Calendar 2014 picture selection, VOTE HERE!!! (until 15th of September) Options

[malpaso]

It is here. The voting. I do not want to make the same mistake as last year so will making voting public. I wanted from everyone who wanted to vote to pick 12 pictures from the list. Not less. Not more. Sadly there were people voting just for one or two cars and ignored effort of others. I know it is not easy to pick 12 (so in fact eliminate 8 nice pictures from 20). So I made decision to give chance to two groups of people.

a) I picked my favorite 12 pictures (you can find them on the bottom of this post). If you like my selection OR you just want your calendar (no matter what car is used) vote for DEFAULT. Default vote gives one vote to each car in "default selection".

b) YOU want to pick your own 12 favorite pictures. Vote for OWN SELECTION and post your 12 favorite nick names in this topic (just writing 12 nick names is fine). Own selection vote gives also one vote to each car in your selection.

- Voting ends on 15th of September 2013 (so in two weeks)
- All votes for all entries will be counted together the winner list will be created.

NOTE: after I saw whole group of pictures I just can not help my self but see as bit better calendar cover picture from IfWeChoose not the originally mentioned one from Tigawoods.

So you can mention this in your own selection posts as well (keep cover original OR nominate new one)

This way everyone can check results, everyone can see progress of voting. Below you can see all 20 pictures I received in high resolution = below are all only valid subscribers for voting:

I vote for default selection but if the darks won't come out very well then maybe UndaGrwnD, rentaspace and maybe marcov might need different pictures? Just a thought

Thank you all for participation! Honestly I have expected more posts with own 12 selections. Was it just me who made that effort with selection of 12?

I will definitely not change anything from default selection now when voting has started. And that exactly why is here possibility to make own selection. If you do not like UndaGrwnD, rentaspace or marcov picture (any reason - and yes "too dark" is also reason) just replace them in your own selection with another that suits you better please.

In terms of printer. I plan to use the same printing company not just because I am lazy to search for another. Reason is because if we make order for 50 calendars (as was last year btw.) they create for such a big batch of printing "sample for approve" and send to me before all 50 are made. The reason is exactly to see how it looks in terms of cropping, colors and lightness. So I see no issue with "dark" pictures. What is mystery for me is the fact why debate about "too dark pictures" is started after collection of pictures is closed (!?) Why ANYONE have not mentioned this when pictures were submitted???? That means a months ago... not "10 minutes after midnight".
