Gah! Fanatic, damn good screen!

I dunno, no offence...I just dont really take fancy to any of those ones to be honest.

I didn't expect mine to make it since I had a mod (hence the aquilifers).

Anyways, I like Iron Rain a lot (besides my screen of course :clown:).

Hideous border and naff 'glint' on the eagle aside, I quite like TWFanatic's "Under the Eagle" screenshot. It's got that up-close and personal feel to it that I do so enjoy. Voted for Centurio Nixalsverdrus' "Iron Rain", though.

I voted for "The Charge". I can't even put my finger on what I like about it. Maybe I just like charges?

Eastern Warfare. :yes:

Imho, the best-looking one. The charge would be better, but I dislike how the formations are so in.. formation. <.< More rage, intensity, less order! Under the Eagle could be nice, the atmosphere, key figures/person-level drama... But ze graphics. It isn't visually very pleasing, exactly, imho... Sorreh. Iron Rain on the other hand... Just doesn't strike me that well. I don't know what it is, as I especially love the (massed) javelins flying on the enemies, and have taken several such screenies myself, but I just don't... Like it, for some, odd reason.

My vote goes to Charge and his shot:Eastern warfare

very artistic aproach:beam:

balloon for you m8:balloon2:

Well, I said it in the posting topic. Eastern Warfare, no contest. None of the others come close in composition, both in setting as in colour. Lovely.

Wow! I really didn't expect to find my pic in here!

I must admit I like Eastern Warfare better than mine.
Go Charge! (a little bit ambiguous, I know...)

Eastern Warfare... the composition is really fantastic. The juxtaposition of the riders in the foreground works well with the comparatively tiny archers in the background; it gives the viewer a feel for what it felt like to be those respective soldiers: the titanic, armor-clad lancers versus the seemingly insignificant, and certainly more vulnerable, foot archers. The colors are also quite striking: the contrast of orange(ish) wheat and blue sky is very effective. Plus, it's really big, and that works well with the dramatic subject matter.

"Eastern Warfare" from Charge:balloon2:

a Charge.

because I like cavalry.

The only reason I did not choose Eastern Warfare was because the golden grass, which initially looked very nice, drags on for far too long.
So I was forced to vote for the Charge, (picture, not the Author!), in staunch support of the Horse.

Your vote is very much appreciated!

~hopes a second place is still possible :sweatdrop:

Looks like I lost.

This is over now I think.

Dont worry.. I'll take a rest for couple of months ~;)

I'm surprised I made it into the poll.~:) However, can someone vote for me (Iron Rain) please? It's only two votes to rank 3...

I have just voted Eastern Warfare (not cause i like cavalry, but cause i think it's the better screenshot). Now, being On-Line, i wasn't able to see the partial scores. If i knew Eastern Warfare had already won, i would have voted for you, sorry.

Oh doesn't matter, you must vote for whatever picture you like best.
I won't mind letting TWfanatic go before me, his pic is beautiful enough to finish first (but so are the other three...). I was only encouraging my picture. :p
