Further explanation of the theme, provided by Aderrrm:

"Four-wheel drive cars are known for having great traction so this week you'll be
taking a picture of a 4WD car getting it's power down, perhaps exiting a corner or
pulling off from it's grid box at the start of a race.
A little flamboyance might not go a miss either."[/b]


CARS: 4WD cars only
LOCATIONS: Any
PHOTOTRAVEL: No
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: See above

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.
This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
  • Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image? Read this sticky!
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it;
    it makes poll creation much easier!

  • No post-GT5 editing, besides proportionally resize and rotate, is allowed.
    [*]One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
    [*]Do not ask other users to choose your entry.
    [*]Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text. On H2H weeks, which side, as well.
    [*]You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
    either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
    [*]When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
    [*]Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
    [*]A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
    [*]Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
    [*]Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 25. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 12-picture,
    4-day polls. The winners from each faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
    [*]Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
    [*]The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
    It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

Just so you know what I'm looking for aswell, the car should look like it's really trying to pull away which is what I mean by being flamboyant. Maybe not so much flamboyance that it's full-on tyre smoke drifting. The way the picture is taken can also be flamboyant to show how the car is getting it's power down, but I'll leave that for people to interpret.

...so there you have it! As for 2.0 Advanced this week - there's just a small delay, as I'm just clarifying some things from chromatic to avoid potential questions. Sit tight!
 
I've got such a good idea for this comp, it's just a shame that I don't have a PS3.
 
I'll go first, I guess... :P

Thanks, that further explanation was helpful, because I immediately had an idea but after that it would have been completely wrong :)
 
Does it really have to be 4WD only :(
I was hoping to show the benefits of 4WD over RWD coming out of a corner :((((((

Yes. :D Sometimes when the car choice is open, I have absolutely no idea what car to use so hopefully I'm doing some people a favour by narrowing it down to a certain drivetrain. But I guess it's a preference thing.
 
Yeah fair enough, just another quick question, a n00b one it is...
The proportionally resize and rotate ruling, I've just taken a photo sideways to make use of an aspect ratio, can I then rotate the picture so it's the correct way up and then enter it?

"No post-GT5 editing, besides proportionally resize and rotate, is allowed."

From this I would say it would be alright but I'm not 100% sure so someone might have to confirm.
 
It was pain to choose the right one for this comp. :indiff: I´ll stick with this one for now.

Final Entry

Gettin' a grip.
