Default PHOTO OF THE MONTH SEPTEMBER SUBMISSIONS

Before showing the pics, I'd like to remember you we changed the way to decide the winner since this month. Just testing if it will work out, but I am sure it will, and it's a better solution, even if some of the laziest ones will stop voting because it will take some more time.

Here is what to do:

You have to select your fav FOUR pics and assign points. The point system is as follows:

fav pic: 5 pts
second pic: 3 pts
third: 2 pts
fourth: 1 pt

Please, your fav pic on top, 4th one at the bottom of the short list.


Also, if you want, please, explain your choices

And may the best win

1 : stmoritzer, Aston Martin Vanquish 5pts . Certainly because I love the colour combo and the pic is clean.
2 : salegosse, Opel Speedster and Mazda RX7 3 pts. I love the lights and ambiance, even more than stmoritzer submission but the featured cars are not really as interesting. With a Ferrari or another BIG badge it would be my favorite.
3 : dingo, Aston Martin AMV8 2 pts. Nice lights and nice car.
4 : sameerrao, Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster 1 pt . I don't really like the background but the car and the colour are beautiful.

It was once again difficult to make a choice and I was tempted by some Veyrons but ... we have to choose a winner
Good work mates !!

TT, the link says to start with 6 points for the best pic, down to 1 for the 6th pic. The instruction on this page are like last month, 5 points, 3, 2, 1 for the last pic. Which way? Here are my top 6 choices, and if you're doing the 5, 3, 2, 1, just chose the top 4 and assign the point accordingly.

6- Smylait; Bugatti Veyron
This is my favorite this month. I love the angle. It looks so futuristic and foreign from the back, like nothing else on the market right now. Excellent picture!

5 - Sameerrao, Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster
I love Lambos. I love the color. I love the winglets on the car. It's the boyracer in me...

4 - Dani d Mas, Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06R
I like this picture for its simplicity. The machine and the track.

3 - Eurocopter, Wiesemann GT
This is an interesting picture. I don't recognize the car, but the fact that it's running under water looks pretty cool.

2- Dingo, Aston Martin AMV8
I like the rake on this car. I think it sits really nicely. The backdrop of what appears to be a dealership makes me want to go window shopping for exotics.

1- Carrera_GTCrazy, Audi RS4 B7
I like the contrast of the new car and the graffitti (sp?).

Great Job Everyone!

2nd: sameerrao, Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster ~ again that is where i would picture the car, in some back lot at a studio etc. just a great shot, with a beautiful car. good job.

3rd: bloeb, BMW E63 M6 ~ I have never seen a car look so mean before :shock: very very good shot

4th: Harryo2b. Porsche 987 Boxster ~ a match made in heaven. the comp could of been better but subject matter is perfect. very clear and clean.

5pts - Carrera_GTCrazy - It's obvious...

3pts - dani_d_mas - I think there were a few even better shots you took during that event (especially the ones from behing the wired fence) but this is also a nice choice.

2 pts - Titanboy_24 - Good still shot, gives the car a lot of class.

1pt - sameerrao - Rare colour for the Murci plus it has the top down

1 - 5 pts - Carrera_GTCrazy, Audi RS4
2 - 3 pts - Dani, C6R
3 - 2 pts - eurocopter, Wiesemann GT
4 - 1 pt - 80ssportlover, Bugatti Veyron


All of them are really nice pics though, really tough choices but I had to give the most points to the RS4 because it combines a lot of what I like in one nice picture; art, RS4 and a nice photo (looks like an ad).

I confirm we are just voting the first 4 pics: 5 - 3 - 2 - 1

And my votes are like this:

5 pt - Titanboy_24 - beautiful: a pit lane, a low and cloudy sky and the car is a spider makes for a nice postcard!
3 pt - sameerrao - the pic is supersharp, the Murci is well placed and the background is a bit weird, like a forgotten shed near a raceway, i like the final result and the fact the muci is a rare color, is even better!
2 pt - Carrera_GTCrazy - must be crazy not to vote for tis shot. IMO the RS4 is much better from a pure 3/4 rather than this angle which is somewhere between a 3/4 and a side pic, but the setting is superb anyway and well executed
1 pt - eurocopter - nice action shot, as simple as that.
