The July 2013 Photo Competition - COMMENTS

I'm only upset because that's probably my best/only chance of winning a competition gone :x 8)
 
Not a Z4 owner now, but my proposal would be:

One entry per person
The car in the picture must be a Z4
Please make images < 1024 width
Photos must be unique (i.e. no re-submissions)
Photoshop alterations ARE allowed in general. There may be months where we have a non-photoshop comp though, so watch out.
 
+1 I agree with the breaker.

The no re-submission rule is a good one. Countless re-submissions, if it doesn't win the first time it wont probably wont a second.

I doubt it Ste your a good photographer! Made my Z look pretty pimp :thumbsup:

I think as long as it is a Z4 and you took the pic does it really matter? Also means other Z members who havent bought there car yet but are long time members can join in. Otherwise month after month we see the same cars, especially in the summer months where there are a lot of meets different people see different owners cars in a new light.

Its all about having fun and not taking it too seriously and the above removal in my mind is a bit petty.

If this is the case I think mine should be removed too.
 
Bill you can't set rules and then allow them to be disregarded.
Sorry but (and you know this isn't personal to anyone) just because some people want to submit pictures that break said rules then the rules should be changed to accommodate the few?

The photo comp is about taking pics of your zed isn't it? Or have I got it wrong?
 
Thats fair enough, but both mine and Ste are of Zs and ones we enjoy. I didn't put mine in because im sure everyone is sick of seeing it. But im a photographer so... Its in me to put a pic in the comp lol!

its not like the rules are being disregarded, they have been enforced. But I think they can be improved.

Your correct except that the current rules were set by Jim (sp3ctre). If there is a lot of support to modify the rules I'm sure Jim would consider that which is why I asked for suggested changes and we will see what happens.
 
I don't want anyone to think I'm being personal. I'm absolutely not. I say this with a big kiss at the end of the sentence!
Maybe you should put it to the vote?
Us amateurs find it hard enough as it is to get votes without the competition opening up further.
A vote is the fair way of deciding and the majority opinion will rule?
 
Got to be honest - this needs to be fair - we can't have some entries withdrawn and others allowed to stand- my entry contains other Zeds as well as my own - If this breaks the rules mine should go as well we need a level playing field on this. Personally a picture of another members Zed taken at a national meet should be OK shouldn't it?

Perhaps we can change the rules for the months of big meets The National and Silverstone? The way we have done for themes and photoshopping.

Looking forward to seeing your photo in the 2013 Calander though Ste!
 
Yes exactly, either Ste's pic needs to be put back in or all the others need to be removed too.

I can't stand unfairness, one of my pet gripes!
 
I think that the issue is so minor I dont really understand why people have an issue.

Its a Z, if it were a different make fair... I mean Feb 2012 winner was taken by his son so... We've also had porsches in the comps all sorts!

Everyones sick of seeing T100 SCT haha! Get it out the comp lol!
 
Have you not seen recently introduced clause 13.1 pictures of silver grey coupes in Cumbria are not allowed ?
