Voted for Christian.

By the by, I've noticed...how is Ebola's bridge not bothering you guys? It just looks completely out of place for the style of scenery...

Also you usually can't walk on planks of wood floating on a body of water. I do have tiles for it that are cracked and have moss growing on them, but they were my edits and I decided they ruined the feel of the screen. Sure, it might be too nice for the other screen details, but I feel like the bridge is a really nice interest point.

My apologies if I'm adding this in the wrong place, but I've been looking through many of these screenshots of the month and these quests look really cool!
Where can I download them? When I do a search, none of them come up. Thanks.
BTW, I did vote...both are excellent, but I preferred Ebola's

I've thought about that. I figured that originally, there was no bridge (or the original crumbled), and so somebody else (perhaps the Moblins) built a new bridge to make it easier to get around. At least, that's what made sense to me.

Well, it is the wrong place, but since you asked I think I can answer as well. I didn't bother to search for the Quest /Questthreads of all the shots in the Archive, and some aren't screens that appear/ed in quests actually but were solely designed to participate SotW. For the two shots in here, I guess that they are screens of either this or this (which is canceled).
Hm, one quest I can spontausly think about that showed up with screens in SoTW would be DarkFlameWolf's Lost Isle, which can be downloaded here.

Edit: For the sake of being on-topic: Ebola, I don't mind the planks, but share your opinion that they spice up the scenery. Only I think I "dislike" is how the treebrush on the top of the screen looks. It would've looked better if it just filled in all the place there in my opinion.

I went with EZ. I've liked that screen since the first time I had seen it. GBC style quests always win over my heart, but I had to go with EZ.

Had to vote for Ebola, if not solely for the AMAZING palette and lighting scheme the shot lays out. I am blown away.

I love Christian's too; I think Link in the Roc's Cape is the most appealing thing it has going for it. It would have been better though if he was using it to solve a puzzle or get over a pit/water or something. Link kinda just looks like he was randomly plopped somewhere on the screen.

Ah well. Both are wonderful.

I am glad to see two very different screenshots make it to the final round. Both are excellent in their own sort of ways, and shows that there are many ways to make a fantastic screen. I wish I could vote for both, but I chose Ebola Zaire as I think that is the #1 screen.

[Koh]

Even though I love GB and that nice screen, I went with Ebola Zaire.

[Zeldaman23]

I voted EZ because it look quest and wonderful colorful.
