Dear oOple Members

The TrakPower competition has drawn to a close, and what a competition it was. We've been following the progress and admiring the photos here in the office for the duration of the contest - some serious talent has been on show! The criteria weren't the easiest... finding a decent sunset has been difficult enough but composing the shot with your four-whelled weapon of choice was even harder. Credit to all all those who made the effort, we feel there wasn't a bad entry!

Special mentions to 'sm0kin' for artistic flair and bringing a chuckle to all, 'mr. ed' for a very dramatic setting and 'kentech' for a beautiful setting.

Ok.. the winners as chosen by the oOple community...

Many thanks to Trakpower for making this possible and giving something back to the community - I hope the winners will enjoy their well deserved prizes and I'm sure we'll have some more competitions in the future.

But thanks again to Trakpower for all their help.

Yay Trakpower goodies!

Thanks for all the votes folks :) I was quite lucky when I read about the competition that night I had that awesome sunset so I was able to go out straight away and take shots.

thats not been tweaked in any way, thats exactly as it came out of the camera!
tbh i'm glad it managed to capture the colour as thats often lost in pics
phil over at Neo-buggy has posted a few more in the gallery section of his site here -

rightfully winners and splendid competition.

You guys (Trakpower and oOple) might think about doing this initiative more ogten. Some real gems where discovererd here.

another (might be stupid) question: is there a place where we can find some high-resolution-copies of these pictures. I might be overlooking them but can't seem to find them.
I really would like some of those as wallpaper on my laptop.
:D

I can give Jimmy a wallpaper sized one if he wants to put it up as a download here, failing that pm me and I can email you one.
