    Yes it was. I guess he was betrayed by his equipment. With a decent camera that would be a perfect shot. At list it demands more skills than shooting a standing F430.

    I see you voted for a standing Viper on a pic that in my opinion would be much better without any car at all. Obviously tastes differ

    Judging from your vote it's a matter of taste then. It looks like the Civic rule is not applied by you.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Maybe he loves Civics too much.

    when im vote for best pic, i consider colors, cars, angle's, everything same as you. What i don't like about your picture is how far away the car is ( cant really see it)...and how all the attention is focused on some random bike rider

    no need for anyone else to defend him, i am not attacking him, its called contructive criticism

    and as far as standing vs moving pics go, you cant say all moving pics are better than standing, or that standing takes no talent at all. I would go as far as saying taking a picture takes no "talent" at all. Almost every signle person in this world has the ability to see a car, point and shoot.

    It's an excellent photo, and I probably would've voted for it if it didn't break the rules (it was taken too long ago to be an entry). Sorry Rob

    Not all people can take a good picture of cars in movement. Almost everyone with a decent camera can take a gorgeous pic of a standing car.

    Pieter pic has a special significance. Read the story about how that event got to be named Tour Auto.

    The only thing I think it's worth of criticism is the focus. But that was camera's fault...

    Thats what happens when it's black and white.
    Here's another pic I took of it but in color tho.

    correct me if i'm wrong, but i seem to remember reading about this special competition allowing any photo from 2005, hence Henk's shot as well.

    edit: i just noticed that Henk's shot didn't have his date listed. it was actually taken April 30, 2005 (Tour Auto) as per the photo properties

    to clarify, as per the temporary rules of Comp #50:

    • Only the photographs taken since the start of the year *comp 50 temporary rules* are accepted.

    In my posting I described when the picture was taken and what it represents.... I assume everybody on this site knows exactly when the Tour Auto took place

    No offense but the picture winning isnt even a good picture. Nothing is in focus and just because its a cool car its winning. BS IMO.

    I like the B&W pic, IMO if that were a film camera shot it would not have been seen as any violation at all....it looks almost like a peek to the past...

    my shot imo is too dark...white color car messes with my camera's metering...
