before showing the pics, I'd like to remember you we changed the way to decide the winner since this month (http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?p=641603#641603). Just testing if it will work out, but I am sure it will, and it's a better solution, even if some of the laziest ones will stop voting because it will take some more time.

Here is what to do:

You have to select your fav FOUR pics and assign points. The point system is as follows:

fav pic: 5 pts
second pic: 3 pts
third: 2 pts
fourth: 1 pt

Please, your fav pic on top, 4th one at the bottom of the short list.

Also, if you want, please, explain your choices :)

And may the best win :)

Extremelly hard this time, especially since there are two pics of the orange Zonda F.But my vote goes to MartijnGizmo, maybe the M3 isn't such a rare car, but that panning shot is perfect, plenty of focus on the car and a blured background. I like the fact that it's dynamic. Good job *thumbs up*

EDIT:

oh yeah, new rules :D

MartijnGizmo - 5
Smylait - 3
eurocopter - 2
stmoritzer - 1

Actually you have to vote for your top 4, so much easier ;)

No.1
05-31-2006, 06:05 PM
MartijnGizmo wins it for me.

I know i must have said how much i like his picture about a million times already, but it really is fabulous.

The car is average - an M3 really isn't a rare sighting anywhere.

The green vs blue looks fantastic, and the panning is supercrisp, especially after taking into account the slow shutter speed (which i assume helps to keep the colours vivid).

Others worthy of mention.

jon_s - a nice tyre smoking shot
Maou/Symylait - both of the orange Zonda look cool
Speedracer38 - just because of the rareness of the F50 and Enzo (plus the red and yellow look great together.)
80ssportlover - nice shot including the bridge. The yellow of the pontiac looks fantastic.
eurocopter - a menacing RS4 - looks fantastic

Congrats to everybody who made it into the poll - but hats off to Martijn 8)

{EDIT} Bollocks :oops: just read the new rules.

1st - MartijnGizmo
2nd - jon_s
3rd - Speedracer38
4th - eurocopter

There we go!

Guys, guys, please, take the time to read and vote as asked :D or else it will be just a mess :D

#1 - Martin Gizmo - perfect blend of sharpness (of the car) and blur (of the wheels). Personally, I prefer moving cars to static cars - so additional brownie points for this pic. 5 POINTS

#2 - 80ssportlover - Fantastic alignment of car and bridge. Great color contrast between the car and bridge. Very well done. 3 POINTS

Now it gets tough the pick the rest

#3 - Sentra_dude - Rare sighting to see a Jet truck - the flames were perfectly captured. Great framing. Awesome. 2 POINTS

#4 - MIHALS - Beautiful Countach - framed very well; lots of room around the picture. Love the rain drops on the car. Excellent job. 1 POINT

About the rest:
In general great shots - v. tough to single out why these dont deserve to be in the Top 5.

Titan_boy - great picture, nice car.
Smylait - This would have been a certain Top 5 if it weren't for the framing - the car should have been a bit more centered. Great shot otherwise.
Salegosse -nice shot. But I am not a big fan of showroom kinda shots.
TT - perfect composition but somehow I think the exposure strikes me a little odd.

I'll stop here too many pics to comment about.

5 pt - salegosse - brillant colors. simple angle, but really nice result
3 pt - MartijnGizmo - no doubt a perfect pic that will end on the portal in a month. But when I have to choose, I turn toward static cars ;)
2 pt - eurocopter - magazine's stuff. Really nice composition
1 pt - Maou - dang, giving points to two Zonda F this week, but well, once again, simple angle, clear view, nice light thanks to shitty weather :good:

first off, this month is an excellent selection of pictures to choose from , so thank you for the awsome pics.

martijnn gizmo, E46 M3 - 5 (just an unbelievably beautiful shot of a M3 in motion, its now my new desktop)

88ssportlove, Pontiac Fiero - 3 (the background is awsome on this one with the GG Bridge)

pzgren, Porsche 996 Carrera - 2 (the sun in the picture is really nice, and mixed with the 996 it is a beautiful picture)

momodels, Ferrari F430 - 1 (the F430 is an awsome car and this one has Gumball 3000 stickers on it and Gumball rocks so its number 4 on the list)

but once again nice selection of photos to choose from

Basically you did a Schumacher (@ Monaco). FIA mandated penalty applicable is that all your photographs are automatically placed at the back of the grid (-100 POINTS). A separate thread will be open to bitch about this - did he do it purposely or not? :P

5 pts- MartijnGizmo. The shot is great, maybe not a zonda like other pics, but IMO it's the best pic this month.

3 pts- eurocopter. Really hard... one of the best shots that had a place to contrast perfectly.
2 pts- tifosi. also as eurocopter's
1 pt- jon_s. the cuda in action!! simple as that.

fav pic: 5 pts - MartijnGizmo, BMW E46 M3 - Magazine picture!!! :drool:

second pic: 3 pts - salegosse, Pagani Zonda F - that perlascent white zonda is damn sexy :love:

third: 2 pts - Smylait, Pagani Zonda F -zonda again :roll: - I love Zonda F actually :mrgreen: - this angle is SO PERFECT!!! :good:

fourth: 1 pt - eurocopter, Audi RS4 B7 - just great location for such car :D I would just play a bit with the polarizing filter and then put 2 pics to 1 to make it reflectionless :wink:

really hard decision this time, many pics are too crowded, not much space around the car, but sometimes we can't really rule the world :bah: so many of these pics have lost my attention - dani's miura, maou's Zonda, Speedracer's F cars and dodo's CGT :bah: ... just my opinion :wink: thanks to everyone who joined the competition!!!

