The screenshot contest in hindsight

I didn’t participate myself, but it was fun browsing through the entries. There were a lot of great shots, but unfortunately only few could win!

If this sort of contest is done again in the future, I would like to see separated categories for modded screenshots and genuine screenshots. With SkacikPL’s excellent Photomode-mod, in combination with other mods, one can create stunning images for practically any type of category. However in my opinion there is a difference between composing artwork in this manner and taking a traditional screenshot.

In “Vista” category it was pretty much given that one should use mods to get the most beautiful end result, but in the other two categories I found it hard to compare composed screenshots to organic screenshots.

I’m curious if anyone else felt this way. That being said I did enjoy seeing all of the entries!
