Fjordmonkey Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Awesome work, congrats to the winner. Would it be possible to get the screenshots that didn't win posted in full resolution? Regards Fjordmonkey Clustermunitions is just another way of saying that you don't like someone. I used to like people, then people ruined that for me.

Cobra5087 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Some absolutely fantastic shots! My favourite is the director in front of the F-14. Great job everyone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Romeo Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 In my opinion, first place is way too generic to have won. Just place two ships and a F/A-18 and win. People have set up crazy missions in the ME to get a perfect picture of a combined operation meanwhile first place looks so effortless. 24 My skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First place should be one of the ones presented in the top 20. The top 20 ones are so good. That is just my opinion. 2 std::cout << "[51☭] Spade (K) - 51st PVO/100 KIAP Regiment" << std::endl; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N0XID Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Congrats to the Winner! But! Just my opinion. There are so many better ones than the winning picture? There's no need to spend time on a perfect shot when it's obviously enough to see an F18 take off on an aircraft carrier as seen 1000 times before.... + and also shows poorly resolved clouds...?! Personally, I don't care who won, I'm just a bit critical of those who “really” made an effort to create a nice screenshot without post-processing. There were plenty of them in this competition!

You were robbed by the MFD Hornet mafia. I see you bro. Edited August 30 by Enigma89 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they should be judged by the effort put into them? You can put a lot of effort to stage bad screenshot, meanwhile lots of good screenshots just happen all the time naturally, with no effort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasboy Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Thank you so much to ED for this award!! I still can't believe it!! I understand those who didn't like my photo; I also prefer many others over mine. Even so, I dedicated time to making it the best it could be. Thank you once again, and congratulations to the other winners and to all the photos submitted in general. Best regards! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinM9991 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 If anything, the winning photo does show that simple is best. One of the rules was indeed that photos shouldn't be post-processed, while many submissions were post-processed through photo editing software. I'll tell you what wasn't edited in anyway though - my submission: It's a fix I tell you, a fix! Congrats to the winning pics. That thread does have some great screenshots. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have taken hours finding just the right composition / lighting, etc. and without the advantage to use Photoshop or other such software. How about having a competition where post processing IS allowed and even encouraged? Aren't many of the official art releases post processed? At least "touched up"? I think that rOEN911 did much of the Rise of Flight and IL2 GB artwork and shows what can be done with software. https://www.deviantart.com/roen911 Edited August 30 by II.JG1_Vonrd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't going to go there... and I don't think that I would be able to tell unless it was done badly and was obvious. I just think that having a competition where it was allowed might result in some really stellar artwork.

Raffi75 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 It's a shame that no one noticed one very striking thing. This contest is biased. It primarily promotes equipment made in the USA, especially jets. I've seen many better shots in this thread that deserve at least a mention and there was no American equipment there. Congratulations to the winners. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
