I think not resizing in Paint would be a good improvement too :)

Well the jpeg compression is really high...Typical for Paint.. Just look at the edges around the biker.. :o

[Cotterik]

[furious_fiero]

sorry I dont have a resizing program. I might try to download one and fix the picture with a better quality one. Am I allowed to do that?

[70cuda88]

give me the original, ill fix it

[furious_fiero]

original... http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/9461/img4924ta0.jpg

a 2nd attempt with a new program at editing it... http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6599/image1su2.jpg

wow comparing to my submission I can really see how many resizes in paint effected my pic.

[70cuda88]

try this...

mine is up to specs (800x600)

[furious_fiero]

try this...

thanks!

Am I allowed to replace my photo with that?

[70cuda88]

yeah, just edit your post with that, noone even uses the pictures until the deadline, so you have until then to replace it

[furious_fiero]

Thank you.

I didnt realize I could use motorbike pics for the automotive competition. So Im gonna move my motorbike pic over to automotive and put up a different pic here.

[70cuda88]

lol, dont do that, youll get yelled at, someone can explain

[clutch-monkey]

Thank you.

i ddin't think you can?

Only cars photographs may be entered in the automotive competition. Bikes, boats and trucks are to be entered in the general photo competition.

[furious_fiero]

The person who won the last automotive comp was using a motorbike pic....???

[furious_fiero]

ok nevermind...to make it less hassle...I will move it back over here. Sorry.

There was a debate regarding this, and it was decided that the automotive comp should be for strictly cars. Thus motorcycle photos are now only allowed in the General competition.

oooo creepy

[drakkie]

A pity of the lights and the weird light lines left to the guy. It really ruins a otherwise nice picture IMO..

[Cotterik]

Voting threads arent up yet? If Piacki is away or unable to post them then I'll put up the threads at about 6pm GMT. If anyone else is willing to do it before then, go ahead :)

[ScionDriver]

A pity of the lights and the weird light lines left to the guy. It really ruins a otherwise nice picture IMO..

It was snowing pretty hard, and blowing pretty bad so by the time I snapped this one off (I took probably half a dozen total) there was some snow on the lens and then the exposure time just caught all the flakes going through the light to cause the weird lines.

The guy in it is actually me. I used a buddies tripod and the cameras timer, I like using myself as a model.;)

[my porsche]

The "weird lines" are more than likely flare caused by having a light shining into the lens.

[furious_fiero]

When does voting start?

[drakkie]

When does voting start?

Shouldn't be too long.. If I'd have the time to put it up, it would be. But for now im back to 3DCAD desinging a suspension..

[Sledgehammer]

Ive been away for awhile, thought I would throw this in quick. Yes its past deadline, but votings not up yet.
