ME:  Alright, Id like to do something creative. You can call it what you want - just that, "something creative" or "something different" or anything along those lines. Basically I want it to be wide open but it has to be a non-standard or uncommon scenario.


YOU: Soo "Something Creative" - A shot that possesses a creative angle?


ME: Yeah. how bout this - "something creative" - anything goes but it must possess a creative angle.

Again, "angle" was not what I intended it as being understood.  "Angle" for me was a broader sense of approach, not actual view - a non-standard or uncommon scenario.

I originally wanted to call it "something different" .  Should have gone with that.

I imagine everyone assumed it meant camera angle because the angle of a shot is commonly discussed in FS screenshots. "That's a cool angle," "How did you get that angle?", ect.


Exactly.   I should have caught it when he said "angle" the first time because that isnt what I meant or said.

I lol'd. I don't think TND4NOS learnt much, apart from maybe being more specific on the word 'angle'. I don't see what the big deal is. No matter how you percieved the word 'angle' your screenshot would have been valid given the theme (its open to your own interpretation unless specified so in the theme...) And yes I would say the problem has been resolved.

Oh i learnt alot... That a theme if not told properly to the host from the previous winner, can mean complications during a contest.

I agree. This isn't TND4NOS's fault. Plus he on behalf of all moderators, they expect people (in cases involving you avalon) to have big enough brains to produce their own interpretation of an ambiguous theme, rather than ironically disrespecting a moderator by asking him what he learnt in a public forum.

The point is that this was a MUTUAL mistake and should be considered in the future in the interest of being careful.  No disrespect intended, merely clarification of this fact.    Pretty simple really.

I did let it go.  I am merely seeking clarity on all fronts.  

Hopefully this contest will have many entries in the future and be something big again.  Others have said similar things have happened before and it would be cool to see that not happen again.

I have a question. Everytime I want to vote it says that I am not allowed to vote on this , or any poll. Could someone Help? Also, Buziel was right! That little box at the top of the forums is very handy!  :hrmm:

4, just breathtaking.

The majority of the shots are bland, especially #4 despite being a nice shot in terms of realism.

So 4 isn't so breathtaking after all.??  :hrmm:

The theme is a hard one..'Something creative' It's hard to be creative without editing so Kudos to all those that entered.

Yes, number 4 - with the creative angle it was taken on will most likely win. He will then choose Aprils theme.
