    A million times YES!

    Vahn's picture is exactly what I mean. It is to date my personal favorite because of all the elements of the photo coming together and he is still the primary focus. It has the movie star on a poster feel. Whether everything was intentional or not is another story.

    Thanks ... it was a pre-planned thing, had an idea and put it into work.

    I wanted to mention tho that I am not against "simple" shots. Actually I kind of like Yunie's snow picture better than the waterfall one that you compared it to. My reason for this is, that it's honestly alot harder than you might think in order to get the right angle/lighting/focus in the whole picture at once. 1 tiny mouse slip to the left or 1 misstep to the right can ruin the whole photo, sounds crazy but it's true.

    Don't forget that weather effects and lighting only last a certain amount of time in game. So if you want to take a pic at noon, you got like 5 mins before the lighting is completely different. Ciara takes some really nice "simpler" shots and IMO if you can make a simple shot look amazing then it takes alot of skill.

    That hullbreaker one took 2 days and 150+ screenshots to finally get the right one lol... I'm sure other models go through tons of photos to finally get "the one" to use.
