I guess mine's had less focus on the car.



Went for GT HP Nut's.

Feedback?

Too little attention to the car?

 

[przemekszulim]

I really like the last one shot, and I really want to vote for it... but the car is a little bit too much close to the frame and too high from the bottom of the picture

 

[CCShaft7]

Just an observation - Great poll as always but there are 2 or 3 shots that I myself couldn't be 100% sure are shot in a Japanese location like the theme stated???

I assure you its not a rant or sour grapes or nothing like that cos I didnt make the poll.... I'm well used to that lol and I do still think these pics were taken in the correct location(s) but the doubt remains.

It just seems as though in hindsight I could have taken a great muscle car shot irrespective of what was in the background Its just a clarification thing I think when looking at future comps ie: the Nurburgring themes this week

X2!

The 8th shot is in Mont Aso and the 22th is in Nürburgring GP/F i think.

Mount Aso is a japanese location and the 22nd shot is Fuji speedway

 

[Diogo]

Mt Aso is in Japan ?

 

[ShadowPeter]

Mount Aso is a japanese location and the 22nd shot is Fuji speedway

But is a fictitius circuit.

Yeah, I confirmed is in Fuji Speedway F.

Its not my picture, but I don't think the guidelines had stated it had to be a real circuit, only as long as it was japanese.

Looks like you guys answered all the questions for me, thanks guys 👍. About Mt. Aso PD didn't clarify where it was, but I allowed it last time so I guess we can consider it Japanese again.

 

[CCShaft7]

The Mount Aso was always fine with me 👍 And its actually its not the fact that if they are shot on a japanese track...... but if you can see that they are!
The shots you mention are'nt the ones I'm talking about..... the two TransCammer shots are too obscure for me and although I think they are both excellent pics I find myself holding my vote back because of this. I just like things to be clear thats all really.

 

[SVX]

Great poll, a fair bit of diversity, which is always great. 👍

 

[ThaSyn]

nice poll, but not a single standard car

Ok.

Anyway

Feedback please!

 

[nissanfanatic]

Voted for the one at Kyoto I didn't really

 

[bunchchristian]

Yay poll for me!

 

[AerodyManiac]

Went for GT HP Nut's.

Thanks!

 

[SVX]

Could I please have some feedback on my entry please?

 

[DeathAlley]

Ok.

Anyway

Feedback please!

The car's front end is dark. For that kind of shot, you want to highlight little things. It also looks as if the car is starting to blend with the background. You want to make your car pop out.

Feedback? this competition is hard

What are you trying to make us look? The whole car? I think if you wanted to use that filter, you should have zoomed out a bit so every part of the car is perfectly visible. And sports/comfort tires would have been better if you angled your tires like that. Some treads would have been nice. Racing tires just look flat and boring.

Kyoto - Gion_5 by amoore3165, on Flickr

i'm assuming mine was not picked because you couldnt see the location? if not some feed back would be nice

I think I took the "American muscle car in Japan theme" to seriously, instead of focusing on the car itself Kinda wanted the car to look like an american replica racer, as the color is not the original cobra colors. I aslo focused on the sign with japanese writings, so I kinda let you know that the car really was in Japan

 

[suzq044]

mine must've been too dark for the liking of the judge. Sucks, cause I think it was an awesome shot, myself.

 

[Eric Demory]

The closest I have been to victory with a second place standing, with one vote behind our winner. Better luck next time.

 

[AerodyManiac]

A thank you to jus1029 and przemekszulim (hell your name is hard to type... ) who voted for me!

 

[Aragam]

O.o I won, Woot 2nd win thank you to the voters!

 

[jus1029]

Congrats, Dave!

 

[przemekszulim]
