JD's got my vote, I was just editing my piece but could'nt make it in time. :(

[Maxamillious]

Dan’s was definitely the coolest. The red mixed in on the gray scale looks fantastic. :)

[IntaminFan007]

I picked Dan--although all of them were not what I had expected them to be

[disneylhand]

Where's the 'original' option? That's probably the one I'd choose...

^^ ^Oh thank you for the kind words. You do realize the time we put into these... Sometimes its not the fanciest entry but as long as I like it, I'm fine. And you know what? Sometimes I won't even want to post my entry because after attempting the contest so many times over the years ive not only never won, ill rarly even get a vote. Hell, on the old RCPro i even said that i wouldnt do it anymore, but after skipping a couple rounds i got back into it. Now why did i do that? Because while i might not win, ill still have fun atleast making the entry.


Now, if you care to know I voted DZ.

[Michael]

^ Way to go JD, we need to here more positive things like this around here. This is what keeps us going. It's not for winning, this is for fun. And if you guys don't like the entries, then you didn't have to post in this thread :p

I'm glad to here that from you JD, and I voted for your entry BTW, very cool effect :cool:

I've never put it in, but I will in the future if you want.

[JD71]

Dan, I never want to see that option availible.
Pretty much what happened above. Someone will be negative and say that nobody did a good job, which puts every contestant in a bad mood. Morale lowers, and the fun is sucked out.

Pretty much a giant "You suck" to everybody. Dan, you put in an entry, you know that its not an easy thing to do.

I do not want to see little pricks going around saying that our efforts are fruitless.

[Jake]

^ Amen, I agree 100%.

Everyone did a good job, but I voted for Dan's edit in the end. I really like the text for some reason, it has a cool effect.

[Renegade]

I didn't get around this time. Next round I will be able to do it (I hope).

But I do agree, no one gets my vote.

DZ: just used a couple of effects, then slapped on some text.
Comet: pretty much looks like a B/W with a little coloring effects.
JD71: Good, but still simple. Waves with added lights in the head lights.
Dan: I don't know what effect that is, but it still is simple.

I'm sure everyone could do better. Just gotta put some effort into it.

[JD71]

I guess its my curse, in a way. Alot of my entries look simple, when their actually incredibly complex.

Come on, I dare you to recreate my entry using the original, you wont. Naw, you don't have to. Just saying, I'm looking through my past entries, and I recall everything I've done to them, but it looks like I just did click click done on some of them.

Seriously, I spent 2 hours on my edit this round, I put alot of work into what you see there.

Now, I'm not saying you have to like it, I'm just saying you're not seeing how much time, work, and love I put into my entries.

As I always say, before complaining, find a soulution :)

The solution to your problem, you should have entered your own if you found none that were good. It's that simple. Why even create a post like that? Because unlike you and I, they actually put the time into creating these, so there's no room for us to complain.

I actually was pleseantly surprised at all of the edits. I really liked all of them, just that JD got my vote. I thought his was the most thought out. Keep this going, it's a great contest :cool:

Could you give me a tutorial on the proper way to add text?

[3xinvert]

JD got me. I love the logo effect in the bottom corner-makes it look SO much cooler that way...it's not just a text writing (no offense guys).

And the green effect. That was awesome-how'd you do that? (I don't have a photo-editing program...got make the best I can with MS Paint...RRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!:mad:)

[Michael]

^Then you should try out the Photoshop CS3 trial, it's on their website... :cool:

[thedeadfrog]

As a freind of JD's. I personaly didn't much like his edit.
Seemed too...pixely to me? I mean, the lighting was cool, but the overall layer wasn't spectacular. Nice job though

-Drop Zone- got my vote, it just felt like it popped out at me, regardless of what you "Pro's" say is easy editing.
I disliked where you put "Thorpe Park" though, could have done without it.

This contest isn't about who does the most work, it's about who does the best.

Also: the reason I didn't enter was because right when i had finished the editing, it froze and didn't save -.-

[The Storm Runner]

My vote went to Comet, this time. I thought his was classic and went well with the retro car theme. :)

[JD71]

Voting is ovah, and the winner is your truly.

A big thank you to everyone who voted for me, and another thank you to everyone who even voted. Another thanks to the entrants.

Seeing the results, it was a close one, I'm actually gald everyone got so many votes. If I had gotten last, but still had 3 votes, I'd be damn pleased with myself for getting those 3 votes.

To be honest, this has been one of my fav rounds to date. :)
