Rolling shots are nice, but are fawned over too much.

Get8Up and 98 WS6 both have great shots, but the others are lackluster IMHO. The Vette's rolling shot could be awesome, but the front end of that car is filthy. All of that can be spot cloned in Lightroom or Photoshop in 5 minutes. More to a digital photography than the capture itself.

59Camaro's is just a snapshot with a girl in it...This is picture of the month, not nicest car of the month. (He's the winner there.)

LS1BLKSS' shot is both blown out in the highlights and underexposed on the car.

Anyways, either of the last two deserve the win, but Get8Up's is actually a well-done roller! Nice job.

I agree... Nothing personal to 59Camaro, but that picture has a date stamp on it. Pictures with datestamps are not great pictures. The car looks amazing, and the girl is nice, but not that great of a picture.

How the hell dose out of focus pictures make it in to a Picture of the month voting thread.

This whole picture of the month thing has lost the original idea of best Picture, niot best car or most hot girl leaning on a car. Come on mods...

well said....and thank u for the compliment. i dont think my pic was the best pic of the month at all and i agree with u, the pic of the month can be of a plain old stock Z/28 but if the pic looks nice it should deserve to win....i understand what u said. thanks

All of them are great cars themselves but i voted for get8up for the best pic.

Too bad my pic didnt make it, its cool though, lol.

Also, i thought the girl in 59 Camaro's pic was topless at first glace but I then realized it was just her rib cage. I'm sure with clothes on shes great looking but with clothes off too bony for me. Just personal preference.

Might want to keep those opinions to yourself to avoid arguments. That's not what this thread is about.

man only 14 votes. if you guys could only understand the hell I had to go through to get that shot and edit it. As far the dirty front I know, but it wasn't a photoshoot pic, just a rig practice shot.

Looks like for next month's entry I am going to have to pull out the big guns...

Your's was a close second for me, but I am kind of biased towards the one I voted for. Otherwise it would have been yours.

If you don't mind a suggestion, maybe back the length out just a bit so you can see more of the car. Then it would really look good.
