What a pleasure to see this thread! :) Great work everyone!

Ferrari_458, very nice couple 👍
 
Well done, guys!
A lot of nice photos in here.
Especially the 2.0 ones. I wish I could edit like that.
 
bmxmitch, Gtuned and Taiga's entries are insanely beautiful :drool: Some of the best I've seen in recent time. The rest are great too, of course. It was pretty tough to choose between some of them.
 
Absolutely great work in these polls!
Though, amazingly little head-to-head battles…

i was a little worried when i got paired with gtuned as i'm still quite new to editing. i've had some success with the unedited stuff but when i saw the pic i was up against :dunce: i'm just happy i made it through to the first round. i thought my pic fit the bill pretty well but his definately makes me feel like i got a lot to learn and need some actual editing software. 👍
 
Fyshokid's got quite a lead over me... nicely done ;)

I doubt I'll ever win a tournament again, everyone is just too good now! :lol:👍

Congrats on your win chrishan, apologies for pretty much handing you the win and not putting up the competition that your shot deserved, i really struggled with this theme but anyway good luck with round two:)👍
 
I'm a little confused as how to vote. The banners have boxes to vote for?
 
Typically, you ignore the boxes for the banners; they're just their to organize the poll. Though with the more recent GT5 Tournaments, people vote for the banners as well, based on if they like the theme. But really, the important thing is to vote for one image per coupling 👍

I'm a bit surprised by the current results, actually! To those who've voted for mine so far, thanks! Good luck Zach; you pulled off the cool filter well, I can never go near that thing.
 
I am blown away that some of these pictures are even from the same game I am playing. Holy crap lol. Well done!
 
How on Earth were you able to create that CCShaft? Insane! Even more insane that people decided to vote for mine. :eek::dunce::P

Congrats on your win CCShaft, 'twas an honor competing against you. :)

Hey! Well, I had a hard time to decide which photo I am going to submit.
One of my choices nearly looked like yours, that would've been funny. :D
There are not many options sadly to capture a Nascar during the pit stop!
We'll see how it's going to look in 3 days. =) Good luck!

It was my honor too mate 👍
Thank you SVX for those kind words, I am honestly completely blown over and flattered by the response :eek: ......I had my doubts right up to submitting but I guess I must have hit a 'sweet' spot with the voters. A big cheers to everyone that voted 👍👍

I think all the themes deserve to be closer than they stand at the moment but I guess thats the rub when its a 50/50 choice. Well done to everyone 👍 some of those PMC entries are way past what I'm capable of :dunce:
 
Brilliant entries and many hard choices in this poll. So glad i didn't enter the tournment. I'd get battered! some serious talent going on in here.

I don't know what has happened in the past year but everyone has improved so much!

Well done to all of you.
 
Great shot Taiga - a worthy winner! :)👍

Good work everyone - each one is superb quality. :D
 
Damn, I had expected to do much better. I'm getting slaughtere:scared:d


One of my shots that I was debating about using was VERY close to yours! Except my car was white. It's a good shot, and I can't believe I have that many votes, thanks everyone!

I don't think my nerves have been this tied up about anything in a long time, as they were while I was waiting for the poll lol.
 
Raph is dominating our theme.... Bravo,sir... I knew he was gonna bring his A game!

Thank you sir!
I enjoyed competing with you and it was an honour, too.
Most likely I'll meet SlipZtrEm in round 2 – and this might be my chance for revenge for Tournament Season 2 / Round 2.

We'll meet again…👍

I hope so!
 
Kudos kaede :cheers: , master of artistic close-up, again! :bowdown:

Fantastic image. :drool: Inform us all where that canopy is, Chamonix, SSR?

Reality of round 1 draw with a season 4 finalist proves insurmountable! :ouch:
Continued success to you as season 5 progresses. 👍


Thanks to all who voted for my enZo shot, :) 30% of vote poll is still a victory for me :P, that rear plate light is so annoying, attempt was to diffuse light vertically through the frame and balance composition, I hope it worked. ;)

Must agree that all the tournament entries are awesome, fine work everyone and good luck to those who advance! :gtpflag:
 
Tight win Nicknameagluem! Congrats and good luck!
Thanks for all the votes on my shots this tournament:)

I'm surprised I won going up against you, ceiling_fan. Your shot was really great too! I guess I just got lucky :)
 
Tight win Nicknameagluem! Congrats and good luck!
Thanks for all the votes on my shots this tournament:)

Thanks, it was a great battle, really really tight. We both had very distinctive interpretations to the same theme and that's probably the reason the votes are so equally distributed for both of us. I really liked the theme and really liked the way you have interpreted. ;) 👍

Now, up against Gtuned, I'll be crushed. :scared:
 
Whoo! Made it through this time. Probably the only time i'll ever have more votes than DarkR :lol: Thanks everyone, and reverand, just keep practicing man, you'll get the hang of it.
