PHOTO OF THE MONTH FEBRUARY SUBMISSIONS

[TT]

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 :)

ok, not so many entrants, but here are my points:

5pts: Wutputt - The Fiat Grande Punto isn't that special (although for a fiat it looks very good!), but the pic's very very well done :)
3pts: komotar - The Focus ST isn't 100% sharp in the picture, but the overall effect looks pretty great :D
2pts: TT - Nice, clean, simple, "calm" pic of a beautiful car 8)
1pt: dingo - I'm not a fan of the gallardo spyder, but this is simply a very good pic, nice angle that shows off both the car and the interior :)

[numerouno]

1. TT, Lamborghini Murcielago (5 points): Fantastic as always!
2. ZondaC12, Ferrari 430 (3 points): Great color!
3. dingo, Lamborghini Gallardo Spider (2 points): For me, only the reflections on the rear fender took away the first place from this otherwise excellent pic.
4. dani_d_mas, Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM (1point): Awesome motion pic!

[komotar]

5pts.: dingo, lamborghini gallardo spider - no contest for me here, the lambo makes an impression in a second. Great angle, great pic, no disturbing factors to keep the eyes away from the car, wxcept for the line underneath the car, but that's really not important.

3pts.: ZondaC12, Ferrari 430 - great colour, good light, a shame a bit that the background had to be cut so violently (the casino) but what can you do, you can only get in so much with on lense, plus the colours are so vivid, and the green/red is a great contrast in this case...

2pts.: eurocopter, BMW E63 M6 and Porsche Cayman - good work, I'd just move the cars so much that the noses wouldn go over eachother, but in a second thought, I'm not sure it even bothers me, maybe I'd try to make a bit brighter pic, don't now exactly, but all in all, I think it's a great pic

1pt.: TT's lambo, I'd put this pic in second place if the bottom of the pic would be cut, I mean, if the car would be closer to the bottom it would be just perfect....ahh, the car looks just so mean



close but no cigar:

dani_d_mas, Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM - two reasons, I love the car, and the flames can't go unnoticed 8)

Wutputt, Fiat Grande Punto - ove the car, and a great pic, too bad for the pour lighting of the car, but otherwise, a really cool pic....saved 8)

how come no more people in the contest?? slow month TT?

2 pts: komotar, Ford Focus ST
1 pts: dani_d_mas, Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM

[Wutputt]

5 pts - Dingo - G-Spyder: Great angle, great quality, and a nice constrast between the black Lambo and light concrete
3 pts - komotar - Focus ST: Superb setting, and I love the fact the flashy orange ST stands out from the rusty old building
2 pts - eurocopter - M6 & Cayman: nice angle, and I love the colour scheme of red, black and soft background
1 pt - TT - Murcié: Simple, yet very beautiful, it's like everything is coming nicely together

I wanted to add Dani's panning shot as well: sharp and flames, but in the end I didn't. You probably have tried 100 times to have the flames in the pic (I know I would have done this). And in the end you did, but in my opinion the shutter speed had to be slower to have a perfect pic.
