Trimaster001: The palette looks really loveable, however, it's quite a simple shot, the trees are just packs, they don't have gaps between them.
Castchaos: You used much variation in shot, it really resembles a swampy area and your caption was funny so my vote goes to you.

A bit of a mixed bag for me. It's a well-designed shot, but the blue is way too strong, and there are some conflicting styles going around.
TriMaster001: 6/10
Charming, but the screen design is rudimentary and the symmetry is a big turn-off.
CastChaos: 7/10
I still dislike the saturation of the colors in the water, but this shot succeeds in capturing a swampy atmosphere while striking out in a unique screen design.

No problems with anybody else's shot though.

I rarely imagine a mixture of mostly classic and non-classic tiles (the bushes, of course) working together, but I think they do just good enough here. Very nice job with the color choices.
TriMaster001 - 6/10
Not bad. Good focal point and detail in the central parts, although more diversity among the trees would be worth the risk if you can get it right.
CastChaos - 7/10
The rain is definitely a better choice than the last time you had a similar screen, as it goes much better with the water you have. Good differentiation between shallow and deeper water. The tree in the center determines the main focus of the screen, but I do wonder if there are better trees you can use on the sides of the screen that would make the graphics more similar to that of the center tree without having to switch to another tileset.
Hard decision. My tie breaker goes to what I think was the biggest risk. While a classic style screen is often that case with me, I have to go with CastChaos this time for getting the rain right to try to get many of the elements of a swamp to work together.

Trimaster: Awesome use of DOR and good screen setup and design.
CastChaos: Good try, but too much stuff clashes and its not properly set up to be pleasing to the eye.

SoTW 192 starts tomorrow and so far I've only received two entries. Make sure you send your shot to Shoelace, Xavier, and me. Good luck to those who participate.

MW is going to yell at me again.

Why would I yell? (Considering you said that, you motivated me not to, because apparently, you want me to yell at you.)

Well, I'm participating in 192... wish me luck, I suppose.

Yeah, congrats on the SotW win.

Anyway... now that it's Sunday over here, can it be posted up? *Anxiously waiting... it's been a while since I've competed*
