This week's theme as brought to you by mazda787:

We know that the Diablo is a fast beast of a machine, but why not see if it has a tame side? Take the Lamborghini Diablo GT '00 to Deep Forest Raceway and try to give it a calm look. As such, no in motion shots. You can use this video for inspiration:


CAR: Lamborghini Diablo GT '00
LOCATION: Deep Forest Raceway
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: Static shots only.

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, ask me via a Conversation.
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.
  • Absolutely no hybrid, hacked cars, or cars obtained through such means.
  • Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text.
  • 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!

welcome back mate! :) amazing entry!!!!! big up
Thanks Max! I hit a mental block a couple of weeks ago where I couldn't come up with anything worth sharing but I seemed to have moved past it now. I've got a few more things coming soon.

I reckon your entry looks great too. Can't wait to see what the others create.

I had a shot I was editing and going to post very similar to yours @AidenNewman888 and I would've had it entered before you but we had a power cut here and I couldn't get it finished. A bit later on as the power was still out I went online on my phone and found you'd beat me to it. I have power again now so I can finish the edit but will probably look to shoot in a different spot. ;)

I'll post this entry for now just incase I don't get the opportunity to reshoot.

FINAL ENTRY

Ok, I need to say this now... I shot all my pics the other night AND made my selection BEFORE you all stole every one of my positions, so don't anybody go thinking I took your idea when I finally get mine posted LOL :lol:

Challenging to find a tranquil place on this track... and they are ALL shown here already 💡

Edit: Nevermind. I don't think I'm gonna make it into this one... no time left for me to finish a shot anymore :(
