My vote goes to JJ72, because his looks the most realistic. The others make the road look too smooth, like they are submerged underwater while JJ72's actually looks like real wet road.
sorry for double post,but isnt matagyula's picture's link wrong? coz a completly different pics comes in by clicking on the hi res link.or is it just me?
Make an extreme wet weather edit with pouring rain, and a car on slicks.
"Aquaplaning" is the idea of an extreme wet edit, it's the theme of the competition, just to point out we want something more radical than usual rain edit. But as I said it's an invitation but not an requirment, the sentence I used to interpret the theme did not require an actual lost of control, since aquaplanning does not equal certain death.
and another point is you can't argue whether a car in the picture IS actually aquaplaning. And none of the pics exgarrated a serious lost of control, so it's hard to say whether someone followed the theme. I put a river at the bottom of "Eau Rouge" so I guess mine should be aquaplanning pretty hard as well, but I can't possible prove it, same to everyone else.
And think about the T1 carnage week, no one had ever questioned whether some picture are indeed taken at T1, although some obviously ain't T1 in any of the configurations, but I think it's a screen edit competition and it should be the quality of the edit deciding the outcome, and it's written as it is in the beginning.
Yea i can understand that its just i tried to follow the theme like some of the 1st posts pointed out, not just a rain scene (that was added on the voting) which would have been alot easier, maybe if the "or rainy" was added at the start it would have been different.
I just figured alot of ppl would have done similar to what i did and depict a car loosing control.
And aquaplaning normally means the beginning of loss or loosing of control of the vehicle in standing water.
In motor vehicles

What the driver experiences when a vehicle hydroplanes depends on which wheels have lost traction and the direction of travel.
If the vehicle is traveling straight, it may begin to feel slightly loose. If there was a high level of road feel in normal conditions, it may suddenly diminish. Small correctional control inputs will be ignored by the vehicle.
If the drive wheels hydroplane, there may be a sudden audible rise in engine RPM and indicated speed as they begin to spin. In a broad highway turn, if the front wheels lose traction, the car will suddenly begin to drift towards the outside of the bend. If the rear wheels lose traction, the back of the car will begin to slew out sideways into a skid. If all four wheels hydroplane at once, the car will slide in a straight line, again towards the outside of the bend if in a turn. When any or all of the wheels regain traction, there may be a sudden jerk in whatever direction that wheel is pointed.
