Further explanation of the theme, provided by leeislee:

"You've been offered a top job at two of the worlds finest car companies. They have both offered you the job of head photographer.

You are expected to take amazing photographs for use in their advertising. You have the two offers in front of you and both companies have asked you to submit a single shot for them to use in their latest advertising campaign.

It has to be a shot that sells the brand and sells the car but you can only accept one job offer. The two companies after your talents are...Ferrari & Aston Martin.

They've also asked you to try to avoid any track clutter including, Kerbs, Grandstands, Start grids, Barriers etc etc, clean shots only."



CARS: Any road-going Aston(s) OR Ferrari(s)
LOCATIONS: Anywhere, Day or Night. But, Aston are focusing on country, Mountainous, Leafy, natural shots and Ferrari want a Modern, Architectural, Urban approach.
PHOTOTRAVEL: Yes
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: No race cars

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.
This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
  • Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image? Read this sticky!
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it;
    it makes poll creation much easier!

  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
  • Do not ask other users to choose your entry.
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text. On H2H weeks, which side, as well.
  • You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
    either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
  • When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
  • Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
  • Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 15. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 8-picture,
    4-day polls. The winners from each faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
  • Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
  • The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
    It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

^And that's it, folks! We have a winner! :drool:👍
 
I should remind people this is a photography competition, not an ad layout one. A simple signature is the only sort of addition we should be seeing, folks :)
