oh mai gawd ! , those are better as i expected .. can´t decide *_*

 

[ashes619]

I made the poll.
Lots of great shots here and I doubt I will win this one.

 

[MetalBeerSolid]

Damn, these are all amazing!!!

All I can say is, I'm in!


Voted for the Mclaren F1. Absolutely gorgeous, even in the massive full-size. Perfect shadows for the theme too. My new PS3 background.

 

[Jacob]

I made it!

Amazing work this week, stunning shots.

And I can say, I think I know who took the 1st shot.

 

[Nato_777]

Once again those who unfortunately did not make the poll can feel free to post their entry here for the rest of us to see.

 

[nanabu]

hmm why do only 3 of them "look" to the left ?

 

[tonilleshusband]

The back lighting on the Macca is iconic - as if the car weren't already.

 

[Mynock005]

A little disappointed this didn't make the cut. Guess I have to do better next time if I decide to enter.

 

[ziggedzag]

Great entries in the poll this week. Here was mine.

 

[ZEROX]

Huh, something wrong about some of the shoots in there.
Silhoutte is about an object consisting outline and featureless interior.
But some of them are....

Anyway, i voted for the Mclaren in teh Red Bull Hangar
That ZR1 also achieve perfect silhoutte theme.

Here's my entry:

Oh, and don't get me wrong. The shoots up there are all amazing, i just think that some of it don't fit with the theme.

 

[Fezz_ST]

I'm not surprised I didn't make it tbh, I could have chose a better car/location/composition, seeing the top 10 though, I don't think a better picture would have made it either

Here's my poor attempt

Technically all we had to do was a "side view" of the car. You're using the more literal definition of the word.

 

[Nato_777]

Actually, I really like that Fezz_ST.

 

[ZEROX]

But the theme said 'Silhoutte'.
And we've to shoot it from the side.
Man, this making me mad(crazy/confuse).

Yours wasn't that bad, not at all. Just a bit to dark in my taste. But this week was harder to judge than expected, so no worries, I don't think your shot is bad.

Great entries in the poll this week. Here was mine.

hmmm, I really struggled with your Entry. It has something special with the negative tone, but I just wasn't feeling it. Maybe it would've been nicer if the car just shows some outlines or would be white. But in the end, I'm just not a big fan of negative pictures. Sorry.....

maybe we construe the theme "Silhouette" a bit different. What I was thinkin of was the complete outline/sideview of a car. Maybe Silhouette is the wrong word for it, but I thought it fits. Sorry for you, but just that you know, I really thought of taking yours in the poll too.
It looks nice and very well done. But what diordered me was the second car in front. With only the one car in the back, it may have made it. Because (even though its not a full sideview) the Silhoutte looks great on that car.

It's not poor at all. I really liked it. But you know, with that amount of great Entries, I just had to cut some down. Yours was (sadly) one of them....


But overall, this week was really really great. I was expecting some nice Entries, but that it gets THAT hard, I haven't see that coming.
Good job everyone, hope we keep this comp alive! 👍

I never thought a man from Germany would go against an R10

Its okay, the R18 won Le Mans

Hmm. Okay.

But if I choose the car (uhm, poll) just for its provenance I only receive german cars next time....

Hmm. Okay.

Y U no happy?
Sorry mate, your shot really missed the poll as one of the last shots.

I see, i got the reason. So i can sleep happily tonight.

My Subaru bribe didn't work then Mitch?

 

[HagbardCeline23]

Here was my entry, wouldn't mind some feedback, I'm still a n00b when it comes to editing

 

[bmxmitch]

nope
But thanks again for that lovely car!

Really good attempt!👍 But I just couldn't see a good silhouette in it. To much going on in this picture. The extreme sharpness on the car and background distracted me a bit to much.
I just couldn't see the theme in it.

But it really looks good for me and in no way noobish.

 

[HagbardCeline23]

Cheers Mitch 👍 good to know it was more a case of missing the theme than a bad pic!

 

[Mynock005]

Not unhappy with you, mad at myself. These are photomode competitions, so I'm here to win them. When I don't win, I'm not happy with myself, therefore I have to try again next week. If this was the regular photomode section just showing off pictures I could care less what people think, but to win in here what people think about your photo is what makes or breaks it. The more opinions I get in here, the more I improve my chances for next week.

 

[Apperosio]

This was my entry.



Still haven't decided which one to vote for.....

​

 

[ThaSyn]

Nice shots all:tup:

This was mine

 

[Jacob]

Seeing every one else's entries, I don't feel like I deserved to be in the poll.

 

[nanabu]

which one is your´s ?

 

[Jacob]

which one is your´s ?

I can't say that.
You'll have to wait and see. But I can say that I ain't winnin'. Thankfully.
