SC4 Picture Competition

[vab423]

Well said Cabrabuitre.  Colyn, I went back and looked at the original rules and they state ...photoshop can be used; not must. 

Congrats on the last round, Jacky.  I think I'm going with Travis' pic this time as I think I can see my retirement house in the top right corner.

5-0 Travis (?)

First off, thank you guys for keeping the conversation civil!  That's a perfect example of how to present opposing opinions respectfully, without flames or insults.  Thank you!

Okay...I'm going with Jackie's picture, making the score 5/1 in favor of Travis.

WOW talk about being ummm what thats word im looking for here
ohh yea Civil, wait errrrr not that word but umm how about
Friendly and REAL.  yea that works for me.  Those last few post
about what makes a picture worthy, IE to use or not use Photo
editing skills is what makes SC4Devotions special and with that
said and off my chest my vote goes to Jacky. - pat

Travis  5

Jacky  2

[jen_p]

I really like Jacky's pic

5/3 Travis

I must add that in my opinion both presentation and subject matter should count.

[Colyn]

Well I hear what you are saying and I agree about the rules ... but let's think about it for a moment ... there are hundreds of threads with MD style shots and great stories and excellent building skills .... but this forum is something different .... here I expected to see some top quality shots well presented and as a matter of fact when I saw the opening shot from Masochist I was really impressed ... then there was the Marczar shot and others follow ... but then I also see people voting and stating that this or that "city building" skill was either the PRO or the CON and I thought that it was not right ... here we do not boast or show city building skills ... here we show that what is SPECIAL ...

Now maybe we take this discussion out of the VOTNG thread and then we can also at least post some images to make a point ... there is a SUGGESTION BOX thread that we can use.

PS. Congratulations Travis!

[Masochist]

Attention!  I know I said that I wouldn't do anything about this, but enough people have spoken up in the Suggestion Box thread that it's clear that something must be done.  So starting right now, if you post the deciding vote (as in the 10th vote for a picture to win) and wish to challenge for the next round, you must wait until at least half-an-hour (30 mins.) has passed.  That's regardless of whether or not the other picture is inducted into the Hall of Fame.

This is not to punish or penalize the last voter, it's only done to give people a fair chance to challenge.  Many people use the last vote to challenge others, and no one can tell if the vote is an actual valid opinion or just a means to jump-the-gun.  Hopefully this helps to curb that.  If you have any thoughts on this (positive or negative), please visit the aforementioned Suggestion Box thread and respectfully state them (you will be heard, I guarantee!).  Thanks!

Now that that's all out of the way, Travis's picture is in its second round...I'll have to go with it on this one.

1/0 Travis

[Colyn]

My vote goes to "Die Heuwel" ... I like the play of light and that dogleg row of cottages just makes me see the Cape

1/1

[rooker1]

I really like both pictures, but I'm going to with........Travis.

2/0 Travis
