It’s Judge’s Choice!!! And our judge of the week is none other than mysterious newcomer Slotback – the man who stormed A1’s LAX – themed comp with this sick effort:


...






So what’s Judge Slotback got in store for us this week?



It’s….



“SCENERY”




...




Slotback says:

"I love slewing around the sim environment of which we all fly in, just taking in the beautiful scenery of places I've never been. I would like to see a beautiful sim environment, highlighting, in particular, the scenery of which we all fly in. Be it photoscenery, payware, freeware, stock, clouds and so on, it's all good as long as it's scenic."




THIS WEEK'S RULES  


1. There can be payware or freeware in the shots, FS any version. Editing is allowed but no composites, as only a few people can do them and it's hard to compete with a composite!

2. Aircraft are still allowed though the screenshot must show off the scenery

3. You nominate one shot only, as a thumbnail of about 5 kb. IT CAN BE AN OLD SHOT if you don’t have time to create something especially for the comp, though original entries are encouraged….  Post it in this thread, below.
DEADLINE for submission of shots is 8 PM GMT on SATURDAY.

The judge will choose which shot is best, and two runners -  up, and tell Krigl on Saturday or Sunday…

DEADLINE FOR JUDGE TO INFORM KRIGL: 8 PM GMT SUNDAY

The winner will usually be announced Sunday evening.  
 

THE WINNER IS THE NEXT JUDGE!


And, your winning shot goes into the Personal Portfolios!



...




4. The winner should decide on the next competition, and, by MONDAY NIGHT 8:00 GMT, send KRIGL one pic plus a short text to describe the competition and what they are looking for. Also send another couple of your best shots.  

We will start the new competition on Monday night, so people have 5 evenings to produce their entries.


5. This is for fun, so just post whatever seems to you to fit the rules. In the spirit of StudioV, we're all aviation and aviation screenie fans, and friends, and so just about everything goes. Rules are secondary, and no questions needed.
 
It might be an idea to check out our Judge's work, see what he likes....    


TWO 'IMPORTANT' NOTES  
 
A. The main point is that you get to be the judge – but the winning shot will extend your portfolio….  
 
B. If people don’t meet the dead-lines, don’t be surprised if Krigl makes the choices or even the competition for you. Studio V must ‘run on time’….  Sorry to be evil about this but it’s for the greater good, as it were.



...





Scenic shots – with planes – a great opportunity for all to show off the  most beautiful areas in which they fly…. And kill 2 birds with one stone too, as many of the shots will probably be able to go straight into the Simworld gallery!

C'mon. Pick one and let us see it. You'll never know unless you try.

Wait a minute! Try not! Do or do not. There is no try!
