WOW!

This one has come as a real shock to me! And I mean it as no offence but this is a real feat pulled of by Plurb. A HUGE congrats to him; he has only been here for a few weeks, his first contest, AND HE WON!

Really suprised, voted for Spitroast, but I guess those blurry textures, really pulled in a speedy win for him. 8)

Once again, a really, really big Congrats to Plurb on this First-Try Win.

Congrats, Plurb! It was an incredible shot, and your use of the usually-dreaded blurries to simulate speed was simply ingenious.

Looking forward to the next contest! Wink

Yah I know, I don't visit that much to those threads.. But it's alright even though I didn't want to win, this contest this month, just my opinion. I just think it looks edited and yah'll now that's unfair. Grin

Plurb couldnt have cheated, the reason the ground was blurred was because the graphics card wouldnt have been going fast enough to get the image looking crisp at that speed...if you get what i mean.
worthy winner Plurb, congrats.

A well deserved win!

Going so fast that your video card can't keep up with you!!
It all came together.

To some of the others, the thread has been cleaned from some of the "sore losers" that had something negative to say.
remember the Oath?

1 of you was almost just banned from the monthly contest, I am not kidding!!
I will not let this happen like it did a few months back, (This goes for some of you newbies)

I will not tolerate it!!
Enjoy the scenery Plurb!!

Even though I voted for your pic, I did it despite the cursor showing on the panel. Like I said before, you used the crappy ground textures to your advantage.

Good job!!

Great screenshot Plurb.

Very speedy effect you captured.

I didn't notice the cursor, and I know that the texture is blurred because that's how the textures look when you you are so close to the ground, it has nothing to do with the video card "keeping up".

Enjoy the prize and I hope to see your entries in future contests!

Glad my vote went to the deserving screenshot! Congrats Plurb!
