Some folks brought their A game this month. Some great pics!

Rick Hunter · 04-26-2011, 09:44 AM

Dubbedown, perhaps you could invite the rest of the Bimmerpost crowd to this thread so that there may be more votes on the contest. More votes = better statistical significance?

Love seeing the Laguna pics

I miss that track

k2pilot · 04-27-2011, 02:16 PM

It's was a tough choice for me between rick and cmark, laguna seca is just so compelling. However ricks is the best from a photography standpoint.

r4gs · 04-27-2011, 09:06 PM

every month i try and up my own ante, and every month it's still a whitewash!

also thinking between mfan and rick....

VinnieAces · 04-27-2011, 09:36 PM

damn ppl r getting serious about this lil competition lol

Rick Hunter · 04-27-2011, 10:38 PM

Well... if you want the competition to be serious, the polls need to be blinded so as not to induce visual vote bias. Additionally there needs to be a big pool of voters to prevent popularity bias.

That being said... vote for me!

mfanatic325 · 04-27-2011, 11:40 PM

Hahaha why so seriousssssS
I voted for you Rick =]

3002 tii · 04-30-2011, 09:34 AM

Same subject, different composure. And I thought we were voting on best photo!

Sorry it's what happens when you ask for a photographers opinion

Haha thanks!!!

The other Zed forum went through a few revisions to their monthly contest in order to get it to a point where nobody could complain of unfairness with the voting system. It's a pretty nice model to follow in case there are any who are concerned about external bias. LINKY

Congrats to you for the win, mfanatic325

v3.0si · 04-30-2011, 10:59 PM

there have been some stellar shots these last few months from everyone! it's hard to chose! someday i'll be brave enough for peer grading on my own shots, but until then... keep 'em coming!

great job, everyone!
