Photo contest - Rant-

Is this really not worthy of the top 50 picks? You be the judge cause clearly SE doesnt have any.

I feel so defeated that this isnt even a choice for them when most of the photos in the contest were mostly unorganized groups posing together with unmatching outfits.

It's incredibly dark, most of the details are difficult to work out. I'd suggest using photoshop and lightening it a tad for clarity.http://oi63.tinypic.com/2me6zol.jpg

Op - this really is a case of lighten up :)

except photoshopping the pictures is against the rules.

My biggest gripe with this contest is you had to have at least three people. It was hard enough just trying to find one other person that wanted to do this with me. In the end we ended up not being able to enter because we couldn't find a third person :/

Ah, was unaware of this stipulation. I don't really do contests >.>'

I actually like the shot. It has coordinated outfits, a theme (dragons & unifying dragon in center ), and a different location than most. Sorry to hear this wasn't selected.

The main purpose of the contest was to engage and entertain the player base. Don't expect too much from contests like this one.

yeah, it's a nice motive, outfits and stuff. but the picture is too dark. it is a bad picture of a good motive.

to lighten things up you can use the Wind up Sun minion. the minion gets invisible too when you make the HuD invisible and only the light stays.

Also if you need to obtain the sun minon, just take an elixir to the imp in a pot at the very far end of the Isle of Umbra. Pic related: red circlehttp://oi68.tinypic.com/nwdb9s.jpg

Best screenshot minion, ever.

Without seeing the others, we can't really judge. (Is there a link to the others?) But as it stands, the picked 50 may have just been better.

Ah, thank you. However browsing a few....I can see why yours wasn't considered. Sorry to hear though. =/

You should put Wind-up Sun if you want your character more bright.

You needed a 5th person doing the red Ranger pose in the middle to really set it off. Plus you need to lighten up the picture, this of course could have been fixed by brightening your monitor or TV.

It's a nice shot but much too dark, I'd say the darkness hindered your chance of winning. Get dem wind up suns out. ^^

I ... don't think it works that way....


The screenshot would have been interecepted before the image gets to the monitor, so your monitor settings should not affect it...

Perhaps gamma settings in game would... but not the monitor's.
