PHOTO OF THE MONTH APRIL SUBMISSIONS

[TT]

Before showing the pics, I'd like to remember you we changed the way to decide the winner since some months (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 :)

5 pt - komotar. this is really TOP stuff, magazine stuff, perfection...
3 pt - sameerrao. I adore this desert road in town with four random cars lineup up :)
2 pt - dingo. Brillant setting, I love when the field is deep behind the car and obviously out of focus
1 pt - dani_d_mas. really nice action shot. I always like your rally pics and the cars squatting and launching itself out of the corner is really nice

It was very hard once again to just pick 4 pics!

2 pt - TT, Lotus Exige S - don't like the lifted engine cover, but the pic is great as usual :wink:
1 pt - komotar, Volvo S80 - doesn't matter what car is in front of the camera, this picture is just stunning :D

Sorry TT for that mess, didn't know there isn't edit button here :oops: :lol:

3. Stoopie, Subaru Impreza WRX
4. MidEngine4Life, Scion tC

[komotar]

ok here goes

5 pts: dani_d_mas - It's a great moment caught in time. The exhaust, the camera flash, the people, the tilted camera, the colours, the drama, the car accelerating wiledley out of the curve, it's still going slightley sideways, the composition is great, the car is sharp, the light is good, the wheels are spining whish means you used the right time. I like this pic very much, pro material and it makes me want to shoot a rally, which I have never done before ...

3 pts: dingo - I love the reflections on the car, they make the pic for what it is and the little things matter, like the red flowers on the left side, they give a kindove romantic feeliong to the pic ... it's a great looking car, great surroundings, and I thin I also like the pic is the fact that I'm not used to the surrounding, and that makes it so much more attractive for me ...

2 pts: MartijnGizmo - the light, the light, the light. The car is looking into the sunset, itching to go another round, the spoiler is a great detail as are the rear lights, great pic, but I think that the other one was even better, front pic ... I would have put that one in second ...

1 pt: MidEngine4Life - hey, how often do we see a girl on a car around here, and the photo made by a member! the light is soft, the girl is very good looking, the composition is good, and I think this pic is wallpaper material ...


ok so the pics, that were right upe there imho are TT's lotus. It was a close battle, because your pic is so cool because there is a whole car in the pic, but the details are very visible. The steering wheel, the sports tires, the engine, the difuzor, the spoiler, the black rims .... it was really tough......

and then there is eurocopter's antara, a great action pic!


I also liked the MUS911 pic, but too many distracting poles in the pic ....

and sentra's turbo, a pure pic, much like stmoritzer's SLR last month ...

[komotar]

damn, forgot to write the cars besides the author's names :oops:

damn the edit button :x :oops:

[eurocopter]

It´s to hard this month :shock:

5 Points: komotar: AWSOME Picture

3 Points: c0wb0y007 : Very Nice Dynamic Pic Dude

2 Points: MartijnGizmo: The Sunset in Background is very beautyful

1 Point: MidEngine4Life : Ugly Car, but one point for the sweet girl :wink:

[TopGearNL]

Very hard to choose from all these great entries!

5pts: Komotar, I just love that pic, could have been in the S80 brochure!
3pts: Dingo, I like the fact it looks like a 996 Turbo! Well focussed and the scenery is great!
2pts: MartijnGizmo, awesome sunset! Well timed and the focus on the Exige is great!
1pt: Dani_d_mas, that picture captures a great moment! You can tell by the smoke, the car's movement and the flash!

I have to say great work to you all! :good:

[MidEngine4Life]

5pts - MartijnGizmo, Lotus Exige S
3pts - dingo, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano (Porsche)

[TT]

Dingo has a 599GTB and it looks exactly like a 997TT :mrgreen: :prr:

Sorry, my bad, I was tired as always. switched pic, hope it wasn't too late

[stmoritzer]

wait a moment ?

dingo had a 996TT in the contest, when I had a look at the thread this morning and I guess people voted for the Porsche :hmm: - IMO the title was wrong but now the picture changed... both are great picture and he'll get some points from me I guess, but still I'm confused

shouldn't we start again !?

[stmoritzer]

or why don't you put back the Porsche, I prefer that picture anyway and it would keep the votes valid :idea:

[dingo]

Yeah put back the 996TT I say, thats what people have been voting on so far.

[TT]

Done, done.. it's like this when in the office you're doing 4 things at a time and you also try to fix the contest :D

[Tool]

5pts - komotar, Volvo S80 - Awsome Pic :shock: (the winner this month i think)...
3pts - dingo, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano - Love the angle...
2pts - MartijnGizmo, Lotus Exige S - nice background, great shot...
1pt - sentra_dude, Porsche 997 Turbo - a pure pic that takes over the screen...

a big thanks to all for the great pics... :clap:

[TopGearNL]

Glad the 996 stayed, not sure the 599 would have gotten the 5pts from me :mrgreen:

[silentm]

1. sentra dude - definately the hottest ass around :drool:

2. martijngizmo - the colors and the atmosphere of that picture are just awesome :shock:

3. komotar - that picture has an excellent quality!

4. dani_d_mas - i always like you rally footage. imo you should have taken one of those panning shots at night, those were a tad better.

as usual the desicions were really tough to make. all the submitted photos are great!

[stmoritzer]

ok, my turn

5pts komotar, Volvo S80 pro-stuff, nice foreground-background photo - we'll need to give you some handicap, since you're doing it professional :mrgreen:
3pts dingo, Porschari 5996GTTb , car perfectly sharp, the rest very soft and the long straight indicates a high speed run
2pts yo_spc, Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante , quiet scenery, well placed IMO
1 pt MartijnGizmo, Lotus Exige S very good photography and flash usage :good:, but the pic isn't further up because of the car / and "watching the sunset" somehow doesn't warm my heart :wink:

followed by sameerao ( like the group picture), c0wb0y007 (nice action shot, but too much zoomed in), TT (nice color, driver door open is ok, but open engine bay not so good IMO)

again some nice photography in this contest, well done !

[c0wb0y007]

5 points for Martijngizmo - SINISTER Photo :!: You have to zin this one mate, no questions asked.

3 points - Komotar`s Volvo S80. If Evo or the top gear magazine ever needs a S80 pic then this is the one. Cristal clear

2 points - Zonda`s Murcielago. Great car on a superb location, bright picture as well. Rare colour, but suits the car very well.

1 point - Dingo`s tuned 996. If you ever think about creating a new calender this one should be in it most definitely. Looks to me that Australia rocks when it comes to landscapes.


Very nice sellection of pictures, keep up the good work guys.


Cheers

Yeah I saw that right after I put that on, but I didn't want to spoil this topic so I didn't put another post up ;) But thanks for correcting :)

[sameerrao]

1. Komotar - Volvo: Magazine quality shot. Like the perfect reflection in the still water and the mood from the gloomy warehouse
2. Martijn Gizmo - Lotus Exige: Lovely shot.
3. Dani d Mas: Perfect shot with the exhaust backfire and flash bulb popping
4. Midengine4life - Nice blonde. I know most of you gay blue oyster boys don't care. But anyway. ;) The Scion is nicely captured too.
