From the admins:

From now on, we intend to have a prize for each official screenshot contest. The surprise is a US $10 gift certificate to Amazon!
We chose Amazon this month because they seem to have one of the largest geographical reaches on the globe, and hey, can't everyone find something they want at Amazon?

My vote goes to funtown... love the time of day and the nice light of the shot..very nice angle there and just the right zoom.... its just a winner

To all the rest very nice entries this month... every month just gets better and better

[wnfaknd]

fly-crj shot is just amazing... that water... wow


rali, bravehart, mango and pavehawk, magnificent shots

[Fox]

Really nice shots guys! This will be a close one.

Hey alio where did you get that plane from?

[alio]

Great shots there, i think i got the plane from www.avsim.com but i can't remember.

[ForD_MusTanG 2005]

yea he got it from avsim u get a clipped wing a float version and ski version plus a boat and car

[funtown34]

I'll start out with my honorable mentions:
Best Scenery: Pavehawk- I LOVE skylines, and I thought it was pretty cool how you got that nice skyline and didn't capture any ground in the shot.
Best Aircraft: Wing_Warrior1- My second favorite airline, and my favorite plane. Hard to beat that.
Best Sky: Mango- This is really one of the best skies I've ever seen, if not the best I've ever seen. The color of the sky and the cumulus clouds is breathtaking, and those nice cirrus clouds just put the icing on the cake.
Best Angle: Fly2e- The zoom is perfect, making the beast look... uhhh... beastly, and that's just a great overall angle there.
Best Image Quality: groudon39- You say you did this with a 64MB card? Wow. Those edges are incredibly smooth and clear. Great job.
2nd Best Shot Overall: groudon39- As I just said, that is an incredibly smooth, clear shot, and that sky is pretty darn good as well with the lightning and great dark blue sky. That 744 looks amazing too. That's the best one in MMP IMO. I believe one thing is holding you back though... GET SOME AI TRAFFIC! Great shot though.

It's come down to this now...

Shot of the Month: *>Pavehawk<*- Your sky is about as breathtaking as Mango's, that skyline is awesome (as I said aboove^), and your shot is about as smooth and clear as groudon's. Just a simply AMAZING shot.

PS: hey Raligard, does your wife play FS too ?   if she does, tell me what you did to convince her play, i really wanna do the same thing here at home..  

[ADSimpson]

I have to go with FLY-CRJ.  I love that water and the Delta 737-700 puts it all together.

[l33t_fly3r]

BAH!! Why do you guys finish entering so early . Wanted to enter this month now I have to wait another month .

Anyways the screenshots this month looks amazing    . All of them look great, but Fly CRJ and the sunset reflection the water just took it . Was a hard vote .

[homersimpson]

Same thing happens to me too UAC, but since i couldnt get mine in, ill vote for PaveHawks.

[AJ N.]

I also vote for funtown.   Umm, I do gots  a question though; how come my pic was within the 20 pics allowed in the contest and you didn't add it here??   

[funtown34]

Thanks a lot AJ. And you shot didn't make it in because it violated this rule:
"Please upload through the multiple upload page of this site"

[JetBlue552]
