um Septro... i think you jumped the gun by a full week buddy.

it says July 10th

Septro · 07-04-2009, 02:55 AM

wow its been a long week. That's what I get for working 48hours straight.

We'll there is like 26 submissions already - Anyone have significant beef with cutting this contest early?? I can delete the poll thread if so.

UdubBadger · 07-04-2009, 02:56 AM

I'd say give it its due time... why not. We might not see anymore submissions but there is always the possibility that people we're still deciding what to submit.

or look how you slipped into the last one at the last minute with the best pic... I say we stick to the date already posted (10th) and see what happens

Septro · 07-04-2009, 02:57 AM

no sweat.. man that was a lot work lol - now to figure out how to delete it

you should keep the tab open for a week if you can and just copy/paste or maybe save it as a word document or something

Septro · 07-04-2009, 03:01 AM

I already had it in a text file but can't see how to delete the voting thread

BMW F22 · 07-04-2009, 03:09 AM

Lol I was gonna change my submission but saw the poll so I voted. Now I'm confused as of what I wanna do. Either way we could give it a few more days (or stick to the set date) and see. If everyone's cool we can just keep the poll thread. I don't really care either way.

Septro · 07-04-2009, 03:11 AM

I submitted a request to the mods to close the poll thread - someone maybe working some Black and White magic this weekend for a sleeper submission.

I'm off to sleep as I obviously need it.

Septro · 07-04-2009, 04:59 PM

Yay! poll was removed.. back to submitting pics!

UdubBadger · 07-04-2009, 05:01 PM

too funny....

c0nstant · 07-04-2009, 05:04 PM

lol

lul77 · 07-04-2009, 06:45 PM

this is my submission.... its the same pic but i wanted to show it vertically flipped too. it kinda works both ways. really don't expect to win but i kinda thought it'd be fun to try putting something together for this contest.

idk.... guess i'll call it: "inverse reflection of urban speed"

flipped

btw this was my first try at black and white sooo advice would be welcome.... maybe through pm bc i don't wanna spam the contest w/ off topic tips for me

UdubBadger · 07-04-2009, 07:29 PM

pretty cool flipped...

dcstep · 07-04-2009, 08:48 PM

in BW, I really think simplicity is one of the keys. It is great picture no doubt, but not too sure what your picture is trying to show or I cant even find a focal point in the picture. Is it the reflection, the car, the wall graffiti or? I also think it is a little over-processed too.

Last contest winner's pic I really like. Its natural with very little processing and thats what photos should be IMO and not overprocessed.
Just my 2 cents.
