btw.. i take 2 pics of my entry.. one regular shot so its on fm.net and one big shot that i actually enter (lines are crisper)

Damn that is a good TS pic. Lot of people were saying the same thing. I would have taken the big pic of the supra but I planned on using the 350Z so it got the big shot. Wonder if it would have made the difference.

what i also do is resize in photoshop to the size facebook converts it to.. that way they dont compress the file so much that it looks like garbage

Looks great. As soon as you said Ferrari I thought 599, but I think I'll go with the 458.
Two tentative picks.

I want to retake this one with more color. I accidentally entered photo mode before the smoke cleared and kind of like the dar feel to it. This one is currently in Big Shot mode, but that could change.

I wanted the car to kind of be floating by washing it out to where the pavement kind of blends with the sky. I achieved it a little more with another pic with the car in the same spot but painted chrome with a blue tint but I didnt upload it yet.

I think Im gonna hold out on submitting the pics for a bit to get something I really like. Also the waiting kinda blows. Haha

 

[eg6sir]

only have till the 7th

How do you resize it without losing too much quality. Photobucket wont even let me upload it in its original 24mb form so I saved it as a JPEG but that takes it al the way down to 1mb.

 

[double0Si]

A few more possibilities. I dont think Im gonna do anymore unless I randomly get inspired to. haha Which would you submit?

this^^

all i did was change mine to jpeg and use imageshack to upload original size

 

[double0Si]

That's the one I figured, just didn't know if the background came out well even in big photo mode. Still a little grainy. I'll try ImageShack then cause pb fails at large pics.

I ended up using dropbox. Actually lets me keep it in its huge form. Here it is.
Ferrari 330 P4

Edit: That forum is frustrating as hell. I posted the, well, post... And I went to refresh and make sure it was there. Nothing. I finally found how to search my previous posts. Nothing. I posted it again, clicked twice, got a duplicate post notification (so I figured it was there.) Nothing... Do posts need approval before they show or something?

404'd yo... dropbox didnt work for me.. doesnt actually post a viewable link.. posts a downloadable link

BTW, background shouldnt really matter.. focal point of this contest is Ferrari

 

[double0Si]

Yea I saw that. F'n weak. You know how I post the download? Imageshack doesnt work for me. Makes the pic tiny IF it even lets me upload it.

 

[eg6sir]

upload it to the public folder.... copy public link

 

[eg6sir]

oh yea. in case u didn't know.. u can buy just the 67 chevelle for 160 ms points in the forza marketplace

 

[double0Si]

Too late. I wanted the Raptor, Fiero, and possibly that Suzuki.

 

[double0Si]

[eg6sir]
