WINNERS, WINNERS, WINNERS



Judge SeanTK says:
“There were some truly creative, and strange (in a good way) shots for this JC! Old sims, cats, a New Zealand airplane, and more crowded this past week, and made it tough to single out the most interesting ones! Excellent work!”






Frequent Flyer!!



...



"Something about this shot just really stood out for me, but I can't put my finger on it. Among other things, I found the lighting conditions to be very good for this kind of image...kind of rugged and dreary, as if you were landing on a coastline in the pacific northwest.  The entire scenario really appealed to me!"



CONGRATULATIONS Frequent Flyer!!!!







"Applepie takes second place!"


...



"Very original, creative, and simply cool! A well balanced image that was really out there literally and figuratively!"




RaptorF22 takes home third!'


...


"The sky conditions here are absolutely captivating. I have never seen clouds like that in the sim!"






Nice work on a great comp!



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




Cheers

Mitch.

For some reason Photobucket likes to downsize large pictures, that's why I switched to Imageshack. Wink

I think this is the most random "open topic" screenshot comp that I have seen yet. A boat, a cat, and FS95.

That would have completely defeated the purpose of the shot.  The jaggies are what make that shot.  Cool

Please note: the HQ version is slightly different than the normal version (added a prop which I didn't realize I haven't added before). I haven't changed my actual entry so it should still be entry-able.

... its a well known fact that the 727 was notoriously lower than most jet airliners of that time period due to... er.... stuff Grin !! personally, i'd be more concerned by the fact that the wings are probably slicing through the terminal just off right of the shot! or the fact that the aircraft is on a collision course with the Bae 146 in the reflection! or the fact the altemeter is at over 5000ft hehe  Wink

Hey Sean, love the theme, really good entries from everyone! tough choice!!
