Where has the common car comp gone? It upsets me that sl55kman's pic, as well as Maniks, although OK, has way too many votes for it. More, I should add, votes than Mcreis, who has a great pic this week.

It's not your fault, he's just stating that the people voting in this comp went against the civic rule, or don't have a good eye for photography.

sl55kleeman's shot is very good. Well composed, well lit, its a very good angle and brings out the cars shape very nice, and Manik's shot is not far behind

Whats the civic rule, is he trying to say that people who voted for me dont have a good eye in photography?

Somewhat. The civic rule is when people vote for a boring picture of a Ferrari or something, just because it's a Ferrari. If you put a Honda Civic in it's place, it'd get no votes, that's the Civic Rule in a nutshell.

basically every car photo comp in that last year or so has been against the civic rule, its stupid, i think im just not entering anymore, because even if i did win it would be because of the car in it, people at this particular forum are very price centric in this competition, ive very rarely seen a picture of an ordinary car entered, or if it was, never have i seen one win, usually the winner is a boring drab exotic


like xar's (no offense here man) its pretty boring, i would bet the main reason it has 10 votes is because "oooo wow looky a birdcage im voting for HIM!"

[endrant/]the pic is still very good though, just because it has that car, doesnt mean it cant be a bad pic

Sad but true.

I think that rebirth's pic had great contrast between the show room and the city, it would have gotten my vote if it was a civic.

if he had more light on the city area, less on the showroom, and didnt have that giant wall in the middle (i.e. took the picture head on) i would havevoted for him

You forgot it comes down to personal "eye".
To me slk55's and Manik's were superb.

I see what you guys mean about the civic rule, but I tried to not only get a clear and crisp shot but i also tried my best with the composition. Its not a random shot of a car at a show or parked in a lot, sure its a showroom shot but i tried to give it a taste of NYC but shooting it in that specific angle with the Metlife/Grand Central building in the background (thats why the wall was in the middle of the shot).

Xar has a nice pic but it's not composed perfectly. The big problem I noticed with Xar's is that the whole thing just seems tilted too much;were the whole picture flat with Park Avenue, it would've probably gotten my vote.

Manik and sl55kman, I'm not discounting your photos, but there are much better photos in this competition, and it seems that people are simply voting for the 'wow, look, Porsche' factor.
