All y'all vote on this pics every month? :shock:

I guess I never come over this side of the room to see what goes on in here.

My very first POTM Vote cast - for irrational_i, Ferrari 365 P2, Porsche 917K, Lola T70, Alfa T33

gucom 03-01-2006 02:51 PM

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)

04RCSTI 03-01-2006 03:20 PM

ahh, boo I didnt make the list. F430 gets my vote. Its one of my favorite cars ever...

ZfrkS62 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

TT 03-01-2006 03:47 PM

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:

r2r 03-01-2006 06:32 PM

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. :(

TNT 03-01-2006 08:42 PM

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.

TT 03-01-2006 08:53 PM

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

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:

oh, now I understand :hmm: the previous post wasn't exactly eplaining it enough

:lol:

RC45 03-01-2006 11:08 PM

;)

antonioledesma 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

RAMMIUS 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

wasn't possible unfortunately, other cars parked and a small garden in the way. :(

Not sure how you mean that, the water looks flat to me - it runs straight across the frame. :?

Fleischmann 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

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

dan00k 03-08-2006 08:07 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.

blinkmeat 03-10-2006 09:12 PM

Nice selection here guys - my vote went for Hamlet
