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!

Monaco is propably the hardest track to get good shots from.
Only exception is the tunnel! :sly:
 
@Diogo G.

Thanks for criticism – I do appreciate that.
But my entry is my entry. I love the world of complementary colours.
According to Nato's theme we have "The Millionaires Club".
Would a drifting GT 40 fit the theme...
 
FINAL ENTRY

I really didn't want to have to use the tunnel...
 
FINAL ENTRY


.Untamed.

Subject may change

It's in Monaco, what other city circuit wide enough in the game and rough tarmac particle like Monaco? None.
If still doubt, i'll send the whole set.

I know, I didn't want to make it too easy for you guys this week. :sly:
I find it very difficult to get a good shot there, but I've seen some really excellent shots by some of you in the past and with 2.0 edit I'm hoping for some really stunning shots. So far I haven't been disappointed - great work so far. 👍 ;)
 
Wish we had a night time option for this track! That would make for some epic shots.

What I was trying to say , the problem isn't your entry , the problem it's filled with pixels ... while normally your photos no matter the size are always clean ..

Welll .... like you said it's "The Millionaires Club" ...

Not all millionaires like to have their car stoped or cruise with it at 5 km/h :rolleyes:
