I knew that I would miss this round....
to less originality in my Entry.

But damn, awesome work everyone.👍 There are some outstanding Entries in here, really hard to choose the right one.

 

[strngz0731]

There's some incredible shots in this poll!
(I'm humbly honored and thrilled to have mine included.)

I think I'll have to wait until I've gotten a good night's sleep before I place my vote - with rested eyes...

 

[C-ZETA]

Why didn't mine make the poll? I fear it probably wasn't close up enough.

 

[lbsf1]

Still never got into the final poll, but some amazing entries there.

It was close enough to be considered but you would have done better if it was a bit closer.
I did like the picture but you sadly just got beaten in this one.

If any one else would like to know why they didn't make it then please include your picture or a link to it.

Since there's another Miura shot in here, and that one has a different angle and is a bit more zoomed in. I'm guessing not close enough?

The shot was close enough but the other Miura shot was similar to yours and just a bit better. If there wasn't another Miura in it then you most likely would of made it.

 

[Jacob]

Ah, okay. Thanks. I had not seen the other Miura shot, so I would probably not have changed it anyway.

 

[MetalBeerSolid]

AAAH! I can't decide!


Nice to see mine made it though.

 

[dennisp83]

My handbrake made it
Don't expect to get any votes though...

I nearly voted for it though
Awesome close-up and it deserves, at least, one vote.👍

 

[MetalBeerSolid]

Ok, went with the shot of the e-brake. Risky shot, but fit the theme very well. Plus, the uniqueness combined with the excellent lighting and depth of field make it stand out. 👍

Lol didn't even see these comments. Great shot dennis.

excellent, haha! 👍

 

[dennisp83]

OMG, thank you guys !!
Makes me feel like I won already

 

[Wallbreaker]

Outstanding Entries, as always guys

Would have been extremely disappointed if I hadn´t make it into this poll, as this is maybe my favourite theme of all time

 

[tonilleshusband]

LOVE Zigged's gauges - the lighting is perfection. Lots of great entries so I am pretty pumped to have made the poll let alone having the early lead.

Well with clear eyes my votes in - I've joined the ranks of the logical and have voted for the front-runner...


WOW - I got a vote!
Much thanks, much appreciated, much unexpected...

I was going back in forth between it and tonilleshusband's shot. In the end the reflection of town was just too cool.

Was surprised to not see incendius's pic with the chapel reflecting in the shift knob. Fantastic picture, would have had my for vote for sure.

 

[725]

Yay made the poll! Very handsome poll too great entries all round very hard to place a vote 👍

 

[ThaSyn]

Nice shots, though I'm a bit stunned my entry didn't make it

 

[sprplay]

Thanks for beeing in the poll and ...

even one vote. I was so unsure if the gauges of the old mercy are any good.

 

[Samareye]

I'm honored to have my first ever entry included in the voting round of this competition

 

[Rossticles]

I thought my F10 suspension shot would make it.

Le Mans 24 headlight gets my vote, and apparently the vote of many others.

 

[ashes619]

Sorry. It was a great shot but IMO it had too much angle. Re-thinking I probably should have put you in but sadly I didn't.

Sorry.

I thought his was a great shot but I found (what I believe was two balls) in the top right hand corner a bit too distracting, and a little weird.

EDIT : Oh, and Rossticles, Sadly for you I just didn't think it was zoomed in enough for that shot.

 

[Rossticles]

It's all good. I thought my entry was good enough, but according to the judging criteria it wasn't.

 

[MetalBeerSolid]

How does that F458 not have any votes? I mean, it could have been closer, but it's photorealistic.

It was my second choice.

@ kaede: Thanks for the vote.
