Make 'em big or make 'em pretty. Or both."

Your's was definitely one I was torn about. I loved the sheer epicness of the flames and the perspective you found of them. I loved the bokeh effect of the background and your choice of car. What took me the other direction was the reflection. It had a bit of a weird, low res look to 80% of it which was a shame because it really takes a large part of the focus of the image. Other than that, I really like the idea and drama captured. It's a good shot, I just only had 25 slots available.

Should anyone else like feedback I am happy to let you know my humble opinion.

MetalBeerSolid · Jun 13, 2011

Damn, thought I would make it for sure.

MetalBeerSolid · Jun 13, 2011

Voted for fido's entry. Great lighting and composition, plus I'm going through a I LOVE VIPERS phase again. :dopey:

bmxmitch · Jun 13, 2011

hottest poll ever!?

Good luck everyone.👍

ashes619 · Jun 13, 2011

I have a couple of votes already.

I am so happy.

Seconds · Jun 13, 2011

Stoked I made the pole! Cheers.
There are some very sexual flames there. Nice job everyone!

gtuned · Jun 13, 2011

All these 908's shouldn't of even made the poll :crazy:

I'm quite surprised there were so many 908 shots. But since one of them is leading, seems like they're going home with the crowd.

@ HagbardCeline23: Thanks for the vote.

Jason_B · Jun 13, 2011

I forget I even entered. Sweet, thanks for the couple of votes.

GOTMAXPOWER · Jun 13, 2011

Once again half of the shots in the poll are a shade of brown...

galanmg · Jun 13, 2011

I don't know why I didn't make the poll... I thought my LFA's explosion was epic...

It was rather boring and poorly framed to be quite honest.

But I still think none of the 908's should of made the poll seeing as they're diesels but still backfire... :odd:

Maybe it was.... but also there are a couple of photos that have pretty boring and small flames and they made the poll.
No problems, maybe other day

Was about to say something about how it's impossible for a diesel to backfire...

Brown is the new chrome :lol:

Schwadegan · Jun 14, 2011

Woah, I actually thought I'd make the poll for this one since I was pretty satisfied with my shot.

I guess I'll have to step up my game

👍
My vote goes to the gorgeous red S7

gtuned · Jun 14, 2011

I got Jackington's and Ceiling fan's vote.
I'm happy.

CCShaft7 · Jun 17, 2011

I feel I have to point out that with recent events I have discovered that 2 out of the 5 votes for my entry may not be legit - "martin81 & maxells22" seem familiar....ie: one and the same person, so I'm not sure if it matters because I'm not in the running to win by a long shot but it kind of taints the overall poll.
I don't think the person concerned made the poll themselves so it appears to be a bit of vote spreading going on.
Is it possible to retract these votes?

chrishan · Jun 19, 2011

Thanks for the votes I got.

Was a nice competition and theme.

Seconds · Jun 19, 2011

Thanks to all those who voted and competed in this comp. Stoked to have won! Thanks again.

dice1998 · Jun 19, 2011

congrats!

CCShaft7 · Jun 19, 2011

nice one Seconds 👍 well deserved.

tonilleshusband · Jun 19, 2011

Congrats seconds, great shot
