Eorzea's Next Top Model (Cycle 1) - FINAL ROUND

[Matthias-Ronen]

It's clear from the majority of the posts already that Val is going to be the winner. Thus far, out of all of the votes, only two of them have been for Rina. I don't mean to undermine or insult Rina by saying this, but it would be best to move on and declare the winner rather than tally more votes on a disproportionate level.

Ok, so I finally got ahold of Rongi. He won't be home til tomorrow, so he can't fix the Frozen shoot pic in my portfolio. But he told me to post it here. So meh, here it is.

I think Rina had an excellent screenshot in Makeover, which is one of the better screenshots of the whole competition, as well as a stronger showing than Valintine in the remaining categories of Bikini, Stars, and Forest. However, my vote goes for Valintine for the themes of Nation Pride, Minions, Ice Queen, and Battle because I think they do a better job at capturing the idea for each category. Which leaves the Freeform section.

Ultimately, I think Valintine's submission for Freeform is hands down one of the coolest character action screenshots I've seen of this game period, which is what finally swings the vote over in her direction for me, leaving Valintine with 5 and Rina with 4. I'd say that's fairly close!

Thanks to all who participated in this contest! It was a fun distraction from the usual forum content and it's pretty cool to see what ideas people have when presented with a theme to take screenshots around.

Re-voted due to Rina's Frozen pic being the wrong one, which did swing my vote back to Rina. That is what I get for voting at damn near 2am and not noticing lol.

Rina gets my vote and here is why~

She tended to have more facial expressions in her photos than Valintine. The facial expressions really warm up the photo/SS.
Also, there was far less clipping. ~_~;; Sorry, the clipping really gets to me.

Anyroad, really good job ladies! All of you did really well! ^_^ I'm looking forward to Cycle 2!

I tallied the votes and Valintine is leading 9 to 5..

I did not count two votes for Val because it is stated to vote who you think should win AND WHY.

Since I didn't post why, here it is. Valentine gets my vote because I feel she was more creative in her poses and angels. A lot of the effects she managed to get make for great pictures. Nothing against Rina though. Congrats to everyone! I had so much fun participating and I am so glad I did.
