Eh. I nulled - there was nothing that really caught my eye enough to give my vote towards. There's just various degrees of dislike I have for all the screens - some I could point out what, others just had something I couldn't point out but didn't make me want to vote nonetheless. Not to say none of them are good, just that I couldn't choose one out of the two I preferred (MrMister and T. Platinum).

Took a moment to decide between Mister and Platinum. Went with Platinum. 
Was close, but Mister's screen is... well it's good, but something seemed off about it. I realized that the issue was the amount of detail, while good enough, isn't distributed very evenly. One side of the screen has a patch of open empty space, the detail is sorta hogged elsewhere (center and lower-right mostly).
Platinum, on the other hand, has a solid and creatively detailed dungeon shot. While "awkward", as someone may have put it, the awkwardness is at best second nature to the creativity, uniqueness and distinction which all blend together-- this dungeon shot actually reminds me of how I like to design my own dungeon rooms, but it's definitely a very different style than I typically use(d) as well. Commendable.
Jimmyb's is great too, but two things kill it for me. One, that rock in the center looks weird; the north end is "eaten" by the overlaying bridge, and my mind can't fill in the mental image effectively with the water on the other half. Two, the mailbox... didn't register in my head as a mailbox. I had to do a double take and stare at it for a couple seconds.
Voted for T. Platinum.

I noticed that there are currently 0 screenshots waiting to be in the next SotW. If you guys want to continue to see this contest run on a weekly basis, there needs to be participants. It all relies on you guys, not just the two people who run it.
