CR, Help me pick a picture (vote inside)

[bmwohio]

Thanks in advance for your help, CR.

 

This is a shot from Nationals this year, and I was going to do an 8x10, 11x14 or a 9x20 pic (for the one option) to frame and put up in the new house.

 

Just curious what you guys think of each. This is a hi-res shot, so won't be grainy.

 

Thanks for your input!

Didn't have the heart to point it out publicly, since he was helping me. You're such an asshole, Clay!

[Sully]

No offense, just being honest... The background really hurts my eyes with the blurriness. Is there any way that can be tamed down a bit?

[ImUrOBGYN]

I think #4.

No offense taken...don't mind constructive criticism at all. That's kind of the 'look'....not sure how i could dial it down. That's the RAW image....

Kale, can you do #4 with a black-and-white background? That would be my choice.

Here are the others I have to choose from. The one I posted kind of 'spoke to me' the most. Unless you guys think one of these others is a definite winner.

 

Thanks for all the input, guys.

 

Headed into the gym, so I'll check back in a bit.

Like this the best as well, or the full-color version (but only a little less). As has been pointed out already, the uncropped version of this just has too much sky, and by flattening it out, it makes it look like the car's got more room to run, rather than being boxed up

Definitely my favorite. :thumbup:

[-Alex-]

I voted #3, because it took focus away from the background, but after reading the comments I definitely like the "short and wide" version of #3.

Voted for #3, but definitely go with the new #3

[bmwohio]

Had a request from one of my friends for even less sky....thoughts?

I voted for 3 but this is what I was going to suggest.

#3 wins by a landslide. The rest are just.. pictures..

[Aaron]

I prefer the "more sky" version of the one I suggested.

Nah, you still need a little sky, otherwise (and especially in the b&w version) you're left to wonder if it's a nice, sunny day, or if the heavens are about to strike down upon thee. Having the sky also reinforces that this is a ground car having its way with the road, and not something you've just blasted out of a railgun through a tunnel.
