Hello everyone, after much consideration I have chosen 3 contesting finalists that everyone in the forums will be able to vote upon.

Here is how the voting is going to work:

1)I will post the three photos and their respective owner's names.

2)Everyone should carefully look over these photos and judge them accordingly to angle, lighting, professional looks, etc.

3)Post a reply to the thread which casts your vote choosing the number 1, 2 or 3 and the respective owner's name.

VOTING WILL END IN ONE WEEK, THE REASON BEING SO THAT EVERYONE HAS A CHANCE TO ENTER A VOTE.

I suggest not making multiple accounts to vote because I will be asking the mods to watch for this on this thread specifically and they will ban those who do this and I will have their votes NOT count.

Absolutely stunning shot. i LOVE the lighting there aswell as the overall look of the vegetation... also the centaur on the background was a + ... made it so much more real and alive. ( are you the grey things... or is it a shield ... watever ... near him ? >.>)

Lawl lost Tender's vote - I'ts cuz Kitiara came after u with a stick huh? haha hahah! Hope u know I was jk about that <3

Sheesh guys thanks so much for the votes! I'd just have to give cred to Nian and Oogami for encouraging me to enter >.> so shocked my pic made it in!

Should that pic get lucky enough to get the most votes U know I'd have to share the winnings with u 2 - gotta thank those who encouraged me - call it a finders fee ha ha!

<3 Kiti

edit:
Nope i died basically in the middle/bottom of the picture (see the two tiny white pixels? - ya that's me covered in vegetation

) - hence the cropping of my pic the way it is...when u die the camera angle shows a LOT of ground - but it was a spur of the moment decision to take the shot cuz i was like "hey i love this place" take a breathe and enjoy the moment kind of thing - lol, ironically enough :P didn't think i'd enjoy being dead! - since the goal of the comp was to submit a spur of the moment pic I thought ya....this is the one :P

Entry #1. The place from which the screenshot was taken makes it look better, since the other two look to be taken on the ground.

My vote goes to entry #2, by TheHoweller.

While all three of them are fantastic shots, I think that #2 shows the scenery most clearly, and doesn't try to push too many scenic features on the eye at once. It's simple, and the way the lighting cascades through the forest canopy gives a beautiful mix of light and shade that helps bring out the colours and foci of the shot very well.

My vote is for #2.

I would say #3 for me, its different then the typical landscape scene of sky, ground, water and bloom affect.

I like the other 2, they are just to common though.
