Stratos: Borders are not allowed.

Would've voted for RacingManics, but those 2 people really distract my eyes, otherwise, sublime shot.

oreshow's jump shot is spectacular, but Rasmus catching the touchdown has it all over it for me.

My votes would've gone like this: Corvette C6-R / Acura / Opel .. and here are my reasons why and why not


The acura and corvette aren't bad [i'm probably going to say that about every single photo, because none of them are bad, but they could all use improvement].. anyways:

They [corvette/acura] are great on-track photos; I like the corvette in pit-row the best though. Even with a lot going on in the background and foreground, there is a distinct focus to the photo; nothing to really distract the viewer; only thing that is lacking here is the sharpness of the corvette. That would be the only advantage i see, that the Acura has here, its a sharper photo than the Corvette is; either due to focal-length or due to acceleration of the vehicles. In any case, i still feel that the Corvette shot is the strongest shot of the competition; next time dont use a wide-angle, illu!

The nurburgring would be a good one.. if the plant in the foreground wasnt what the camera focused on. If the vehicle [whatever it is] was in focus; it would've been a great shot, and up for contention with my top three.

the 40 ford wouldnt be bad either; but its a really awkward shot, with the focus being the tall angular nose, and the woody-body being abruptly cut off - I want to see more of the body, here.

The P2 is blurry, like the subaru photo; if they were sharper in contrast, i may have actually voted for the Subie - but i've seen thousands of photos of the Subaru guys flying thier cars. I'd like to see it somewhere else [on the road] for a change.

The porsche isnt moving; but has great contrast [except for the guy drinking coke in the background]; however, it doesn't do the trick for me; if i were strictly a Porsche enthusiast, i would've voted here. However, I'm not.

the Ford [focus] is okay; but it would've been better if you could see the whole car.

the Opel is a good shot because it is just a unique angle, but not awkward, like the Ford; this is a strong third-place photo. It pulls your attention like the Corvette shot does, but it is a bit blurry; had the shot been cleaner [sharper]. it would've taken second [IMO]

The last Porsche isnt bad either; but i would've liked to see more of the road; and less flowers. The flowers pull too much attention, and the Porsche doesnt pull enough. My eye goes to the purple weed in the foreground; despite the lack of focus. Its the color that draws the eye, here. Humans see color; then shape; then detail, always remember that when taking a photo.

The caddy; looks like a point & shoot from the street; nothing really unique about it to set it apart from the rest of the photos.

The Ferrari is a decent angle, but there's nothing there that actually pulls me in and gets me to look at that one above the rest of the competition. Like the Porsche, If I were a Ferrari enthusiast, I would probably vote here; but I'm not strictly a Ferrari lover either.

They're all good photos; but they could all use improvement.

So Waugh-terfall, tell me: is your camera damaged or is there a photoshop touch on your pic?

Thank you!

No, it's intensionally 'Brutally' overexposed. I don't have Photoshop anyway
