Just to be sure, that DBS photo (week 25 winner) is a real location or it is to express loneliness? :confused:

[T1M]

It looks like Monaco to me so I guess real world location.

[Milli]

Monaco has a drop right after the tunnel. :susp:

[T1M]

It has a slight drop after the tunnel afaik. :hmmm:

[The Compensator]

The track is called French Riviera and it is slightly different to the original Monaco track.

[Milli]

Fictional then? So, i guess it is meant to express loneliness. By the way, both cases, i think it deserves a big facepalm, and just proves how people here vote on "pretty pictures" instead vote in the ones that express the theme better. :lol:

[superhyper]

^I think that in this contest, voting for the prettiest image is just normal. If we voted for the images that are only good in expressing the theme, all winners would be like this:

 

 

It's a whole different deal in contests like CMotM where you vote fore the best car and the pretty images shouldn't matter.

[Milli]

Right, take a picture of an Aston all the time. And vote on it. After all, what matters is the prettiest image.

 

My forest image was a fail, i agree, (it looked better in videogame, when i put in computer, i got a bit disappointed).

 

And once again, you can make a pretty image following the rules. I picked the loneliness theme to really see who here can express an idea correctly in a 2d form and who can regognize. Was a hard theme, i know, but well... still being lame.

 

Just an example, take a photo of that foggy Nurburgring in FM4... where the focus is the area, not the car. See what i mean?

 

Edit: The DBS photo, the main focus is the car, you simple can't feel a loneliness from that image.

[Soundwave]

[superhyper]

Yes, you can take a pretty image within the theme, but you said that people vote for "pretty images" when they should vote for ones that catch the theme the best. People often tend to like the "pretty photos" and then we suddenly should vote for something else than our favourites aka the pictures that we think deserve the votes? :hmmm:

 

And about your definition of loneliness:

(No offense, I just don't understand it the way you do :lol:)

[TDUFREAK500]

bahahahahahahaha

 

btw the DBS is all by itself and the background is an empty open sea as far as i am concerned that seems like one damn lonely DBS

[Milli]

Loneliness

 

This image has good points. Lack of color, open area, foggy weather, cold, sad and normally a small person, distance, far away. Just apply that in a game/car photo. There you go. Not hard, and can end with some pretty pictures.

 

Is it more clear to you how to express loneliness in 2D form?

 

Edit: Soundwave's entry for "water" is a much better example of loneliness than that DBS. :lol:

[TDUFREAK500]

that is only one way to do it milli you aren't always right just give up on this one

[Milli]

Well, learn how to express a text in one image, later we talk, ok?

[superhyper]

That's quite specific tbf, some of those aspects could better express melancholy BUT it's your theme after all - though you could have been more specific if you thought about your theme that way. :hmmm:

[TDUFREAK500]

I will just leave this here

Loneliness and melancholy walk side-by-side.

 

This is another example.

You don't even know what means melancholy and wants to know about which image shows loneliness? :lol: You make me laugh kid... good luck with your smartness! Will lead you to a bright future, as i can see. Lol

Go to hell Woman you are the devil

 

this is exactly the reason i hate you, you always have to be right and then you go and insult me for no reason

 

so btw mixing the definition of one word up means someone is dumb. mmmmmk then

 

and I think I know more about loneliness than you realise.
