take almost all of them !
I will vote for TT anyway as I like the angle and purity of the pic :wink:
Pehtren
03-01-2006, 04:22 PM
Dani rocks, all the pics are just amazing, i really didnt know which to choose but i had to choose one, so danis is the pic which you notice right away...
All of you made an great effort :D
dropot2
03-01-2006, 05:04 PM
I'm sure that dani knew my vote before I post this message :D
My vote is for dani...it's an outstanding pic and I can't resist the temptation of seeing the Catalan flag in the main page :mrgreen:
This months selection not as great as previous months, but still good.
The only one that really catches my eye is the Smylait, Maserati Birdcage, so my vote goes for the Birdcage
dingo
03-01-2006, 06:58 PM
My vote goes for komotar (not just because he voted for me), but I just love that background which is so typically Italian (at least in my eyes). The car is posing correctly too with the front wheels turned. :good:
Some other very nice pics too, but a couple lost out due to what is in the background (people) - which obviously can't always be helped but does "hurt" the pic a little. :(
all great pics but dodo just made my mouth drop. that is a near perfect picture with a near perfect car in it. AWESOME SHOT!!!!!!! :good:
DeMoN
03-01-2006, 08:51 PM
that black enzo is too nice.
I'd like also to thank all the members that take the time to actually post a couple of words to explain their vote. It makes for some interesting read and will help all of us improving our pictures I hope :good:
MIHALS
03-01-2006, 09:44 PM
dani - ibiza - I can imagine this picture as a wallpaper, or a poster, but there's some better ones in this competition - sorry
karcs - gulwing - too bad the car is overexposed, deifferent angle would suite more :bah:
TT - Coxster - if I liked this car, I would put this pic straight to my desktop - car in the right, icons on the left :lol: anyway - briliant picture with no needed reflections - just stunning!!! the best qualitty pic here!!!
dingo - 355 - beautiful car (most beautiful ferrari) with stunning background. but when taking pics, the watter should ALWAYS be flat, it shouldn't be running out of picture and that ruins my point of view on this pic a lot :( - sorry
eurocopter - another Coxster - here is too much reflections, I hate car with reg. plate, so some erasing wouldn't hurt :wink: and the "swing" is too much!
raphaelws - well, dealership...
moritzer - SLR - :love: :drool: no words needed... oh actually yes. HEEEY you in the back! get off! :bah:
irrational_i - maybe rare sight, but picture didn't smash me into my eyes enough...
sentra - GT - rare to see such car on the green, but the pic was taken too close to the car :?
mihals - Stingray - no comment... I didn't expect anything this month. the car is rare as hell here, but it's still just a street sight - thanks TT for putting me in the list anyway! (makes me happy to be here :D )
smylait - birdcage - as dani said - the flash is too close to your camera, so it takes more attention, than the car... still super-rare picture - congrats!
hamlet - speedster - that weather sucks :x - such a shame...
wutt - enzos - wow, great sight, I would want to be there at the moment! but as a picture... too many ppl :bah:
dutch - supra - car is too dark, maybe a shot from the other side of the road would be better...
salegosse - Mighty Zonda F - :drool: as mantioned, that Lex next to it ruins the picture totally :( and the swing is too much aswell
sportlover - fiero - different angle would be much better... and the grey sky doesn't fit any picture :bah:
dodo - modena - such a valentine's picture :lol: beautiful, simple, stunning :)
speedracer - exige - just a road sight... could be nice picture when stationary...
komotar - f430 - I so bloody envy you!!! yes, your picture deserves to be on the frontpage :wink:
nthfinity - alfa - overexposed, step or two to the left could do te picture looking better :wink:
alright, that's just my opinion, my vote and if somebody has something against my opinion, it's his problem :prr: I'm trying to look at the pics more from the photographers side
irrational_i - maybe rare sight, but picture didn't smash me into my eyes enough...
The unstaged composition of the image is actually what made that garage shot be the only one that "smash me in the eye".. ;)
This just shows how subjective visual composition is :)
MIHALS
03-01-2006, 10:41 PM
that's your opinion RC :wink:
that's your opinion RC :wink:
Exactly - showing how subjective visual composition is :P

03-01-2006, 11:17 PM
I'm starting to hate you.... it gets harder to choose one pic :|
again I'm thinking that I'll vote until the end of the month to decide from my top 3...hmm, no, top 5..hhmm, no... top 7? :P

03-02-2006, 04:13 AM
Voted for komotar , i think it`s a very beautiful pic : the location , the angle of the shoot , not to mention the car
MidEngine4Life
03-02-2006, 05:00 AM
dodo got my vote. love the composition
Zot09
03-02-2006, 05:09 AM
Smylait gets my vote, but Wutputt was close.
dingo
03-02-2006, 06:24 AM
....Dingo's pic was also pretty nice, but you were too close to the car when you took the pic... some metres behind combined with the zoom would have won easily, at least for me :bah: ....
wasn't possible unfortunately, other cars parked and a small garden in the way. :(
dingo - 355 - beautiful car (most beautiful ferrari) with stunning background. but when taking pics, the watter should ALWAYS be flat, it shouldn't be running out of picture and that ruins my point of view on this pic a lot :( - sorry
Not sure how you mean that, the water looks flat to me - it runs straight across the frame. :?

03-02-2006, 09:41 AM
Komotar got my vote. Nothing like an agressive italian supercar set in a calm italian village. Awesome photosession.
jorge
03-02-2006, 10:10 AM
i really liked the Exige, but as Demon said, that black Enzo is too nice!! :|
salegosse
03-02-2006, 02:03 PM
Smylait for me, nice composition.
Toronto
03-02-2006, 07:30 PM
stmoritzer got my vote, komotar a very very close 2nd
HeilSvenska
03-02-2006, 10:54 PM
Man, all of these pictures are too good. I would've picked the Zonda F picture but that Lexus did really ruin it, so, TT's Cayman S gets my vote, very focused, drawing the eye to the car, nothing else, to the point, just like the Cayman, I suppose.
Man, this is a close race.
davide
03-03-2006, 06:30 AM
dod, 360 Modena got my vote, THAT'S a good pictures! Look at the tree and all...!
lovely
ARMAN
03-03-2006, 08:57 AM
This is a heartbreaking decision :( Bunch of fantastic pics, the quality of pics increasing month after month :P
Komotar got my vote, pic is absolutely AMAYSING!!!
taygunho
03-03-2006, 02:17 PM
Dingo got my vote.
dingo
03-03-2006, 08:36 PM
It is a shame that the majority of people will just vote for the car and not the photo itself, because I think its obvious that the Zonda F pic isn't the best of the lot (no offence salegosse, you take great pics but the background in this one isn't great which is not your fault) but its the most impressive car so it gets the votes. :bah:
sentra_dude
03-03-2006, 10:45 PM
Wow, what a great selection of pictures! I've been gone on vacation for a week or so, away from a computer, and I come back and see one of my pictures posted, sweet! :D A very nice thing, thanks!
Talk about a tough group of pictures...don't have time to comment on them all right now, but I'm going to have to go with the stunning Zonda F picture taken by salegosse :shock: !
SPEED_DEMON82
03-04-2006, 05:29 AM
Maaaaan All these shots are just so purrfect! It was tough choosing one. But then id vote for my fav car - Ferrari 355 by Dingo. It looks Gorgeous!
OVERLORD_CHRIS
03-04-2006, 12:20 PM
That SLR in the snow is awsome
salegosse
03-05-2006, 11:03 AM
no offence salegosse, you take great pics but the background in this one isn't great which is not your fault but its the most impressive car so it gets the votes. :bah:
I like the light and the render of the pic but i agree that the RX make it less interesting than Dani one for ex. :|
P_Zero_Rosso
03-06-2006, 04:03 PM
It was a hard decision but my vote goes to St Moritzer with his SLR on the snow pic.
A supercar in an unusual background did it for me.
Smylait
03-07-2006, 04:25 AM
Speedracer38 got my vote essentially because I love action shots and because of the great colours of this picture.
I don't go in this part of the forum very often. I have just seen that I was on the poll and that last month too. :lol:
dutchmasterflex
03-07-2006, 07:01 PM
WOW. I almost forgot that it was a new month here on Jabbas World ;) I always make sure I vote for the pic of the month...
A lot of contestants this month.. who submitted my pic?? :D thanks, If I knew it had potential I would of touched it up a bit more in photoshop :lol:
Definitely was hard to pick one from so many, but stmoritz's version of the SLR in snow takes the cake.
EDIT:
:roll: I think I just voted for myself even though I said/wanted to ote for stmoritz.[/intoxication]
I just read the through the previous pages and I think we should open up a photo-critique section in the photoraphy topic. There seems to be a lot of aspiring photographers here on JW and I know how much critiques helped me in photo class..
dan00k
03-08-2006, 08:02 PM
this is gonna be a hard pick this month for all of these excellent shots

