  • 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!
  • No post-GT6 editing, besides proportional resizing and rotating, is allowed.
  • 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.
  • Absolutely no hybrid, hacked cars, or cars obtained through such means.
  • 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.
  • 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!

At first when I saw it was a million dollar car that I didn't own, I thought 'meh' because I had just spent all my money on other fun things. Then I spent about half an hour grinding my Rocket on 20 Miles of Willow Springs. Easy to win, fun to race, and with my 200% going on, it takes literally 10 minutes to make about 300,000cr. That's 1.8 mil per hour, or 21.6 mil grinding a 12 hour shift on a Saturday for the really sick among us. I do think this is about as expensive a Certain Car should be unless it is a prize car. Just my 2 cents on the matter.
 
Personally I think for the sake of a couple of badges on the car the Acura and Honda are identical and as it is a fairly expensive car I would be happy to include both for use - but the final say on that is @kaede as it's his theme.
It would make it more accessible to those who already own the Honda and don't really want to have to go and buy the Acura too just to enter. ;)

Thanks @Nato_777 for the thumbs up. In that case, I'll make it both eligible. Can have any combo, so as long its the NSX Concept '13. @Ronin387 @zzz_pt
 
Only problem with that though @zzz_pt is it's pretty much impossible to tell if it's at City of Arts and Sciences or not.
The 'Certain Location' does have to be identifiable. Just sayin' ;)

Well, I remember bringing that exact question months ago in a CCCL comp and the judge (don't remember if you or someone else) saying it was not mandatory. I think I might even find it. But I'll change if that's the case. I can make the same shot but with different ground and reflections. :)

Here and Here

If you do a close inspection you will see the ground of the specific local and the reflections on the rear window (of calatrava's arches) :P

Yes, I have a good memory. :D October 2012. :eek:

:lol: Yes you do have a good memory.

And as I said back then...
The location is certainly not optional, you must be able to at least identify the location from the shot - this in no way excludes extreme closeups as long as you can still identify the location by the reflections etc...
Another words, mandatory to be able to at least identify somewhere in the image. And as always...
In the end it comes down to personal opinion as to whether a shot should include a 'broader' view of the location or not and each week the opinion that really counts is the judges. ;)

Now just to be clear I wasn't saying that I didn't believe the shot was at City of Arts and Sciences but reiterating for everyone's benefit and especially the more recent participants the need to be able to identify the locale in the entry. :)
 
Had an excellent photo shoot for this one. I'll be posting one soon but it's so hard to decide! :scared: (Are you sure we can't do more than one entry :))
Anyway, excellent theme.
