SC4 Picture Competition

[Alfred.Jones]

I like your shot Bat, but I think it needs a bit more happening. Maybe a couple of trees or a tractor driving along the path.
Girlfromverona, very nice ghetto area. Excellent selection of buildings and nice photo editing

Stunning picture, Girlfromverona!

Bat's picture is a little overdone on the RRP flora, and GirlFromVerona catched the slummy look perfectly, so she(?) gets my vote.

5 - 1 > Girlfromverona leading

Bat's pic is a nice demonstration of the RRP, and it looks like a very tranquil pic. It's a good use of open space. It is however, a bit too open. It seems like there could be something more in the pic (a ranch house or something) but otherwise well done. Girlfromverona's pic is a great little urban shot. The wear on the buildings is played up nicely and the whole area has been given a touch of dirt/grime. My vote this round goes to girlfromverona.
girlfromverona: 9
bat: 1

[sebes]

I give one more vote to bat because I just think he deserves more than one vote with that great picture....

9/2, Girlfromverona leading

I have always loved that BAT of Falling Water, and there's a touch of nostalgia seeing the old PEG streams blended in with the newer elements. However, there are a few things I noticed. First, in the bottom right corner, it looks like there is a gate from the RRP kit that does not seem to have any path going through it. Considering that there is enough traffic to create the path in the pic, it seems strange not to see it lead through the gate. I like the way you've blended the lot into the surrounding terrain and partly obscured the view of the house. I can't help but think it might look better from a different angle (90 degrees either way), but it is still an all around good pic.

The density and balance of girlfromverona's pic is well done. There does not seem to be much noticable repetition and the pic has a very consistent feel throughout and the open space near the church is a great touch.

Each is a good picture, but this round my vote goes to girlfromverona.
1-0

Simpson:  It's a nice setting for the falling water house, and the combination of trees in the pic is good, but I feel there is a good bit of room for improvement.  While the circular fading effect sits well with the rest of the pic, the way the colors were shifted is a bit odd, as it gives the peg stream a too greenish look to it, as well as over saturating the ground and some of the trees.

As far the scene itself, I think the darker dirt path would have fit the color of the ground better here(less contrast with it), and the boulders seem a bit precarious on the edge of the hill there...

Marisa:  I really like this pic.  It's grungy, and in a way that really fits.  It's ultimately very convincing, without repetition, yet maintaining the same feel across the neighborhood.  Then you're eyes find the open space next to the church, which provides the needed contrast against the dense growth around it.  If I had to pic something to complain about, the editing, or compression, might have made it just a little too gritty, but really great shot.

So I'll go for GirlfromVerona

3-1
