The decision was SO HARD for me... My favorite was clear, my least favorite was clear And everyone else was just so hard to place! I want to keep this simple. And considering this is fan voting... I have to admit I did want to give some people a boost that I thought deserved more credit.
1. Stephen Fairbrook This picture struck me with it's simplicity. It stood out for me because unlike the others it wasn't trying to be flashy and the color co-ordination was so well done that all the aspects that need to pop, popped and the fog fading off in the distance made the atmosphere PERFECT~!
2. Brun Hilda The framing on this shot is genius, with a simple message, join us, or join... dead. Really nice. It bugs me a little that the Magitek is cut off, but not so much that I don't appreciate the gesture.
3. Katarh Mest This is a really nice shot! The scenic in the background is great and you managed to pop, but you never had trouble with that. You've been growing well in this competition, and I want to see more from you. I'd really like it if you could get closer to the action next time, don't be afraid to be involved in the picture or die for your art! If you had been fighting them having been caught, it would also have been nice.
4. Hopelle Losstoam I love EVERYTHING about this pic... except for the ability effect! It really throws me off... it's a beautiful scenic shot, and here you are strong and facing off against the enemy, and then there are these red streaks going across everything to obscure all the rest of the beauty! Why must you do this to me?
5. Nozomi Kei This concept is so nice! And everything was arranged great! I only wish that you popped more from the picture (maybe having some sun minion action) and the sky in the background is so simple and underwhelming for the epic setup. It made the picture fall a bit flat, but your effort shows!
6. Sunny Day As always, you're beautiful. You really pop from the picture, but all the colors and effects going on obscures the background and you command too much focus for the theme because I really don't know what to look at behind you because you steal the show a bit too much.
7. Tinsley Tru'hart I'm so sorry, but you really did not use those wings effectively... the wings obscure everything interesting about your setting and you're in this active pose, but I don't see the threat! Everything else is so empty that I'm underwhelmed... this is a really weak shot for a great concept...
