WINNERS, WINNERS, WINNERS



Judge ManuelL says :

"Just took an hour to click through the posted shots (again and again) and

finally came to my decission:"





Wafu448!!



...



"I like shots that tell a story or bring up associations with every day situations. To me

this is such a shot. It is taken from an unusual perspective, putting the plane in the

background and the composition is very good."



CONGRATULATIONS Bruce!!!!







"Mitch takes second place."


...



"It is hard to catch a good lightning in FSX and this one is just gorgeous. The

composition with the city of Melburne just recognizable in the background is excellent."








Third place is for gtirob01"



...



"The paint and lighting of this jet are beautiful and the full moon adds a nice

atmosphere. I can feel my subconscious has taken in the subtle message and I will from

now fly Delta Jets and only once in a blue moon consider China Airlines."



"Thanks a lot, Shane!
You are doing an excellent job - running all these competitions! Smiley

Kind regards
Manuel "







Nice work on a great comp!



Wafu448 is on the bench next week! Can't wait to see what he comes up with for a theme.
A big congratulations to the other finalists, and great job to all that entered. Smiley




Cheers

ShaneG

Somehow it never happened.

Very nice shots already - keep them coming! Smiley

SeanTK entered this contest almost every week for about 2 1/2 years before he won his first! Shocked Wink
And on the other end of the spectrum...
Patchz won it in his first couple of tries! Cool
