Nice entry indeed, Fits the criteria, but it's time to disect it.
Blue Color Scheme..... 3/4 Points.
Text, too much/too clustered and just doesn't fit..... 1/4 Points
Backround is eh....not too nice but it fits. 3/4 Points
Again, the motion blur is eh.... doesn't give the full effect of what I want, and the blur really shouldn't have been over the whole car. I would of prefered the back....
2/4 Points
Final Score: 9/16
Lana or shall I say, Alana? You ripper! (please log in to view the image)
Good job Lana, time to disect
Colors are very nice 4/4
Backround is fine, but I would of went with something more abstract-y... 3/4
Text wasn't somthing I liked too much. but It fit in the overall blending. The name you put on the license plate was a nice little bonus thing there though. 4/4
You fit the criteria well, the motion blur fit good. 3/4
Final Score: 14/16
Winner: Lana, congrats your going to our semi-finals.
Darkwizard you did an excellent job too, again this isn't based on fairness with a Guy using GIMP and a 6 year Photoshop veteran going at it
Good job both of you

Nice duel guys. DW's is hilarious and cool, but I agree with the judging...very close though.
And, if memory serves, Barker's our judge for the semis. We'll be needing one for the 8-way free-for-all, and then at least 1 for the finals (I'm thinking about doing 3 judges for that one). I'll be one of the judges for the finals unless I make it there (highly unlikely), but we'll need at least 1 more...maybe two (the third vote might be a poll).
