i think i may have voted for all of those before...

damn it this is hard!

Finnegan · 12-02-2011, 05:28 PM

It's really had to choose! Here goes!

claritycheck · 12-02-2011, 06:00 PM

Giving this one to JBS. That shot deserves to be immortalized into a BMW poster of some sort.

Seriously, what are the chances you could get us members a few hard copies? I'd love to have one of these in my garage.

yellowmasta · 12-02-2011, 06:59 PM

Wow.....jbs, I agree with e for effort. You've got my vote for damn sure!

txz4 · 12-02-2011, 10:50 PM

3002 tii · 12-04-2011, 07:47 PM

claritycheck · 12-06-2011, 06:43 PM

I'm not surprised. The lighting is simply wonderful, as is the color and angle. If you had that color, lighting, and angle--but with a better background--it would be be simply jaw-dropping.

It looks like we do have JBS pulling away from what has been a very close race!

claritycheck · 12-06-2011, 07:02 PM

Thanks Fin! I would have went out to a better location, but it was late and didn't want to wake the neighbors with the RPi's on cold start lol.

Loogey Clapp · 12-07-2011, 11:53 AM

Every month this is getting harder and harder. I opted to go with tekmoe. The color and lighting is just awesome. Thing is I had a hard time picking which of the two!! I think the cloud formation in the 2nd one sealed it for me though.

Nikki · 12-07-2011, 12:47 PM

Wow some awesome shots!!! My vote goes to jbs, despite his lacking efforts to photograph my car.

Unrelated, but I never knew why that photo of mine was such crappy quality in the poll....I have it posted elsewhere in a higher res:

tekmoe · 12-07-2011, 12:58 PM

Didn't even realize two of my pictures were in the contest. Thanks for the votes, everyone!

Jbs · 12-07-2011, 07:08 PM

Wow thanks for the compliments, guys!!

I can mail out prints of any of my pictures and will upload whatever shots you find in desktop (1920x1080) size. Look through my flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/jbsoxb) and tell me if you want any in desktop size or etc!

Nikki, give me a time (i leave to london on the 21st, but before/after that trip), i would always love to shoot your car! literally have so many ideas haha, just last time i saw your car i only had my iphone!
