Further explanation of the theme, as provided by Berseker:

"Some say he brought dream cars to life. This weeks guys, I want to give a tribute to the Toyota
master chief test triver, Hiromu Naruse, who died in LFA near the Nürburgring track in 2010.
I really like this car, and the sound that comes from it gives me chills.
So I wish you, to give the best you have, with this beast on this legendary track.
Have fun."

CAR: Lexus LFA '10
LOCATION: Nürburgring Nordschleife (Time/Weather change version allowed)

Congrats to everyone who made the poll. I'm a bit bummed I didn't make the cut, but my photo was the polar opposite of everything here.

Great looking poll, some really pretty shots there. Any critique on mine?

No offense, but it's a pretty typical shot of airtime at Flugplatz. Perhaps a vertical shot directly in front of the car would improve it, but it'd still be lacking in the originality factor.

Better than most in the poll mate 👍

Another strong poll, any feedback on my entry?

I like the car colour and exposure choice, the orange stands out nicely with the dark greens. The two pieces sticking out in the left of the frame are a bit loose though, maybe a tighter crop or shift the camera right next time. My general thought on potentially distracting foreground or background objects is a whole lot of em or none.

 

[rpanico14]

thanks for the feedback! I guess I should have entered this one instead

The red LFA made me 👍

There's been an image disqualified for a member voting for themselves. Unfortunately, that means the following people will all have to recast their votes:

CakeConjuror, CCShaft7, CCXRacer, f1webberfan, Fido_le_muet, FordMKIVJ5, ijkhk4, Lellep, mp10, TheCracker, zambuca

 

[Meandog]

wow, the DQ'd one was actually really good, what a shame

 

[CCXRacer]

Must not have read the rules, still should've had the presence of mind to not vote for yourself anyways. Kinda lame. Really good shot too.

 

[jus1029]

May we see the DQ'd pic?

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was fkxpro's picture.
You can find it in the non-poll thread for week 33.

 

[CCShaft7]

a noob question here. How do I re-cast my vote? Still showing as "you have already voted...."

I believe SlipZ has to reset your votes which I thought had been done - may be worth sending him a quick PM and asking as I'm sure you should be able to recast your vote by now.

Thanks for the tip 👍 will PM Slipz at first opportunity.

 

[fkxpro]

lol wut. I didnt know that was a rule, but i guess i didnt read the rules. I just voted for what i thought was my favorite, in the other two polls it wasnt mine... if im remembering correctly.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Hmmm, that's strange... I can't seem to get the votes to permanently erase, the record of those voters always stay. I may not have noticed this before since typically, DQ'd images only ever effect a handful of people.

As a solution, please just post your choice in here, the poll option number with a brief description to avoid any mix-ups (ex: #6 - Red, turning). That way, it's still public, and Nato could always add them on once the poll closes if you're one of those 11 effected.

I'm looking into if it's just a limitation of the board software

 

[zambuca]

My vote goes to #12 from the top (not counting the DQ 1) - the one with the castle in the back. Great pic 👍

 

[CCXRacer]

My vote goes to #11, the black(?) LFA from the rear. Looks like panning mode 3 was used, really like that one.

 

[CCShaft7]

I'd like to cast my vote for shot #1 (Beccoshino's I think), nice subtle reflection of sunlight on driver and car 👍

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

I'll cast my vote for #11 black LFA taking a left turn and missing the apex.

 

[StoneyNUFC]

I'll cast my vote for #11 black LFA taking a left turn and missing the apex.

Nooo, I'm just about to nail the apex don't ya mean

 

[Nato_777]

Poll Closed...after taking the recast votes into consideration the winner is still the leading entry with 21 votes belonging to CCShaft7. Congrats CCS7! 👍

 

[Jacob]

Congratulations!

 

[CCXRacer]

The winner really is an awesome shot. As for me it's been months since I've entered a competition and to come in 2nd with 15 votes, I'm stoked! lol

 

[CCShaft7]

Woohoo.... many many thanks for all the votes guys 👍 , I'm really chuffed to bits with this one, gotta love the LFA. Tinged with a bit of sad for the DQ cos I really liked that shot a lot .

No clue what I'm gonna come up with yet for the next one so off to do a bit of 'research' lol.

 

[jus1029]

Congrats, CCShaft! Your red LFA looked great with the cross-processing effect! 👍
