@modified Can you finally switch it up next month, do something different, like the best parking job at the local mall.
Something refreshing and funny, for years it’s exact same thing you can tell guys are trying to cater their photos to the winning formula format. It’s just not interesting anymore. You can tell the above truck ain’t even close to offroading, he’s just there for the money sunset shot showing off his shiny new mods. That’s my honest opinion on what the contest has become.

I love this picture! It's fun to see the "antics of mindless people". I would vote for this if it was the criteria of the month.
It's tough to run a series like this, I would imagine there are a lot of people that can't make the beautiful pictures that we see in this contest for reasons across the board. I would love to have someone shooting me in a situation where I was doing something cool with the truck, but I generally have the camera with me and can't take the photo. Guess I need to hire a photographer.
I have to admit, the
@04sshd photo was awesome the way it was set up and I believe this was the draw for most to vote for it. It doesn't match the criteria exactly, but a LOT of people voted for this photo simply because it was good. (Great composition and lighting)
That said, I typically vote for the best photo that MEETS the criteria in my opinion. I don't usually vote for myself because it just doesn't seem right.
So far, I have NOT picked a winner yet.
This time around, I voted for one that came close but also, met all the criteria.
I can't blame anyone for voting the way they see as the best pick for them, it's what they liked and it's nice to see this every month. I would personally like to see a "top three" vote, given one or two days for a response, and the highest points photo wins. This would certainly get all of the votes focused on the best observed photo in the group and possibly sway the outcome.
But it's easy for us to try to pick out rules and criteria, it's a lot harder (and possibly frustrating) for the administrator to meet everyone's wants. Hats off to
@modified for keeping this going. It gets a lot of conversation and participation.
Good luck to anyone entering their truck in this competition, may the dirtiest, most abused truck, win, or maybe the cleanest before and after... (Top color?)
Hats off to @TellurideTremor for their close second place and @AZsurveyor for a solid third-place achievement!
