My two favorite photos of the bunch are mfanatics and nrgenuiz (the voters also seem to agree with this).

The lighting in mfanatics picture tricks the eye. We are used to seeing light from one direction, especially when the picture is shot outside using the sun as the main light source. However, with the use of the strobes on the driver side of the car, it causes a very interesting effect. I like it a lot.

nrgeniuz captured his car with an incredible background. I'm not sure what the net is, I'm guessing this was taken at an airport hangar? Regardless, the angle of the shot really makes for a nice picture to look at. Had you used a strobe of some sort to light up the drivers side of the car, similar to what mfanatic did, I think you would have shut this contest down!

really shows it's not so much the car, but the eye of the photographer. sorta encouraging for those whose cars aren't heavily modified

i'm really feeling mfanatic and nrgeniuz as well. also like roffle's alot, could totally see that as my desktop pic. can't wait for the action shots in april =P

But I suggest care in selecting the topic. For example, a "track photos" theme may be a bit restrictive. I have no desire to track my car, nor do I have access to a track. A more general heading, such as "action shots" would allow the track enthusiasts - and the rest of us to submit photos for that month's contest.

Now if you ever have a contest for "best pic of a car at a rocky beach scene with an iceberg floating majestically in the background", I'll probably score highly there!

Allons-Y!
Or how about a theme that goes something like : "Best pic of a car outside the SuperBowl 45 stadium". I might be able to score highly in that category, too.

Topics for the photo contest

Maybe in a future month you could have pics of the new APR air splitter almost everyone is getting.

wondering if it's a color calibration issue for my shot, at my work computer it looks too 'warm' colored. haven't yet cast my vote but will do so before the end of the poll. going to be using a proper slr this weekend with much better scenery. please don't rain!

I think one reason I like shorestyle's pic is that it's the only time the hood on our car doesn't look as long, and more wide if anything. Don't get me wrong, I like the lines of our car but it's just a new perspective not typically seen.

Btw guys, do you think 7 days is too long for voting? Don't want this to drag out either... maybe 5 days?

I think that is fiine - some folks maybe can only get on pages during nights or weekends - gives everyone time if it's 7 days
