Theryan: Well, the water looks a bit akward and the stuff like the boomerang doesn't fit.
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.

Theryan: 6/10
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.

Voted for Theryan for inspiring me to use classic again for something.
No problems with anybody else's shot though.

I voted for Theryan, I really like the cave setting. The other two were good as well, but not quite as interesting.

Theryan - 7/10
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.

Theryan: Classic doesn't turn me on, sorry.
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.

TriMaster001 wins this week by a lot of votes, congratulations to him. icon_smile.gif

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.

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

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

Which obviously did not happen, proving TM001 either wrong or a time-traveler.

Yeah, congrats on the SotW win.

I said that b/c MW yelled @ me when I complain that Shoelace forgot to capitalize the M in TriMaster. No big deal icon_razz.gif

The only yelling I'd be worried about right now is for a mod to come in and tell us to take to a PM. You don't have to bring it back up, TriMaster.

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