SC4 Picture Competition

[vester]

My vote goes to HandsOn

3-3 tie

[CasperVg]

HandsOn gets my vote; Art's picture doesn't really have something in particular that jumps out.

4 - 3 > HandsOn leading

[jestarr]

While I like Art's picture a lot (it's my kind of thing), there's a couple things that bother me.  First, there would never be tall trees under a HV power line.  The respective power company would clear a right-of-way under them.  Second the Maxis trees just don't match the surrounding area.  Using trees by cycledogg or jeronij would have been a better choice, imho.  So, my vote goes to Hands On.

Hands On - 5
Art128 - 3

Art128 gets my vote.  Sure there are some small problems, but that diagonal street connectors in HandsOn's pic has more problems, so the rural tranquility does it for me.

HandsOn  5-4  Art128

I'm not sure if everything quite squared out with the last round, but I think it has worked out fine. I do recommend that everyone double check their score after voting to help avoid problems (I've done it myself too, it's easy to miss).

In regard to this round: Bringing the pics over:

HandsOn:


Same thoughts to HandsOn's pic. Art's pic is interesting on a technical level knowing the pieces used to make the HSRP look as though it was sitting on the ground. I haven't seen those pieces used in a while. Good touch. From a realism/artistic view, I agree about the trees under the power lines being a bit tall. While some growth might be expected (particularly if the lines have been there for a while) some of those trees looks a bit close, and there would likely be a bit less density involved. I can understand the Maxis trees (or anything non-standard to the rest of the scenery as companies will usually plant what they think looks good and not necessarily what was there before.

This round, my vote goes to Art128

[thundercrack83]

I'll go with our incumbent, art128, for this round.

1-0, art128.

[Shingure]

Okay...This is a tough one...

Porter - Your picture is eye pleasing. I like it , Even though I know Iam not the best when it comes to some custom content selection myself I think that the farms could use a overhaul. But that is really minor. I love the shot.

Art - Okay , At first glance your picture is nice. But then when you look at it closely then you have to think about the realistic aspect of it. As I look at the power lines they are too low or the trees are too high. Normally when I see those kinds of powerlines there is only small brush or no trees or shrubs at all underneath. Otherwise the trees could catch fire or be succeptable to getting struck by lightning...Hence also catching fire. I love the trees though and I have those rural elevated rail sidings too. They are nice too.


I will vote for Porter...
