  1. That's unfortunate, but if you'd like to share them here I think we'd all love to see them. Contest eligibility or no, we're all here to share and enjoy the attempts we came up with.
  2. This picture is stunning, and all the thought and patience you poured into it absolutely paid off. I adore this image and you have every right to be proud of it. This really is beautiful piece and the red guy anchoring it just completes the look. Never put much thought into Ord Mantell's nature scenery before, but this image has definitely changed how I look at that planet. I really like this one, but that might just be that I'm a sucker for gloomy tunnels. Love the lighting an color scheme. The fullscreen is also makes for a fantastic visual. I cannot stress to you enough how jealous I am of this image. It's like everything I tried to capture, but dramatically better in every way. Seriously good stuff. You're making me want to spend time on Tython here. I haven't wanted to do that in years. Also very much like this one, and glad you kept it around and shared it. The arrangement of everything through the haze is fantastic. Lovely color and framing at work here. You know, I really don't need a lot in this shot to stare at it for awhile. The highlighting of the dunes is simply enthralling. It's a surprisingly complex mesa for scenery, isn't it ? Love the depth of background and the way the scene appears to divide diagonally.
  3. These are all fantastic, and I was going to hold off on posting my own until after the winner's had been announced, but now I'm just feeling giddy about it. As an unfortunate point, I pruned out my extra shots as I went along (found that I was unable to take screenshots at times and thought it was a full folder kind of thing - realized after that I was on an alt and just forgot to map the screenshot key to my keyboard. Very loud facepalm immediately followed). Also only submitted half of the planets, either because I felt other people would be more familiar with them or relative certainty that someone was already standing there taking a picture of the same thing I saw. So anyways, this is what I've got: Entries: Hutta: https://imgur.com/a/1IV9l2e Wanted to catch the opulence of the Hutts against the environment they created. Think I succeeded on first part, but fell short on the second - which was a running problem for me on Hutta. But I just kept finding myself staring at that palace, so I pulled the trigger on it. Tatooine: https://imgur.com/a/aKA20kd One of the two shot I came here for. I remembered stopping here years ago outside the exchange base because I found the landscape with all of its rock faces and elevations exquisite. I cannot tell you how thrilled I was to find it still held up. The terrain, shadows, colors, and arrangement all just mix so beautifully, and I really think It covers the entire range of Tatooine. If there's any downside, I'd say it's a touch too busy, but my alternative shots just didn't draw the eye quite the same. Makeb: https://imgur.com/a/0llWMH0 The other one i came here for. Way back when Makeb first released, I had some pretty junky internet and subsequent lag spikes. Wound up falling below one of the mining platforms, but it was so laggy I could just move around where I landed because I was in a Schrodinger state of not-dead-yet. And I remember looking up and finding that view breathtaking. So flash forward to today, and I swear it still looks like an oil painting. Covers pretty much all of Makeb too, from the natural spires, to Hutts' mining ops, to Regulators' hardware, to the scenic vistas of a resort planet. So anyways, regardless if it does anything in the contest, I'm never going to forget this view. Zakuul: https://imgur.com/a/GW5vRuS I, too, love the art deco styling of Zakuulian culture. But it also has an element of brutalism in all of these skyscraper faces in tight formation that really just lends a subtle undercurrent of oppression. So this is all to say that I really wanted to capture a city skyline. But, finding unique and particularly eye-catching buildings to anchor the image on was a bit of a challenge. For me, I found the last chapter of KOTET had the best selection with five such buildings in close proximity, warm dusky hues, abundance of foliage, and floating ships of the eternal throne which directly tied to it's military symbolism. Nevermind that I had to time the shots so it wouldn't show the city in the throes of decimation (or at least the ember marks can be confused with traffic in the distance). Downside is - and I realized this one after the submitting it - It's kinda similiar the the loading splash screen. Still a good image, just hoping it's different enough. Mek-sha: https://imgur.com/a/62Yt4O3 More of a simple one, I like the gloomy, cyberpunk-ish feel of an alleyway that's cramped yet most empty, dark and strikingly colorful, short in distance but visually looks longer. For an outpost that's almost entirely underbelly, I think this works. Also, sorry for the wall of text.