As I said, I always try to give my opinions in here, and don't think a whole new forum or subforum is needed.. you can have a topic dedicated to this if you want to open it. Where ppl can post their pics and ask for advices.. car related or not.

Nice selection here guys - my vote went for Hamlet
PATo355
03-12-2006, 05:11 PM
no qustions in this one ... stmoritzer SLR in the snow is stunning ... not the best SLR picture of that session ... but truly amazing ...
2nd has to be the Wuttputt with those enzos :D
TransAm
03-12-2006, 07:10 PM
Dani's pic is the most pleasing to my eyes, gets my vote this month :wink:
Certainly there are some exceptionally rare cars in this month's selection, some good finds by people.
Coming in second place for me is the one Komotar took, a lovely picture.
In joint third place, nthfinity, a good shot of the Alfa, and salegosse, a great shot of the Zonda.
I'd have voted salegosse first place if only the RX300 had not been in the shot - I guess there was nothing that could be done about that though (other than break the window, let off handbrake, and push the damn waste of metal into the harbour) :lol:
My vote goes to MIHALS. I love american muscle in the UK and the setting is great for the car and the photo. Well done :P

After all these years the 360 still is a very organic shape :) .
Wutputt
03-25-2006, 12:49 PM
Due to the lack of time I have, I’ll only comment my top 5.
Dani: really nice composition of the car standing under the bridge. Great location with some fog in the background and snow on the ground. But the metal wires (or whatever it is) in the top right corner is spoiling the rest of the pic
Dingo: really nice location with the Perth skyline in the background. Also the colour of the f355 really stands out. But one minor drawback is the fact the waterline doesn’t runs 100% horizontally. At first I didn’t noticed it, but when I took a second look, this became noticeable.
Salegosse: great angle, superb quality (really nice polarizer effect). And what a great car. But the Lexus just is ruining this nice picture.
Dodo: even though a red 360 is quite boring, and there’s nothing special about the location, this pic appeals to my due to its simplicity. It would have even been better if there wasn’t a reflection of the guy in the window.
Komotar: Great angle and what a nice location: old school houses, with the aged signs, just perfect. Also the contrast of the yellow car and the old houses in the background really help to give this pic a nice feeling.
So komotar gets my vote!

wow there are too many great pctures are awsome i cant decide!
-Dani= at first i thouhgt i was gonna vote for you hands down, its such a great picture, the snow.. the fog... the bridge... and the car looks very good too!
-Dingo= one of my favorite cars! with an awsome background!... but... idont know... thers just something that woudnt put it over the top of the other ones for me... idk why... personal taste i guess... but its a great picture! good job!
-Dodo= i put this picture as my background! not so much becuase i like the car.. because most of the other cars here are "better" than the 360... but the picture is great... in the street with no one close around... with the tree infront... just all alone resting haha..
-Wutputt= awsome experience seing so many enzos at the same time! specially the black one! great experience...
-komotar= this is my second favorite picture!! its a very professional pic, with as TT said the italian style background.... and its a good angle! good job..
i could have said something about every picture because they were all great... but i just said my opinion to a few of my favorites...
and well i think my vote wastied with dani and dodo with kamotar close behind...
ill decide later for the 1st place i cant right now...
good entries this month!
Ok, we are done :!: salegosse took an easy win here! bravo :clap:
And well done stmoritzer! it was a close call but you made it to the portal ;)
