CLOSED: POLL: CCCL Competition: Week 89 - WINNER: Nato_777

[Nato_777]

Further explanation of the theme, as described by bmxmitch:

"The M3 always was the best model BMW had to offer. Just think about the E30!
Or the new DTM car! Gorgeous cars, arent they?
Unfortunately we only have one version in GT5, but that's one nice version.
So take it to the historical, and best looking track , Nordschleife and do some hot laps there.
I'm sure you'll have fun! "

Mitch has also provided a you tube link to give you some inspiration.

CAR: BMW M3 Coupe '07
LOCATION: Nürburgring Nordschleife 24h

I've been trying those for weeks now, i prefer verticals to most horizontals that i take but i seem to be the only one.

 

[jus1029]

I made it!

Voted for the blue Bimmer!

You refere to my photo?? It's on curve "Dunlop".

 

[zzz_pt]

Yep ShadowPeter You can say that and I belive off course but for the rules, the location must be noticeable. I know it's not the first time I say this but if there are rules to be broken I suggest to take them out.

 

[AerodyManiac]

Any feedback, bmxmitch?

If possible this lunch, show you my picture clearly unedited in the same place.

Anyway, even if my picture is deleted, will not go nowhere, looking at the poll.

Off-Topic: 777 posts?? (Because remember me your username. xD)

Learn to read better or maybe its a translation problem?

There must be at least some detail of the background (location) visible in the picture that
can later be identified to be part of the location specified in the theme. If the location is
not immediately clear from the picture you must provide the exact location if it's queried.

 

[zzz_pt]

I know how to read. And I don´t need giant letters in bold.

Now if you don't get my point i will give you an example.

example por zzz__pt, no Flickr​

How can you be sure this is in Nurb? Even if I say the exact location? I hope you get it.

It's on "Karussel", right?? Because of the line on right. xD

 

[zzz_pt]

nop

 

[ShadowPeter]

In that case, "Schwalbenschwanz".

And end of off-topic.

Just as reminder, we had several images where you couldn't acknowledge which track it is made on. Thats no reason to disqualify a shot IMO.

But, I nearly dismissed Pete's shot just because he did a veeery similar shot not long ago (avatar! ). But I was in a good mood yesterday, so he made it. But I'm sure thats the last time you can post a shot like this mate.


Oh and I don't like horizontal images more than vertical ones. It's just, the others were simply better this time.....


And another thing. The 3 images I loved the most, my Top3, got 4 votes in total right now. 4 votes!!!!!!!
The 3 I picked for the last few places got around 12 votes now. lol
My taste is so different to most here.....



feedback will be posted later btw........or tomorrow.

 

[ShadowPeter]

Crap... i forgot to transfer the photo on XMB...

Good shot, but it doesn't have the punch that a lot of the other ones do because many of them have that nice evening light. And to much tilt.

 

[Fat Buff Guy]

I would also loose the wing for this contest. I understand its purpose but visually it's not pleasing.

I feel with real specific locations you should really try and include the location as much as possible. Otherwise whats the point of a specific location. And I guess with that reason I though my image was pretty strong. Oh and I thought the cars looked good too but maybe not. Thoughts?

Don't be so modest, its a great shot, deserved win. Your on fire atm, 2 wins in 2 comps. 👍

 

[jus1029]

Congrats again, Nathan!

Thanks to bmxmitch (the judge himself ) and GTCHAMPION1 for the votes! 👍

 

[Sir Tuddle]

wow, can't say i didn't see this coming

Congrats, Nato!

 

[driftinziggy]

Congrats,Nate..excellent shot..and thanks to those who voted for my shot!

 

[bmxmitch]

Alright, time to give some feedback. Sorry to let you guys wait so long.

​

The problem with your shot is mainly the composition. The car seems to be out of the image focus and too dark.
You should've gone a bit more to the left with your cam IMO.
But I like the realistic looking background! But that, at the same time, distracts even more from the car.

I dont know, that sonic boom in the back is way too much for my liking. I never liked that kind of pictures in GT5. Many people do it, but I don't see a reason why. If the warming filter does an effect like this, I better change the angle or filter to avoid this effect.
But hey, thats just my taste. I'm sure other people really like that shot and look you created there.

​

Hmm, the other one may would've made it. But I dont know which one I would've kicked out instead.
But the other one, well, it is a great shot too. But it reminded me to much to another shot that won a PMC a few weeks/month back. It's pretty much the exact same one. I had the issue with Peters shot too, I liked both of your shots, but I didn't wanted to include two shots that were made before in the exact same way.

There just were too many great shots again this week....

Good realistic shot you made there, just the angle and position were a bit too much for my taste. And the barrier on the left side distracted me a bit to much too. :/

I feel with real specific locations you should really try and include the location as much as possible. Otherwise whats the point of a specific location. And I guess with that reason I though my image was pretty strong. Oh and I thought the cars looked good too but maybe not. Thoughts?

Your shot really is a good one too. You missed it out by maybe 2 positions.
I've gone back and forth with your shot, Natos (the winner!!!!) and another one or two.
The only thing that made me decide against your shot was the too blurry background. A bit sharper would've been nice.
And it maybe felt a bit too static against some other shots.



But overall, this was one great week again. You guys made it look like the 2.0 week from the past! :tup:
And honestly, I was surprised Nato's shot won this week. I nearly havent included his shot!

Some of my favorites tough struggled to get any votes. But who cares, any shot in the poll would've been a worthy winner!

That 'sonic-boom' is an accidental by-product, what I actually liked is the car's colours.

Thanks for the reply.
