[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> :: “These are all excellent entries! I like the one that I chose for 1st place, though, because it made use of the many elements of Captain Jack while bringing the viewer's focus in on one aspect. The layout, the colors, all appealed to me the most.” –Enneleyn
>>>>>> <b>Tintinnabulator</b> :: “I like the blending of the texture and your pictures, especially with the largest one on the left. The upside-down Jack is funny.

” -~Riniel of Rivendell~
“Love the coloring! It really brings in Jack's humor.

Him upside down is a nice touch.

Though I would try to make the second Jack from the right blend in a little.

” –Taurquende
“Oooh I love the golden color, and how you used that one picture, in three different ways. It look really amazing!

(I
love the "Savvy?" quote!

)” -Venessiel
>>>>>> <b>Rose of Rivendell</b> :: “I like how Jack is black-and white and faded into the parchment background, sort of making him look legendary.” -~Riniel of Rivendell~
“Creative use of brushes and textures! I like how the red text pops, and also like the font! I would try to take away more of the fog surrounding the middle Jack, however.

” –Taurquende
“Very nice Rose! I really like how it's a sepia color, and how it has the paper, torn effect. And the red text looks great with it!

” –Venessiel
>>>>>> <b>Elven Archer</b> :: “I love how the colors and pictures go together so great. The font for ‘Jack Is back’ works really well, too.” -~Riniel of Rivendell~
“Wonderful! Great blending, and it's so colorful! Loving the texture, and the faint ink splots. Makes it very full and exciting.

” –Taurquende
“Bleh! Me no likey this one.” –Venessiel [Kit: too bad!]
>>>>>> <b>Erurainon</b> :: “The colors on Jack blend so seamlessly! Really a beautiful picture.” -~Riniel of Rivendell~
“Preeeety! It's neat how he kind of makes an appearance, as he gradually gets bigger. Text is awesome! My only problem is that it's a little empty looking, but still gorgous.

” –Taurquende
“The blending and colours are spectacular, I love how sharp and crisp it all looks! Great job!” –Sisilcal
“Oh I love, love, love these colors! Your blending is amazing and....and...it's just an amazing blend!

” -Venessiel
>>>>>> <b>smeagollum</b> :: “Neat idea, using film. I love the little skeleton stamp, it’s real cute [in a piratey way of course

]” -~Riniel of Rivendell~
“Just... awesome! Really makes a statement. Love your creativity!” –Taurquende
“The colours in this are just lovely! I love that row of pictures along the bottom - unusual, but it works! And the text... genius.

” –Sisilcal
“Okay....I really like this one. It's great how it very close up on Jack, and then it has the film strip on the bottom. The colors are beautiful...kind of muted but still bright. I love it!

” –Venessiel
>>>>>> <b>ViviElessar</b> :: “The colors are incredible! The background picture of Jack really looks stunning.” -~Riniel of Rivendell~
“Very unique and fiery! It catches your eye and holds you. Very cool.

” –Taurquende
“Wow....this is a very interesting blend. You picked some interesting colors...but they look pretty cool! I like how you repeated the one picture in three different tones...and the swords brush look neat!

” -Venessiel
>>>>>> <B>Freya Baggins</b> :: “It’s cool how all of your pictures are in the clouds, a neat design effect. They could have been blended a bit more but I like the idea.” -~Riniel of Rivendell~
“Good blending, and neat text! I would suggest some color and texture to make it more interesting.

Great start, though.

” –Taurquende
“Very simple, and very nice. I like your blending...it could use some color, but other than that it's a great blend!

Love the text.” -Venessiel
>>>>>> <b>Gilraen Ringeril</b> :: “Wow, I’ve been mentioning colors a lot, but I really like how you used a wide range of bright colors on top of Jack. It’s a neat effect.

” -~Riniel of Rivendell~
“Yay, glowyness!

It's very simple but still has a lot of personality!” –Taurquende
“Even though there's only one photo in this, it's exciting and pleasing to the eye. I love the brush you used underneath the text, it adds a nice touch and gives it something extra.” –Sisilcal
“Oooh rainbowy! Lol, I really like it....it's nice how it's just one picture. Your text looks great, the colors look great....it's great!

” -Venessiel
>>>>>> <b>Johnny's Fan</b> :: “Squee! The colors, the font, the texture, it’s all perfect for the blend. Love it!” -~Riniel of Rivendell~
“Wow!

It just embraces all things pirate! It's amazing!

” –Taurquende
“I love the oldish feel to this - yet it doesn't look drab and bland, the bright colours really liven it up! I love the font you used for "Jack Sparrow", I'll have to be asking what the font is because it's perfect!

” –Sisilcal
“Okay....this is amazing!

I really, really like the colors, and the star brushes to make it all sparkly....your blending is just amazing and....I loveses it so much!” -Venessiel
