- We will not consider low quality images or images in clustered areas.

Seems pretty clear, but there have been a number of "bending" the rules in these contests. When someone points it out they get attacked by others.

I can only imagine what the reaction would have been if someone told an entry that thier pictures were "low quality images or images in clustered areas" They would have been treated like they were stealing from children.

But wouldn't that "completeness" also mean setting also? If you're gonna go to all the trouble to detail your car its not that hard to find a setting other than a driveway or a garage.

If you don't like the 'settings', then don't vote for that submission.
If ya don't like what you see, don't vote for it. Seems pretty simple.

You bet.....by why make it mandatory????

Besides some people have veery impressive drive ways. Mine is about 1 mile long through manicured lawns and shrubs.....



















Kidding.....

Guess I will never submitt NEMO!

Jonel made the rule, we didn't. So as a mod are you saying the rule means nothing to you? That setting doesn't matter? From Jonels response above, it seems to matter to him.

This is what I mean be people copping attitudes when anyone says anything to point out a fact or isn't being what they think is "nice". This is just a childish response. Even though NEMO would make a fine Featured HHR.

Like Deb said, anyone can just step out their door and take a few pics. What's so special about that? If Jonel wanted the most modded or nicest paint or anything like that he could just choose and then people who haven't done much to their HHR would never have a chance. But you put a clean stock HHR in a beautiful setting and get some nice shots.......then you have something special. I may be wrong, but I think that's what Jonel had in mind.

But like I say in my sig, I am often wrong!:thumb:

As I said in another thread: no grassy nolls, no mountains, no hills, no river beds, etc. In Fl we have none of them to take pics to appease these rules. At least where I am. That is all that I ment not childish just being reasonable.
Maybe I should not have stated anything, but other have stated worse.
But to slam the HHR of the month and to say that you need a better pic,.......
This is where I am coming from. No one should be allowed to post in the HHR of the month till it meets with the Admin and Mods this way it will not be slammed after the fact. Done with the matter on both threads.
I mean no disrespect to all.

Karen has a good point about "meeting with the Admin and Mods. Maybe a compromise is in order - submit your entry directly to them and they can list the HHRs that make the cut for month so that we can decide on them.

If we make it a rule that you have to take beautiful scenic pics of your HHR I don't think we'll have many submissions. ;) I'm pretty sure most of us aren't going to trek halfway around our state just to take pics for a meaningless prize on a small forum. :lol: Some of us don't have the photographic skill or equipment either. ;) What else are we going to find to bi*ch about when it comes to ride of the month contest? :confused: You don't actually own the HHR, your pics aren't pretty enough, you're not old enough, you have sponsors. :roll: Every F'n month! :mad: If I were JonyyB I would just do away with the useless ride of the month section just to shut up all the whining and complaining members. ;) If you don't like a ride, the person, their pics, their mods, or feel their submission isn't fair for whatever reason don't vote for them. It's that simple. Why start threads or dig up old ones just to bi*ch about someone else's entry? :confused: We all have our own personal preferences. ;) Like I won't vote for a stock HHR no matter how good the pics are. I'm not going start a thread to complain that only modded HHRs should be able to enter or that someone entered a stock HHR. :roll:

JonyyB was the first person to say something about the pics. I voted for the winner because even though I thought the setting sucked, overall, I thought it was still better than the other entries.

No one said it had to be some perfect setting, but no matter where you live, even here in the city, there are at least parks where you can get a background other than the inside of a garage or your kid's bike in the driveway. If you can't be bothered to put a little effort into it then just post your pics like everyone else and don't bother entering the contest. I like to see pics of people's cars that their proud of. But just because you take some photos doesn't mean they're good enough to represent the forum.

We have a but-load of sweet HHRs here and a lot of people do take the time to take nice pics. Some have outstanding rides but just take driveway shots. I like them both, but I place a little more weight on the ones who at least showed some effort to take good shots.
