-Slight picture editting allowed
-Cropping only to remove UI (any tiny pictures won't be added to the poll)-Does that include the "Pause" button cropping?
-Please keep the dimensions to a size that fits in the forum screen-If it's too big can I just use spoils?
-Must obey forum rules-What if there is a naked unit in the picture?
Questions added.

Questions added.
- Cutting the pause button out is ok, and some cropping is ok. Just no "wallet-sized" photos.
- I would prefer that it is reduced in scale so that it can be shown in the poll thread. Not required really, its just easier.
- Naked pictures are not allowed on the forum so please no naked units in the poll.

Yeah, I was thinking of entering the competition, but once I saw your screenshot, TWFanatic, I decided it would be pointless.
TW, very nice. what photoshop filers did you use? I am very intrested becouse i like screenshots.

Using GIMP, I lightly applied softglow to add the bloom effect and remove jagged edges then darkened the picture with lighting effects. I followed this with a slight desaturation. Not much really.

TWFanatic and ludwag are tied for best picture, I think.

but thanks. it is really good, becouse when you have the first look on it, it looks very good, and it looks very real.
Lots of good stuff here, TWFanatic's is my favorite as well- it just became my desktop background!

Excellent Maion! You are sure to get a few more readers for your AAR. Btw, did you use the battle cam there?
As a side note, I do think it would look even better if it was cropped less.

Thank you TWFanatic, though I think mine can't be compared to yours for any reason!
I actually didn't edit the picture at all, and yes I used movie cam (thus the greater zooming).

I think yours is brilliant Maion, I made it my background! I think it shows a real one on one picture that is amazing to capture so brilliantly. I just wish it was a film so I could see the guy running at him lose a limb from the strike his storing in that arm!

I fiddled with curves and some blur, hope it isn't to much for the rules :/
This is from customgame i played as the Sweboz. The Legionaries faltered everywhere but on that hill, holding out to the last man. my germans pushed them down at least two times, but they alway fought themselves up again. Pretty epic actually, I saved the replay ;P

Impressive, but there are no forts with walls in EB, at least I never saw one. Please tell me where you fought that battle.:smiley:

What exactly do you mean by that? If you're talking about the earthen rampant, that's just something the Romani get with their fort and all forts have the normal wooden palisades.

Yes I was talking of the earthen thing. I didn't know the Romani have such things! I'm such a Romani-ignorer...

This screen would cause killer load times if posted in full; so here is a thumbnail version.
I currently lack a catchy title, input appreciated.

Watch who you're calling a smelly dog, Maion. There are some Romani fans on these forums:laugh4:.
As for the genitals, there is nothing wrong with posting them here, or at least I don't believe so. I have seen AARs with various naked soldiers displaying their balls and penises in full glory. I have also read posts from various people saying that although they censor their content on other TW forums, .Org is permissive when it comes to this type of stuff. Which is yet another reason why .Org is the best forum on the Net!
Anyway, I like Centurio Nixalsverdrus'sand TWFanatic's screenshots the best. An advice to anyone else who post a screenshot: try to use Photoshop or other image-editing program to smooth the textures a bit, so the the jagged edges disappear. That's what made TWFAnatic's picture so great.
The Last Stand picture was very good.Very Atmospheric mood feeling in it. And looks very real.

I call it "Battle of Megalopolis" (331 BC)

cool, but too square and small. Do you have a bigger/wider version?
SwissBarbar
10-26-2008, 00:59
unfortunately not. it's an older one, i haven't any original version.
maybe i find another pic, that fits the rules of this competition
edit:
what about this one? i just cropped the "Pause"-sign and the Unit Index.
It's the view of the Macedonian General over his vast frontline, just at the beginning of the monumental battle against the roman invaders. The winner will take hegemony over Sparta. (current Roman Campaign, 178 BC)
