SC4 Pictures - 2nd Tournament of Non-Champions! (5/4/07 through 5/7/07)

Wow! That may be one of the hardest decisions I've had to make yet! Great pictures from all three of you!

It's Mulefisk for me (I voted in the poll, so I'm just explaining here).  No distractions in his pic.  Matt loses me with the sharp grade changes on his road in to the parking lot- it would have been more effective to have the lot at the top and stairs on a sidewalk down.  Shadow comes so close, but the edges of PEG's ponds just blow it for me.  It's funny, though, because the real-world curve highways Shadow uses used to do the same thing- now I just look right past them and think about how brilliant his vision is, as he's about the only one who gets divided highway curves right.

Fine pics, all.  I just thought such a difficult choice deserved explanation.

Gotta go with SA here...

Mulefisk's picture is awesome, and against most anything else would've had my vote...  But, the ambiance that makes it special relies almost entirely on Photoshop.  SA's pic is clearly PS'd as well, but stands on its own merits due to it sweeping scale and realistic detail.

That's it, folks!  It's all over!  Three pictures went into the final round, and came out with only a two-vote difference between the least and most voted on picture.  So close!...and yet, there can only be one.  And the who takes the crown this time, the one who has earned a spot in the Hall of Fame, the winner of the 2nd Tournament of Non-Champions is:

Shadow Assassin!

Congratulations, Shadow Assassin!  Your picture will now be inducted into SC4D Hall of Fame!  As for Mulefisk and mattb325, your pictures will be automatically entered into the next 2nd Chance contest, should there be one.

So ends another 2nd Chance tournament.  Well done to all those who participated, and a big thank you to all who voted!  Please keep those awesome pictures coming!

Congratulations, SA! It was definitely a tough round to pick from!

Congrats, each of you.  Three fine pics- each in its own right a winner!

LOL, this was close.

I suppose it's a case of third time lucky.

Thanks to all who voted.