5 pts: Speedracer38 - pretty colours.
3 pts: Eurocopter - for the atmosphere.

2) Speedracer38 - great composition
3) MartijnGizmo - looks straight out of a BMW ad
4) pzgren - a bit dark but a cool sunset


Remember my car is a Fiero "GT". There is a difference ;)

Yea I realize the styling isnt everybody's thing but I think its gorgeous and it never stops turning heads when i drive down the street. Plus its more exciting than the family cars im sure half of you drive ;) Mid Engine rocks!

There is a Ferrari rental place in SF. When I get old enough im going to rent one and take it to that same spot ;)

5 pts: momodels, Ferrari 430 (I like this one the best because from the rear, the car looks almost alien. You get a sense of the width and the aero components on the car)

3 pts: MIHALS, Lamborghini Countach (I like this one because the Countach, to me, is THE car that established what an exotic car was and how outrageous they have to be. You get a real sense of how wide and flat the car is. It has the flamboyant intakes and everything I love about the Countach)

2 pts: pzgren, Porsche 996 Carrera (excellent location and wonderful sunset)

1 pt: sentra_dude, Jet truck (just because it's crazy)

Smylait, Pagani Zonda F : 5
I don't know a lot on pictures but I love the car.

salegosse, Pagani Zonda F : 3
As always, a wonderful job from salegosse and maybe better than Smylait for technic ( :?: ) but the lights and angle are as good (for my taste ) than Smylait.

eurocopter, Audi RS4 B7 : 2
I simply love the all, the place and the way the car is integrated in this environment. It looks like a postal card.

karcs, Porsche 991 Carrera : 1
I could have put Maou with another Zonda F pic but the "simplicity" of this pic is nice, I love the car and decoration.

As usually, it was very hard to make a choice, so many good cars/ pics and I apologize for the buddies I didn't nominate because their job is certainly great but I had to make a choice finally :P

First: MartijnGizmo, BMW E46 M3 : 5 pts : That pan shot is awesome. Nice exposure, the blurred backround is awesome.

Second : pzgren, Porsche 996 Carrera 3 pts : not only do I like the car, but the sunset in the backround makes a great contrast to the car and the reflection on the body panels is really cool.

Third : 80ssportlover, Pontiac Fiero GT : 2pts : The car may not be all great, but the shot of the Bridge in the backround really makes this picture shine. Nice shot!

Fourth : nthfinity, Ferrari Testarossa : 1pt: The building makes an excelent contrast to the black car, really making it stand out. The angle of the shot helps as well. Nice job

momodels, Ferrari 430 (5pts)

I simply love this shot of the 430. If it wasn't for the surrounding people (This would be an ideal shot in an empty lot) and the plate (that color is a horrible contrast against the gray), it would be perfect.

tifosi, BMW E60 M5 (3pts)

This shot makes me think of a beast resting in its den of solitude.

80ssportlover, Pontiac Fiero (2pts)

I'm not a big fan of the Fiero, but this is still a gorgeous shot.

TT, Lamborghini Diablo SV (1pts)

It's a nice scenic shot. I would prefer it zoomed out to get a better look at the DIablo against the background, but it still works.

Did DaniD and Mihals took the picture in the same place, or it's just my eyes fooling me??

All great pics!

MartijnGizmos shot is very good IMO, the color of the car really stands out.

The background and color of PZgrens shot is very nice. I like the dark colors.

Smylaits shot is pretty good, I like the angle.

Eurocopters shot is good too, the car really stands out.

It was a very tough decision this month:

1) eurocopter, Audi RS4 B7

2) MIHALS, Lamborghini Countach

3) dani_d_mas, Lamborghini Miura

4) Smylait, Pagani Zonda F

My judging of the favorite pic is purely based on the quality, angle, and the setting of the shot. (and not the particular car in the image)


MartijnGizmo, BMW E46 M3 _____5pt

momodels, Ferrari 430 _________3pt

TT, Lamborghini Diablo SV ______2pt

carsightings, Mini Cooper S _____1pt




and I think having it done this new way has more advantages then disadvantages,

however I think we should keep it only to three or two winners!

didn't vote so far :oops:

these 5 are my favourites, #1 was clear, the runner ups were tricky to select, all 4 are very nice. At the end, salegosse didn't got a point, because the car next to the elevator looks somehow wrong placed ...

#1 MartijnGizmo
#2 pzgren
#3 Smylait
#4 Darkel
#5 Salegosse

I've to mention momodels's Ferrari 430 picture, that car alone on the street would have been awesome, the color. the angle of the car :P , the tilted wheels 8)

Nice to see ppl voting from first day to last! The topic didn't die, we got many votes and many points were distributed between the entries!

Definitely much better than the simple poll IMO! A keeper!

Last 24 hours or so to place your vote if you didn't do it yet, but the first two are pretty much set and I don't see how it could change now ;)

Hehehe, as long as we still got a great group of JW lackies to do the work ;) I think this way of scoring is great!

Can't wait to see the final results.. (cause i'm way to lazy to count ;) )
