I'm chuffed that I made it! I don't even mind if I don't get a vote

Fantastic poll, best I've seen in a while 👍

 

[SVX]

Any feedback, bmxmitch?



Crazy (great) poll

 

[zambuca]

Haven't seen such a poll in a long time

Some very powerful pics up there. I went with the one I found most outstanding in the line-up. But seriously it was a tough choice, 'cause each pic has its own qualities.

Congrats again mitch. You got some nice presents this year

Isn't FishyJuice's picture an HDR?

 

[CCShaft7]

Very honoured to have your vote Mitch ... Feels like a 'win' in itself

Agree with everyone else that this poll is just

I was thinking that too.

 

[bmxmitch]

Guys, I`m more than happy with the outcome of this poll! Those are all HOF worthy!!!!! 👍

​

Nice mood and everything, but the sky. Those pixels just ruined your chances this week.
And the other 15 people up there.

It just couldnt keep up with all the other pics.
Brave move with the standard cars, but even Natos and Miklads awesome standards had no chance this week.
And your pic has the same problem SVX's shot has. The sky! It just doesnt look as good as I wished it to be.

Isn't FishyJuice's picture an HDR?

Hmm, I'm not sure to be honest. It may look like its one because he played with the colours quite a bit. idk
fishy will tell us at the end of the week or so.

Well worth it Mr.Shaft! 👍
And intentionally, I wanted to have such a theme. Something thats based on the link I posted last week. But it was my birthday, I wanted something special.

And this one, it really is something special! Thanks for all who participated and sorry to those who are not in the poll.
There were simply oo many awesome shots this week!

👍 Nothing to add from my side... 👍

I fully agree Mitch - well done picking such a cool poll. 👍

Ah, are you meaning how it 'whites out'? I was wondering if I made the right move having that, but if you look at it for a little while, it kinda looks like the sun.

Thanks a lot for the feedback bmxmitch.

 

[cphbullet]

Obviously it wasn't even close in terms of quality to the entries that made poll but could i get some feedback anyway?

Sorry for the wait, just got home from Denmark. And yes, it is probably HDR'd IIRC, don't even really remember myself, but I'd want to be on the safe side. Sorry for taking one of the spots in the poll, but I'll kindly ask for it to be DQ'd. (I know I made one version that looked similar with the desat + blue that was non-HDR, but I don't think I ever uploaded that...)

Need to stop entering/changing at the last minute before vacations, done it a few times before though...

Sorry!

What excactly makes this a HDR? The tones can easily be made in Photoshop with one image. I don't see any of the typical signs of HDR. Besides, I've been playing with "artificial" HDR in Photoshop, and it can look so convincing that I'm not sure why the "normal" HDR is not allowed, since it doesn't really add anything outside GT5.

I hope Denmark was fun, Fishy

You could always argue about that, but it'd be easier just to remove my entry...

Did enjoy it, spent a week touring Jylland.

 

[Apok]

Yeah, it seems like it is your HDR since the picture is the same one you posted here where you state yourself that it's an HDR.

Real shame though, it's a fantastic picture.

 

[mattmflok]

Any feedback on this, mitch?

 

[bmxmitch]

​

Sorry guys, I nearly forgot about your shots.

@cphbullet: Nice car choice (of course ), but the composition seemed a bit bland. IMO you had way better shots than this.

@matt: Same for you. Nice picture, but not in the league of those above.

And sorry for the poor feedback guys. This week had so many good shots, I really don't know where to criticize things now....

Awesome job everyone! And congrats leeislee.

 

[Ferrari_458]

I know I'm a bit late, but I've been on holiday.. Any chance of some feedback on mine Mitch?
