This theme is way harder than it sounds...voting is very difficult due to the theme itself and the stunning entries.

=========



The too dark front and the slightly blurred out rear spoiled it right? Feedbacks welcome

 

[AerodyManiac]

Aww, I need feedback, zambuca!



I thought I had taken a pretty decent shot

 

[Nuschel01]

Feedback?

It IS a very nice shot GT HP Nut. Full review coming up tonight or tomorrow.

So it was apparently a "full car in picture theme". Wasted a good picture then.

If you take another look at the poll I believe you would have to rephrase that Sorry that you wasted a good picture.

Well mostly full car & 3/4 of the car pictures. Mine was like 1/8 of the car & by wasted I mean it probably would have worked better for another future theme, kind of got a bit confused on this one.

 

[przemekszulim]

Almost great poll- there are few photos which imho are not even close to the level of other entries..

waiting for full feedback

Mitch's theme will be up in a few hours folks: I slept in this morning, so as soon as I'm home from work I'll get that sorted! However, if you'd like to start shooting early, his H2H theme is as follows:

Road vs Race - pick either a road car, or a race car, to shoot this week. Simple enough, right? Mitch only asks that no x2010/1's or F1 cars are used. He also prefers single car shots, but that isn't a hard rule this week. He has 3 of his favorites on Share right now if you want a jump on things... Just hold off on posting any entries until the thread is up!

 

[bmxmitch]

Thanks to bear with me that much Kyle.
I had so many themes ready for this week, but just wasn't prepared for a H2H theme.

I hope this one is alright for anyone.
Also, I wanted a theme where only my Top5 cars are used, but I think this wont work this time. But for those who want to try it with my tunes, please go for it and borrow them.

And as always, be creative and have fun.


Ohh, my winning shot as edited version (for those who care....)

Sorry if this is a noob question but, how do you get that rain drop effect on that picture of the red viper?

 

[zambuca]

Hello everyone

As promised here's the full review, attached as a pdf file like last time.

A few photos are missing since they failed to qualify because of different reasons.

Thanks again to all who entered this weeks competition.

 

[Jacob]

Well, thanks for including me as one of the wildcards, I wasn't really expecting to make it this week.

 

[nfdids]

[Raphaele]

[JediRage]

Thanks for the effort put into the feedback zambuca.

 

[Miklad]

Nice feeback Zamb. 👍

 

[kennylmao]

I just can't seem to figure out how that rain effect works in that Viper picture.

Can the secret be revealed DarkR? I don't mind if you have to kill me after.

 

[Miklad]

He was probably shooting through some shrubs or scenery - the camera can sometimes throw up some interesting artifacts like that.

WTF why are there so many with zero votes? any of those are great shots.

 

[AerodyManiac]

Yes, this happens very often, especially in recent competitions

 

[ENTERSANDMAN13]

Lol, mine is the orange Aventador. Forever Alone

 

[mattmflok]

on the other hand, i seem to have forgotten to thank zambuca for his effort

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Did Mitch just pull a back-to-back? Why yes, yes he did!

​

Congrats to you, bmxmitch, and a pre-emptive thank you for giving us all a chance by sitting out this week

 

[zambuca]

Congrats mitch! You did a very good job isolating the car, and what a car A well deserved win 👍

 

[bmxmitch]

Oh man, thanks soo so much everyone.
I wasn't really expecting to win another round. Thats.....well, INSANE!


But I got one problem.....time! I don't think I will manage to judge another week this time. I will start my further education in design engineering on monday and then go canoeing for 4 days till sunday night.

So, not much time to judge this week properly, even though I had an awesome theme ready.🤬
Anyways, I will hand out this week for anyone who wants to judge a PMC week. Just send me your theme and I'll decide who will get this weeks judging position.
If thats Ok Slipz?!

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Typically, if a winner is unavailable for judging, that duty falls to the second-place person (RED3MON). It makes sense

Alternately, if you won't be free until Sunday evening, that should still be fine as it would just give people a few extra hours. If you don't think you'll be able, though, I would prefer handing off things to RED
