Hi all, me again.
First of all if the moderators deem this to be in the wrong place (I apologise :)) or worse not within the spirit of the forum feel free to move it to wherever it should be or delete as neccessary. (I don’t know if it deserves a sticky, see what you think).
OK I’m ready to start my next huge motorsport undertaking and on the back of the awesome amount of support I've received from you guys I’d like to involve the community.
This was the last bit of work that got serious C&C from you guys:

I’d like to offer the community the opportunity to submit their most poignant motorsport photos, for example Valentino Rossi, Richard burns, Colin McRae, Nigel Mansell, Andy Priualx or whoever you think of as a motorsport icon.
I intend to create another painting based on one of your photos and post up the WIP intermittently until it’s done (the last one took months so this is not going to be a flash in the pan thing).
Once we’ve had a few submitted I'd ask the community to choose which one gets the treatment.
I intend to print a dual signed (mine and the original photographer) limited edition run of 50 A1 prints for sale with #1 going to whoever submitted the chosen photo as a reward (and a reduced rate option for anyone who submitted). This is solely open to the talk photography community.
I need to stress that this must be your own photo (after the fun times I've had with Getty) so don’t trawl the LAT or Sutton Archives. You also agree that your photo can be used as reference for the painting and nothing else, The image may be modified slightly due to artistic licence I will not retain or redistribute the photo once the painting has been finished.
Submit to the normal TP rules strictly one photo per member at the max 800px wide so the community can see it properly (so choose the one your most happy with, stick a title in there to so we can see why you posted it), however the original photo will need to be a high enough res that I can use it as a reference for the painting.
Hopefully some of you will be interested in this, let’s see what kind of response we can get. I look forward to seeing what you can come up with.
Thanks in advance
