[x] Good day to all. This is a contest that which is very much different from all the other general contests. Only this contest, you have to be more creative with a limited amount of choices that are offered to you.
[x] The name of the game: As it is, it is called the Screencapture Contest, and as you may have noticed there are rounds to this contest meaning I will continue with contests in the same routine [with variables...well..varying.

]
[x] Basically I will provide one or more screencaptures of various things. Whether it be Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, a picture of a book, or a landscape capture. You will then use those screencaptures to make your graphic [avatar, banner, etc.].
Rules:
- You must
only use the screencaptures given to you.
- You must use them to make the required graphic (ie. Round: Avatar)
- Your entry must be a newly made entry. [Preferably with some kind of signature.]
- There will be no limit to the entries (meaning any number of people may enter), as long as it is entered by the date. Any entry given latter the date will be shown and recognized but will not be included in the judging (unless given a very good reason as to why you entered late).
[x] Judging: The voting/judging will now be publicly available however the voter must PM me with their votes/comments rather than posting it.
[x] Awards: Awards still are not guaranteed the best in the world. I've gotten better with Photoshop so I've gotten into the habit of making awards for every round.

COMMENTS++++
>>>>>> <b>Everyone</b> :: “There were a lot of beautiful entries in this round, and quite a few that stood out to me in style. Everyone who used text chose interesting quotes or poems.” -Tintinnabulator
“I don't have time right now to comment on everyone's individually, but you all did an amazing job! All of you had such gorgeous and stunning entries! So many unique ideas, it is really awesome to see what you all can do. Hopefully I will have more time to comment the next round, but until then, astonishing job(s) everyone!” –Limwen - Villya
>>>>>> <b>Rose of Rivendell</b> :: “Beautiful colors and blending!

” –Gilraen Ringeril
“Wow, this entry was
pink! It worked well with the picture though. The text was nice, although, the first several times I looked at it, I missed the large text in the center.” –Tintinnabulator
>>>>>> <b>Morwen Anduril</b> :: “I love the colors/texture you used

I might have blending the text more though...it just seems so..."stark" right now

” –Gilraen Ringeril
“I really like the muted colors in this piece. They somehow managed to make the cherry tree blend in, and yet still be a focal point.” –Tintinnabulator
>>>>>> <b>Elven Archer</b> :: “Wow! Just wow! I love the color and textures, and the text...just perfect!!

” –Gilraen Ringeril
“The saturated colors give this one a nice effect, plus the pattern that is barely there.... All very nice.” –Tintinnabulator
“I love the contrast of the blend and the tones used. Very, very good!” -ViviElessar
>>>>>> <b>Firiel</b> :: “I love how you used a white theme. However, I might have made the image a little more visible

” –Gilraen Ringeril
“Making the text the main focus of this by making the cherry blossoms have an icy look was an interesting idea. It worked fairly well, although the text was hard to read at times.” –Tintinnabulator
>>>>>> <b>smeagollum</b> :: “Very unique!

I think I would have used different colors though

” –Gilraen Ringeril
“I think this is one of my favorite quotes in this contest. The box for the text was unique, and the coloring was interesting.” –Tintinnabulator
“This one looks different from the rest. Love the colors used and the text.” -ViviElessar
>>>>>> <b>Valera Elenhathel</b> :: “Cool border type thing!

I like how you brought out the green

” –Gilraen Ringeril
“I like the clean lines this one has, it fits the cherry tree in a way. Again, a great quote.” –Tintinnabulator
“The colors, the blending, the fonts and text; everything looks amazing!” -ViviElessar
>>>>>> <b>ErulisseEnethnin</b> :: “Ooo, it's all glowy and shiny and pretty!!

I love the colors and softness of it!” –Gilraen Ringeril
“I recognize the signature coloring method on this. It gives it a different style, that adds some different textures to the picture.” –Tintinnabulator
“I really loved this one because it looks simple and yet it's perfect. Great work!!” -ViviElessar
>>>>>> <b>Caunion the Frostlord</b> :: “I love the texture/colors you used

However, the text seems to...light and pink. I'd make it a darker color and blend it more

” –Gilraen Ringeril
“Another great picture. The texture used really gave the wallpaper more body than the original picture had.” -Tintinnabulator
>>>>>> <b>~RinielAranel~</b> :: “Another unique piece! I love the little 'movie strip'

However, I would have made the piece more contrasted =]” –Gilraen Ringeril
“The filmstrip is
very unique! It's perfect for the quote, and adds an interesting way to put in more pictures.” -Tintinnabulator
>>>>>> <b>Riniel Anariel</b> :: “Absolutely
perfect!!

There is nothing you could improve!! The colors are amazing, the text is amazing, the border is amazing...everything is amazing!!” –Gilraen Ringeril
“The texture and text effect are both great. The coloring is unique, and as my brother said, "It's purttyful."” –Tintinnabulator
>>>>>> <b>Johnny's Fan</b> :: “I love the colors! And the texture is very nice too

I would have maybe brought the image out more/sharpened it

” –Gilraen Ringeril
“I really like the aged effect on this one. All the textures add a interesting touch.” -Tintinnabulator
