Further explanation of the theme, as described by Raphaele:

"Motorsport legend Jacky Ickx was the first ever to gather a six-pack of 24 hours of Le Mans victories.
In 1969, with the legendary John Wyer Automotive "Gulf Oil" Ford GT 40 Jacky highlighted his endurance
career when he was the last to start the race, chasing the field and winning finally with a nose of 110 meters.
Let us celebrate the driver, the car #6 and the track."


CAR: Ford GT40 Race Car '69.

Chose that formidable shot of Giulietta. Most authentic, Jacky Ickx might say!

It was the second time in three years for me winning the CCCL Competition and having the privilege to judge. I appreciate every single shot you guys posted in my theme "Gulf Ford GT40" #6 Jacky Ickx 1969. Thank you for participating and delivering that much of photographic quality in spite of pure PMC rules and the car being a Standard!
Please allow me to explain my personal opinion regarding your entries.


Crooooooow
A dramatic and beautiful shot of that vehicle slightly entering a right turn. I appreciate the car being not right in the middle of the photo seeming to vanish out of focus due to speed as expected. Well observed!

Well, the idea behind the shot might have been to exaggerate the colour code of the GULF-TEAM livery by choosing the partial colour filter. Fine idea. Nevertheless the car's headlights seem to be a little overexposed and do not look that realistic as we might have to be used to after 3 years of GT5 photomode…


ninja0804
In your shot I love that unbelievable feeling of speed due to the perspective. Well done – that is it for me…

Giulietta73
Formidable! My personal winner of the competition. I would have posted a similar shot if I were not "arrested" as judge. I love the colour toning due to warm filter as a reminiscence to the era of 1969 and the whole scene is exactly what I had in mind when I was coming up with my theme.
Congratulations Eric!

ShadowPeter
Indeed a bold perspective and I like it because that shot is so different from the rest. Speed and racing atmo are brilliantly communicated. My choice #2.

The sepia filter makes the shot look a little bit sad. The car has deserved more colour particularly because of that typical blue and orange colour code which imho seems to be neglected without reason. And the GULF livery is a fundamental detail in this comp...

Nato_777
Racy – risky – bold. What else can we expect from a shot of that legendary car!? And from a photographer like Nathan who has proved to be an expert when it comes not only to Ford GT. Great shot without doubt, but imho the wheels look over-exposed and I cannot absolutely certainly say what location we have there. Sorry, but this is CCCL my friend… :)


youtimestwo
What a beautiful scene! The details of that GT5 standard model appear so perfectly almost like a premium model. Unfortunately the shot looks over-exposed and is losing quality by that. Didn't you have shots like this in stock with perfect exposure?

ffjjbb
I love the spot you chose for your shot. That ist typically Le Mans. Looks like Mulsanne Corner heading to Indiananapolis Straight – am I right? Unfortunately the exposure doesn't fit for me … and this a photomode competion…

Nice job with that ^

Yeah agreed. Would be nice if you knew the reasons for our own entries getting into the polls - the judge may see something in the photo that we may have missed. I completely forgot to submit my entry for this comp.
