What do I think? You put the wrong picture into the competition!

THAT is a WINNER!

it's a great shot no doubt :clap:
definitely blurs the line between screenshot and photo. (maybe too far for the competition?)

No offense guys, but no matter how good it looks, I reckon this is no longer a screenshot.

I can't see how something that is 90% photograph can be classed as a screenshot.
A nice Photoshop exercise, but definitely not a screenshot <_<

This doesn't take away from the fact that it is a nicely executed image though :)

Most screenshot contests often are specific about the extent of editing permitted.
The NZFF rules are less stringent, but the shot doesn't qualify in terms of Rule 1).
You can only use FS material.
Great picture though.

I agree. Rule 5 says:
5) Editing is allowed, if you know how to do it. The more stunning your shots look the better!

i think this means that you can sharpen/add sepia/lens flare etc, but not substantially modify the screenshot with real photography. not for me to make the decision however, it's for Trolly.
maybe January's competition could be a photoshop spectacular?

i think this sums it up nicely:

wait, now im just confused. First we say it might not be allowed. Then Trolly says it is allowed. Then Im told its not allowed. Then again Im told its not allowed. Then Im told that its Trollys decision, who said it was allowed in the first place?

Hmmmm... :unsure:

I changed my competition entry back to its original :D
