Thanx to everyone who voted for me.. heres to another controversial comp win..

I wonder if this would get any votes if it was a regular car and not a viper.

I Can see your point,
But do you walk around New York, searching for rare or special cars?
Thats effort, and maybee its not his job to take photographs of cars, but he does his best.

I think there very good.

It may be effort, but effort that does not result in exceptional pictures, but of course he is doing his best.

I can paint something, put in a lot of effort and it'll still be a bunch of crap; effort is not a criterium in judging something creative.

I know very little about photography, but i'd say it's a 50/50 split between subject matter and picture quality. Maybe I'm slightly biased, but which makes a greater photograph; a perfectly taken shot of a well framed supermarket, or an amateurish snap of the breathtaking views taken from the top of the Himalayas? I appreciate it's not a great analogy and I totally understand the point Wouter is making, but I think you see what I'm getting at.

i dont wanna come off as a hardass cuz i wasnt too nice in the last comp but im gonna say what i think anyways. i totally agree with what wouter and henk were saying and thats almost exactly what i was saying to someone else when he was winning the last comp. i dont think his picture is good at all, it is COMPLETELY the car. his picture was almost half blown out and the car doesn not stand out at all. i think it is entirely the fact that the car was what it is that won him the comp. and i will be a bit more annoyed if he wins this comp with that picture. i dont think it is good at all. it is blurred, distracted, and just not a very good picture. it really has become a 'spot the best car you can and get some image of it' competition. of course you need to have somewhat of a photogenic car in your picture, but a skilled and quality picture should win over a crappy shot of a better car.
