And I will get prizes out for the Semi Finals next week probably, I'm traveling this week.
 
That gold F40 is just horrific...
 
:lol:

Gimme another car to gold out for a trophy.

I just went with car that wins the most.

It's a good idea for a trophy! It's just not exactly the classiest looking car in the world ;) But as a trophy it's great 👍

That's what I was going for. I thought a Gold Chrome Midget II might be a bit excessive.

:lol:
 
I'm ready but unable to decide right now.:scared:

But 3 more days time for it.:)
 
Entry Sent - Good luck honkydonky. I am short on time so you got my best of 12.

It was not seven.

Going on holiday Friday so will try and put something worthy in tomorrow, think there is a big difference in your skills and mine but I will be happy with 4th place :)
 
It's done! Entry sent. :scared:

I couldn't decide between two shots, so my girl made the pick. Hope she picked the right one.....:sick::sly:


Good luck DarkR! Cant wait to see yours. :)


Also, I uploaded my reject here! ;)

Haha now you have a scapegoat lol
 
Congragulations to all 4 who have managed to squeeze into the final, you have gone a long way before making it here, and you should be proud to be in the top 2. Don't be exhasted, even if you didn't win.

For the 3rd and 4ths, though you lost at the last match, don't be sad, as you still've got chance to get a place in the HOF. Now is the time you fight back!

And, to all 8, this is your last chance, so be sure to give you best shot at it! Good luck!

I wouldn't say that Honky. Sometimes a comp has as much to do with what house the moon rises under as the skill of the photographer. Sometimes it's just your time, sometimes not. I prefer to see it as we are all equals. We shoot the same cars, in the same places, with the same cameras. It's all about channeling inspiration, and that can be very different one day to the next. That said, you have entered some very, very good shots of late, and I would not be disappointed to come in fourth to a worthy opponent such as yourself.

Translation - don't doubt yourself, competitions are not won by last weeks shot.

Best of luck, give 'em hell.
 
Entry sent.

Good luck SlipZtrEm, and everyone else too!

:cheers:

Right back at you, sir - the battle of the Canadians shall be a good one :D

Entry's sent: only shot 6 images for this one, had the idea in my head this whole week, and I feel like I got what I wanted. Now to wait for the poll...

Good luck everybody, it's been a great Tournament as always :cheers:
 
Entry sent. Open theme is really not easy to do at all. Hope people will like it.

Good luck to everyone. :cheers:
 
Entry sent, thought the deadline was in about 7 hours from now.
Sorry for the delay guys.
I hope I chose the right one as it was rushed.
 
I was once living in BC. Really lovly place.

The maple leaves and cherry blossom are beautiful. 👍
