I'd definetly have to go with TT's pic here, the 360 Modena surrounded by snow looks very un-natural and natural look for the Ferrari to be in. It was a close decision between SpeedRacer38's Pic and TT's pic. But the reason why i didn't choose SpeedRacer38's is because, although i did like the automn surrounding, i didn't feel as though the car had much life. It was like you found the car parked there. Whereas, TT's pic shows a Ferrari, in what looks to be a parking lot that has just been thrashed around in.

Really cool pic.

P.S. leaving why you chose the pic you did is a really cool option!!!

1) dingo- maybe it's just the car or the color, but the picture makes me feel like I'm there.

2) dani- same reason as above, but to a lesser degree. I also picked these two because I love action shots more than pictures of stationary cars.

3) TT- I like contrasting color of the car and the scenery as well the contrasting imagery of a powerful sports car in the snow.

4) speedracer- great picture, but like I said, I like natural action photos more than staged photoshoots.

They're all great pictures though!

Great idea, but I always find it really hard to pick a winner, they are just al great

First I though I would pick stmoritzer's pic as my favourite, just because of the amazing background and a stunning DB6 in the foreground. And then I scrolled down to Dingo's pic, what a great panning shot of such an amazing car. But I knew TT had taken pics of a black 360 in the snow, and I really dig exotics in the snow, certainly in this case with the big contrast between the black car and the white snow. And also Speedracer's Viper shot is so nice, with a great background setting.

But in the end, I went for the underdog, Mihals's pic. It may not have an exotic in it, but imo it's a great pic. There's something about the colour scheme, which really attracts me to this picture, it's hard to explain why. Maybe it has something to do with the polarizing effect on the car, or the black and bronze looking rims in combination with the background of dark weather. Above this all the picture quality is great. I really like this pic.

I had to vote for stmoritzer's DB6 shot as I think it's the most beautiful car in the lineup this month, and it's in the most picture-perfect setting as well. Beautiful combination.

Very hard to make a choice. I loved stmoritzer's, ae86_16v's, TT's, but I voted for Maou's picture. It has great colours and a nice atmosphere!
