Great entries this week 👍

This was my entry

(REMOVED FOR POLL'S SAKE)

I don't know whether it didn't make it because it is an edited version of a shot previously in my gallery (although I did remove it from there before entering) or whether it just wasn't good enough So can I have some feedback please? ​

I thought this was a very good shot, however for me I just couldn't find anything about it that had that X Factor, it was just a little too plain. Still a good shot though 👍

feedback please

Again another good shot, but it was just missing something, I think maybe a little bit of camera tilt would've done it

 

[Nuschel01]

Hmm, nearly only R35 and some R34

I choosed a R33, maybe it was wrong?

You choose a good car, the colour tone really put me off. The composition was really good though!

As for there only being nearly R35 and R34's (there is a R33 in there somewhere). I can only choose from what has been entered! For the record no one entered anything lower than an R33

Considering what happened here, I've just now PM'd Nato about this poll. It would seem only fair that given the circumstances, all who sent in entries for this week should be represented in the poll. However, due to the SS comp's unique layout, that will be delayed a bit. Sit tight, folks

What the h-ll? What has Beccosinho done, exactly? Has he been doing some advertising outside of GTP, or was it in PMs or something like that? If he's been banned, it must've been ronsmaps class on it all. Sad to see you of all people do something like that Becco.

And re: TheJanissary. First thing, remove the miniature filter. It may look good, but it is looked down upon by most people. I think it ruins what might have been a great picture. Just keep trying, you've otherwise got a nice start. Will be looking forward to seeing more from you.

Have a look at CCCL votes for Beccosinho from last week. Lots of votes for him with accounts with very few posts, some only just created (some now banned).

If it's true, I can't see why he's cheated as he can take great photos without needing to resort to this

 

[przemekszulim]

What a shame...

 

[Ferrari_458]

Looking through some of the people who are now banned that voted for him, at least one of them has posted praise in Becco's gallery more than once... I see no reason to cheat with the ability to take pics as good as he can...

Without going too far into it, essentially what Richard said above. Contrast and compare those votes to Secret Santa 30, which seems highly coincidental given the anonymous nature, no?

Like others have said, it's disappointing, as his shots were genuinely good. But as a mod, seeing the scale of this from behind the curtains, it absolutely deserved a ban as it shows not just no respect for the competitions and GTPlanet, but every other person who's been playing fair.

 

[Jacob]

But... but... There are a few people whom have been voting for him in the CCCL, and they have now been banned. But I recognize those names, I think a few of those have been voting for me some time. And I'm thinking things like the time I won with the Fairlady Z/280Z that someone of those banned accounts may have been responsible for making me (or someone else in other polls) win... Then he's been using these accounts for several months...

Well, thanks for clarifying SlipZ. Sad to see him go, but well... It's been done before, no mercy was spared then either.

 

[Nuschel01]

You choose a good car, the colour tone really put me off. The composition was really good though!

That's the only color for the R33 which is nice, so no idea why you've been put off.

BTW: I never would've thought about cheating by someone like you who makes really epic shots. What a shame!
If somebody like me who only makes shabby pictures which doesn't even hit the poll I might understand why that guy is cheating, but in this case? no idea why...

 

[dichrott]

thx for the feedback 👍

That made me look at everything weird before this was stated. It's hard to win 1 comp, but back to back? Sad to see it be like a high school popularity contest but it is what it is.

This is an unsual situation, but in this circumstance we will be posting a new poll with all entries from week 32. Those that have posted theirs already in this thread included although they are not so secret anymore but I would ask Ferrari_458, f1_stig, Nuschel01 and dichrott if you can please edit out your photos from this thread now and for everyone who sent in entries if you can PM the entry to me asap and I'll put together a new poll. I will close this thread as soon as the photos are removed from it.

Thank you, Nato

 

[cphbullet]

Im not sure if im allowed to say this (if not, mods feel free to remove it) but i genuinely thought some of the comments to himself i suppose, were pretty funny putting them in context now. Im not sure why he felt the need to do this considering i voted for him because i thought his was best but hay ho. I just hope we can forget this and get the new poll up soon. Clearly im desperate to finally be in a poll lol.

 

[zambuca]

Hm. Interesting to see how easily one guy can turn everything upside down. Hopefully there's not too many of that kind in here.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

All images removed from the thread, Nato 👍

Really regretting not doing an entry this week.

 

[Boabdulrahman]

Do the guys who made it to the poll send their entries to you too ?
