Further explanation of the theme, as described by bmxmitch:

"One of my favorite cars to shoot in GT5! Looks pretty from every angle, really, every angle!
Take it on a spin in one of the most expensive cities and feel like a millionaire for a few
minutes....or hours! :P
I'm not looking for something particular. You can either pose with it, or race it around the
track. But don't make scratches in that beauty...:sly:
CAR: McLaren MP4-12C
LOCATION: Monaco "Cote d'Azur"

I'm thinking that Dolp may have an ace up his sleeve on this one. :lol:
Nice theme.
 
I usually wanted to offer another standard car week, but its always a bit risky due the fact that not everyone owns that particular car.
And the MP4 should be in everyones garage! ;)


@nanabu: Is that even Monaco? Looks more like the tarmac of Tokyo to me:rolleyes::P

Final Entry



I've been holding on to this particular placement and angle for a while - hopefully it pays off. Great looking stuff here already, this could be an epic poll..
 
how did you get this "white glow" arround the car and right wall ??

This is remnant from another layer. That layer has a lot of manipulation of the contrast, brightness, color balance, etc.
 
got some pretty sweet shots for this already, but gonna take another bunch to see if I can come up with something really special!
 
Final Entry


Click It​

Wonder if this will make the poll
