20ducks, right on! All of these photo's this month are winners. It was very tough to make a decision and vote. Had to get very picky and consider Roadster vs. Coupe, background, clarity of photo, # of vehicles in photo, lighting, angle. They are all awesome, but I finally made a decision and just voted (enie, menie, miney, moe method).
 
I don't understand hiding the voting information. You can't see the results until after you vote. So what's the point?

Nobody would vote until the last moment it would be like an auction on the bay fleas everybody trying to influence the final result.

I think everybody should have 3 votes.
 
I still don't understand. You still couldn't see the results until after you've voted. So even if you wait, I don't think you could be influenced. One thing that may happen is people commenting on who has the lead. At which time you'll know before voting.

The best way I've seen these polls handled is that they are locked. So that way someone couldn't comment and influence the voting results before you cast your vote. Also I imagine it would be easier for the admin to execute this function instead of hiding the voting results all together.
 
561design if you're not logged in you can see the results of the poll, you only can't seem them if you're logged in and haven't voted yet.

Yup, absolutely correct.

Damn... imagine if we could see national election results the second after we voted... that would be interesting. :evil:
 
I'll be honest...


I didn't vote for myself :roll:
So many more pics better than mine. Just wait till next month! I'll get you!
 
Lots of very shiney pics ,some real picture post cards but it was Rama who got my vote , a proper action shot and just that bit different..now my wallpaper ...if you don't mind
 
Born2slow got mine...that seagrass gently blowing in the wind with the Z parked against it in the opposite direction - going against the grain, which is what the Z says to me...*sigh*...reminded me of Bob Segar's "Against the Wind" song. Oh yea, and those wheels. Those beautiful, gorgeous wheels...I think I'm in love :wub:
 
I didn't vote for me :D

...and to answer Gauss, yes, Photoshop will be back next month. I have had more requests to allow it than I did to disallow it, the people have spoken :D

Seriously though, I want to please everyone here, so some months will be photoshop free and some months not... and judging by the amount of entries this month I think we might have the odd "theme month"... night shots, for example... what do you think? (or would that be better run as a separate comp?)
 
I think the theme month is a good idea, as long as they are attainable by most. Would push a lot of us to learn how to be a better photographer and eventually get more enjoyment out of it :thumbsup:
 
yeah, I was thinking of things like night time shots because everyone can do that... snow or sea are more difficult for some people.

Will see, I might run it as a separate comp fir the first time, just to see what takeup we get.

It looks like I'm going to have to face facts no one is going to vote for my photograph. :sick2:

I can now see why my photo didn't appeal.

The Z3 was a secondary element in the composition. Consequently it was unsepific, it didn't dominate the landscape I was trying to say too many personal things: about the time of day, the location and the weather all of which confused the photo.

Am I going to submit next month? :scratchhead: I don't know, at the moment I'm not quite sure where to go with it. I would certainly like to, but only if I can improve on what I have achieved so far. I might wait and see what the mods come up with. :D

I'm glad I took part and I've enjoyed the whole process. :thumbsup:
