I diddnt like it at all. Too small and to little perspective to make it epic. Just pressed the pausebutton right time, and moved the camera there.
I'm sympathetic to your point of view, ludwag -- and I really liked your artwork, by the way -- but I had to go with Maion's. Yes it's small and simple, but in my view it shows the quality of the EB artwork that is to be center stage in the competition. I agree with others that this shouldn't evolve into a Photoshop contest.Quote:

For me it was a tie between Maion's and Nixalsverdrus'. In the end, I voted for Maion. But #7 is still a very very very close silver medal.
Loyalty unto death
I voted for the "The Loyal Makedonian". TWFanatic's was good too, but I disagreed with the Photoshop thing. Maion Maroneios' was simple, picturesque, untouched, and pure.
4- "Into the Fray We March" by TWFanatic, nice picture.
Cheers.
Looking close. A balloon to everyone who voted for #4. :balloon2:
Hey,that's illegal! You can't buy votes with money! :laugh4:Quote:

That's why he's buying them with balloons instead :yes:.Quote:

haha, i did :2thumbsup:
so how to give away baloons? Just tell you I give you?
i don't know, didn't even realize that there was any system behind it :laugh4:
balloons are meant to be a rare commodity, saturating the market by giving out 5 balloons to every one who voted for you devalues them. You should only give them out for special reasons, voting in a screenshot competition is not a special reason.
Foot
getting a vote from ME is ... :laugh4:
nah, we're only joking
yeah. I will very rearly give away baloons. So that when I do, it will be very big, and it will mean very much for that person
Yeah, so far I have given away two balloons: one to MarcusAureliusAntoninus for his AAR, "The Pyrrhic Dynasty : A Makedonian AAR" a.k.a the greatest RTW/RTW mod AAR and to Wausser for his stunning Heroic Victory using the Romani.Quote:

In all seriousness, I used to think the same thing before I learnt how to edit images. I soon discovered that the more subtle the changes, the more broad an appeal they have (in general). From my experience, the best PSed screen shots don't fundamentally change the original image, they just remove graphics/computer related ugliness (jagged lines, poor lighting, etc.) and enhance the features already present. Think of a babe from the babe thread--I dislike those made of silicon or those wearing excessive mascara. A little something to enhance what's already there is always nice tho, and in regards to a more mature lady it doesn't hurt to smooth out a few wrinkles. Photoshop evens the playing field for people with crappy computers.
I agree, especially now that I've won one.:smash:Quote:
