Are we all seeing the same RUF photo here? No offence intended to Nato but the background is too in-focus and distracts from the car, the lampost stands out more than the vehicle, and the colour balance between the car and the green background looks awkward. The fence also leads my eye straight off the image and nowhere near the car in the foreground. Positioning the car exiting the frame also looks a bit odd to me, that rarely looks good unless you're focusing on the rear end of the car!

But maybe it's just me. SMFan's entry is much more up my street! Perfect lighting, location, colour balance and composition. The rule of thirds has been carefully considered, the colour of the vehicle works as it contrasts against the light background and the depth of field blurs the background just enough to make it less distracting without taking away any idea of where it was taken. It's nice to see the treeline leading my eye across the image to the vehicle too. 👍

Certainly no offense taken here Moglet. I tend to agree with you on all points and was quite surprised by the very positive reactions my entry was getting as I felt it was a little flat somehow and you've summed it up nicely.
That said, I don't think it is not all that bad either. ;)
I thank you for your candid summary of my shot, considering we are currently participating in the tournament I need to take stock of all these variables and make sure I get it right if I do get to progress to the next round. I would be up against rpanico so will definitely need to bring my A++ game. :nervous:

Schlep, please resize your photo to 500px. :)
 
9 pages.....Jezus! :scared:

I'm trying to pick my Entries right now. So far I got a Top25 and have no idea who I should cut out! REally a though choice this week.
You guys did an excellent job. And please don't be mad if you didn't make it. It's really a pain to choose a Top15.....



But, if anyone still wants to enter (Fishy? :P), better hurry. I'm pickin them right now
 
Hey, hey, hey. I haven't entered yet! :lol:

I'll try to get an entry in, but you can decide when to close it.

I narrowed it down to a Top20 now. So, I still need some time to choose.

With you and jonjwlee it's probably a Top22 right now!:scared:
Dammit, it's way harder than I thought this week.:nervous:
 
I don't want make thing too hard for you Mitch, but I mean, the deadline isn't for 1 and 1/2 hours. :lol:

EDIT:

Mitch, I'll have an entry here in 15 minutes.

Okay, not too happy with it, it's some old piece of crap from 20th December, '11. :lol:

Damnit Zerox, you're scaring me. :lol:

The last time you started drooling at a late-minute standard car entry I went ahead and won it all with that blue 280Z. :p

Thanks! :D

Shouldn't have comment. Dang! :grumpy: :lol:
This, Yui-san, and headhorse certainly blow away my entry.
Good luck. 👍

Looks like i will try more harder to up my game now since i'm out from the tournament. Again.
 
Hope my Jaguar is good enough to make it...

Oh, and ZEROX, I think your entry has a better chance of making the polls ;)
 
:scared: I think I need till tomorrow morning to send my Top15 in.
It's just too hard right now.....but, maybe my girl chooses the last places! jk:p

First, It's just nice to know that you like my pic, knowing what kind of a photographer you are. Second, thanks for the detailed explanation you gave,
it really helps to know the exact reason why a shot looks good/bad, no matter whose shot is it.
There's a problem though - I'm still nervous as I don't know if my pic made the poll.:nervous:
 
Competition closed!

Sorry to all who didn't made it. Some really....reeeaally good Entries left out. But thats kind of good too. Shows me/us how a awesome the community is! :)👍
