Aah, bronze match! Totally forgot about that :P Best of luck Fyshokid!

A theme I like this time :p
 
Best of luck to all the competitors! 👍

I've been following the tournament and every round was filled with some truly brilliant images. I hope I can be a part of it sometime in the future. I'm already practicing on some new things to improve on my GT5 images 👍
 
good luck guys!:cheers:

I'm already curious how the Entries will look like. "superb of course"
 
Nice theme this time. This is gonna be an interesting round. Especially for the finalists! Can't wait to see what they come up with! Good luck to everyone.
 
I had no idea there was going to be a bronze match.

hard to find nice convertible

That's true. But there's one which came to mind as soon as I read the theme, which is just lovely. ;)

Good luck, mate. 👍
 
I'll hopefully be sending my entry tomorrow, I've had a really busy weekend and I haven't even packed for my holiday yet so my entry will probably just be a quick snapshot!
 
Entry sent. I'm not really sure if people will like my entry, as it's not really something people typically tend to like (at least from what I've seen), but since it was the last round, I thought I might as well send in the picture that I liked the best, and not what I thought other people would like the best :p

I can't wait to see what everyone else sends in!
 
Entry sent. Definitely my least confident round. Just too many good shots to choose from and if it doesn't do well I will be wondering if one of the other shots would have done better. Ah well, like Fyshokid I picked the one I like best and I am happy with it. Cheers Jason, good luck, let the best pic win.
 
Okay my entry is taking a seriously long time to edit :nervous:

Can't wait to see what Moglet's cooked up! :scared:

I've just taken a ton of shots and I'm not sure how I feel about any of them.
 
Entry Send...

It hard to find the right car and when you have found the right car and do some couple of picture, so it's hard to pick right picture for this tournament. :)

DiabolicalMask good luck
 
I went with the jump off the bridge and see if it flies attempt, so for it's worked for me, lol. Hopefully it will be a how in the world type reaction again.

Good Luck Tonilleshusband :cheers:

And I changed it 3 times while typing the PM to Nick.

I'm really really struggling on this one, I've got to get my entry in tonight but I'm not feeling good about any of my images at the minute! I might have to submit an old unused photo....
 
That's not a bad idea Moglet...using an old favorite is better than submitting something you're not happy with. As long as it has that 'Moglet quality mark' it doesn't matter when it was made ;)

That's where I got the idea from on mine. Looked at some old unposted shots then shot a new version of it.
 
Will submit when I get off work in a few hours. I think i overdid the editing on mine... pleased with the result though. Pretty sick of dodge and burn tools now...
