Further explaination of the theme by bmxmitch.

"Kaz gives us finally some new VW's to play with.
Personally, I'm very stoked about it, because I drove both of them (the Golf and Scirocco).
Unfortunately we dont have them yet, but I want you to make me want them even more.
So show me any of the VW's GT5 already offers. The Golf1, Karmann, whatever you want to.
Just no Schwimm- or Kubelwagen."

Cars: Any VW's (Standard or premium) NO Kubelwagen/Schwimmwagen and no
Golf RM version.
Locations: Any, BUT preferably City tracks or the Nordschleife or similar racetracks.
Phototravel: No.
Unique Restrictions: As said, no Kubelwagen/Schwimmwagen or Golf RM version.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Bmxmitch could not split between a few entries and requested to include an extra 3, and being in a festive spirit I've agreed to allow the extras for this poll.

It was a good turnout this week with excellent entries (same can be said across the board in the comps this week). Well done everyone, even those that didn't make it.

Great poll, although I thought I had a chance... Anyway, here it is



Any comments?​

You guys really didn't made it easy for me. I'm glad Nato agreed with my suggestion.
But I could easily asked for a Top20 too, but that would've been to much, even on Christmas.


@Ferrari_458:
I was considering to include yours in the poll too. I would've liked to see more variety and your Samba Bus would've fitted perfectly.
But I simply thought the others looked a bit more interesting. Somehow your shot didn't do anything to me. Its nothing really wrong with it, even the grass/flowers haven't distracted me, but I missed something that made me say....uhhh, nice.
Maybe with a different angle or other tones. Something that made it stand out a bit more.
I would liked to give you all a little Christmas surprise, but rules are rules....

Thanks for the quick reponse Mitch 👍 To be honest, I kinda agree It's definately not my best pic, but I thought I'd give it a go... I just wanted to use the SambaBus

Here's mine which didn't make it this week.



Spent quite some time cleaning this one up and was very happy with the result (still am). Not to worry though, I enjoyed doing it. This was the original.

I wanted to use a standard and not the DLC, however as nanabu suggested it would have been easy to guess it was my photo.

The idea behind this shot was pretty nice, but I got way to much distracted from the weird sky. It looks all a bit like a painted picture. The car looks kind of weird on it too. Like it was placed there afterwards...
It just couldn't compete with those other shots IMO.

Sorry mate, but keep on trying, I'm sure you will have more luck this week

Indeed it is! (I nearly gave a hint here! Whoops....)

I would've loved to include yours too. But as I told you already, the windows distracted me way too much.
But its nice to switch tabs with the original and your edited version. Very good work Nato.👍
But I'm not surprised, you're a master when it comes to cleaning up old standard cars.

And I should've asked you to make it a Top15 instead 13, with 2 more, yours would've made it!

Unlucky Nato. I really like that a lot and would vote for it if it was in the poll, really funky and nice lighting, crisp.

Be proud to stick it in your gallery.

 

[Nato_777]

Thank you kindly Chromatic, high praise indeed coming from someone of your calibre! 👍
There will be an RSI set from that shoot appearing sometime soon in my gallery.

Congrats Becco! I think this is the most beautiful poll ever, RetroGiant, ZEROX, c_f, nanabu, Fido and DarkR stood for my favorites in this poll. Great shots from everyone of course, but those were just... incredible. 👍

Congrats Becco !
Looking forward for your theme !
