SC4 Picture Competition

[porter66083]

Well.... time for my opinion...

Casper's picture doesn't really have a sense of purpose to me. It's inherently nice, and doesn't over-do it on the photoshopping, but at the end I'm left going "Hmmm... random shot. K..."

Warszawa's picture really does overdo the photoshopping. But, it does at least have something that gives it purpose. It doesn't look random, and does have some aesthetic qualities.

So.... my vote is going to have to be directed to warszawa...

8-6 Casper leading

[TopCliff]

8-7 Casper leading. While I like the glass, the down and dirty construction looks so realistic.

[Unassigned]

I vote for warszawa. Like porter I find casper's shot somewhat random, the bit in the upper left corner spoils the composition. Not saying I could do as well, though.

A tie then,  8 - 8

[art128]

I vote for Casper's picture 
Casper- 9
warszawa- 8

[Manny]

A very difficult choice.

So :
Casper - 9
Warszawa - 9

[lerist]

Warszawa gets my vote.

Casper - 9
Warszawa - 10

[etherian]

I would like to challenge with my entry:

etherian



vs.

warszawa

[porter66083]

Kind of a tought choice.

Again, with warszawa, the picture is just too photoshopped. Kills most of its value for me.

Etherian's picture has a nice crispness to it, and has a great mix of custom stuff, but alas, too many repeated buildings for me.

1-0 Etherian

[CasperVg]

I second porter, and also vote for Etherian.

2 - 0 > Etherian leading

[threestooges]

I think I'll vote for etherian too. Warszawa's pic is good and the photoshopping adds a bit to it (though there is more than I would prefer). Etherian's pic, though it does repeat a few buildings, is great from a transit point of view, and the open areas look great too.
3-0

warszawa: While I do think the photoshopping is a bit overdone, it actually looks quite good.  However, there isn't really too much to see, I would've liked to have seen more of the area.

etherian: There's quite a bit a Maxis in there, but that really doesn't matter when it's not too repetitive.  The SBFT diagonal filler lots make those ugly jagged grass edges along the roads look great, and the greenery placed in the the middle of the roads creates the look of a park.  Paired with the awesome layout and traffic, this one's another winner!  'Nuff said.

Etherian - 4

Warszawa - 0

[Earth quake]

Warsawa: great pictures I love this quartier in under construction. Excellent work.
Etherian: splendid pictures, I love your RHW, but so much maxis.

It's  difficult, but my vote goes to ...... Ethrian

Etherian-5

Warsawa-0

[Alfred.Jones]

My vote still goes to Warszawa

Etherian - 5
Warszawa - 1

[sebes]

Etherian is also getting my vote: 6/1

[Unassigned]

I vote warszawa.

warszawa - 2. etherian -6.

Buildings in etherian's picture are repeated in a fashion which add realisticness imo. But the city planners have left the open areas in the middle of the area alone, there are no paths or other features. It is not credible to have a wilderness in the middle of such a built-up, planned area. May I suggest it's made into a parklike thing, that would give the picture greatness.

[art128]

I vote for Etherian

in Etherian's picture there is a lot of repetition of the building but warszawa's picture is too photoshoped

So my vote goes to Etherian
7 - etherian
2 - warszawa

[Lorus]

Etherian gets my vote.

Etherian - 8
warszawa - 2

[Patricius Maximus]

There's something about Etherian's picture that evokes memories of travel in the inner suburbs.

Etherian - 9
Warszawa - 2
