Update: So since this is a fairly small one, I figured I'd put it up before the H2H stuff. A few things: a gold just means I won the round, except qualifiers. The second one was the 4th highest-voted... but as the other 3 were all tied, I consider that silver
. Also, the Fish Market STI technically won the round on a tie to Krame, but his STI beat the Cien in the tie-breaker. Oh, and while I did a qualifier for the 6th tournament, some r/l issues meant I never submitted for the first week. So that's why there's the gap. Enjoy!
TVR - I hadn't done any background colour changes in a while, I thought it would look good on Laguna, and look a bit like it did in GT3.
redhawk - My only experience with film is my dad's Minolta and a few Pentax from my high school days. I've got an ancient Coolpix 4500 I saved up for back in high school, but I've been itching to pick up a DSLR for ages now. Film is too costly an option for me
. Good luck with the gallery!
Alex - New? I may have a surprise for you in a short while, once I get the H2H stuff out of the way
. The previews take a fair amount of time, especially collecting them and browsing the old threads. I'm glad you enjoy so many of them, I'm positive a few of yours would end up covering my walls. Make that more than a few!
jgda9rs -
. I don't quite get it man, but that did make me laugh.
Swiss Legend - Thanks! I originally found that spot during my old, huge STI update. It's an unfortunate place to work though for truly realistic looking shots; the number of shots that will show off the words are small, and the lighting sucks. Other than that, though...

Franz - This one's for you, buddy
. I thought it might be taken as such, but I don't plan on leaving. I just was looking back through the gallery one day and saw that you have been asking for comp entries for literally years, and Alex as well more recently, so I figured why not. I'll probably just end up putting new ones up in these respective posts when they come along. I have a confession: The WRX shot has been redone. It should have been saved somewhere, but I couldn't find it anywhere on the computer, and even Imageshack's servers got rid of it. I based things off the preview, so the colour's are very close, the rims are done the same way I used to, and I even resisted doing any serious clean up, since I couldn't back then, haha. The Cien shot wasn't saved in my normal folder either, but Imageshack didn't kill it off. Kinda disappointed, but this one looks so very close. Hope it works man!
LdS - Thanks! I think I may be obsessive-compulsive, that's why I organize the gallery so much
.
Sej - It's so awesome to see you pop in here. I'm flattered I was of some inspiration. It's been awesome seeing you establish your own style to such a high level, and you've made some incredible, iconic images. You're back on the first page of this, same with Franz! I'm definitely looking forward to GT5
. The Castrol definitely deserves an update, though!
