Adam: Man you’re kicking ass this round. Great use of costume and location. It’s as if you were out botanizing, but the brutal sun was too much to bare. The disheveled makeup and position of the sun really help set the tone.

Thanks! I really wasn't expecting a lot of people to like it. All the earlier rounds were a big flub on my end and I think that I could have done better. This went through my mind while trying to get the round 4 screenshot! Round 4 has to be my favourite theme out of all of the given themes.

Knowing this, it puts my heart at ease. Thank you sooooooo much!

Marik: You show that big nasty who’s boss Marik. He ruined many of my shots and I shall take great personal joy in his demise. Your shot makes me wish every round was either a lost in the desert or lost at the beach challenge so we could enjoy moar gorgeous, shirtless, man-honeys! I honestly love everything about your outfit setup from the sandals to the jewelry to the shirtless tattoos. Keep kicking ass!

Awww thank you so much Xev!! I greatly appreciate the kind words <3

[Kyri]

I just want to say AMAZING!! All of you did great wonderful shots that make this round soooo hard to pick favorites! absolutely fantastic! Great job! stop panicking! Remember, its always about having fun! If your torn, pick the shot you feel the world just needs to see! voters be damned! That way you'll always have pride towards your shot no matter who great the other ones are <3 In my eyes your all s-rank shots this round though! *many enthusiastic claps!*

TBH I am surprised to not see nearly as many Dune or Mad Max inspired shots this round, Flare seemed to be the only one to truly recreate an iconic Dune scene (sure as hell hope that's what he intended at least, otherwise I feel silly pointing it out lol)

If I were told to do a shot this round like this, I would have tried to recreate some iconic scenes from those 2 cult classics.

ONLY 3!?!?

Tie my hands while your at it why don't you

I got this feel too, glad I wasn't the only one! :3

Sakuraya:[/COLOR] While some of us have given in to the heat, you’re still fighting. A true survivor! I like the way the Amalja is looking down at you and the spear crossing the screen is a trippy effect. Keep being strong girl and show them who’s fierce!

Thank you so much, this really made me smile <3 *HUG*

No one ever sucks here hun^^ credit is given where credit is due it's just there's rounds that suit different people! Where one might not shine very well in one, they blow everyone away in the next! So hold your head up high, and let your imagination roam!

(Believe me I had rounds where I was really really happy with myself and other I just could not for the life of me capture or pull off a idea for, So just have fun with it!^^)

[Rikkustrife]

mine was meant to be a mirage, since that happens spending a lot of time lost in a desert, why else would random people be bowing to her in the desert

I tried to get a distortion effect from heatwaves, like this but for some reason none of them had it

[Jinxie]

Heatwave distortions happen more frequently during high-movement shots. T.T

[Ganglyzilla]

I can't even imagine how much time it takes for everyone to compose such amazing pictures *^* Here's some pictures I took related to the theme
