Great thread, well done guys. Did not intend to buy this, but changed my mind after seeing these.
Here's my entry:
I love this contest. Here's my entry, I think this sums up the ideology of this game perfectly... I title this, "A Man and His Thoughts"
I chose this one because I liked how Delsin is looking to the city from afar, and especially the lighting of the shot. The shot overall just really stuck out to me.
I found this one to be nice because it's a bit different. It makes it seem like Delsin is in a field rather than in the city or the outskirts of it. The time of day and how Delsin is blacked out really add to it.Here is mine.
Might change it. I dunno.
There's already a bunch I've seen from gaf that are better, but I'll toss mine in nonetheless.
It's only been rotated, may change it.
Final submission.
Not nearly as fancy as the others in here but I thought the framing came out really well. It was also a complete accident. I caught Delsin before the dash effect kicked in and didn't even realize I was by the Space Needle when I paused.
This shot gives me the goosebumps. It is so evocative that it belongs in an art gallery. From a technical standpoint, the framing and composition is impeccable. Also, this is one of the few orbital drop shots where the city below isn't suffering from wild distortion. The duality in this scene cannot go unnoticed. The way his body arches backward and downward, while the particles appear to go upward evokes two contradictory ideas. If you aren't aware of the game, you wouldn't know if he is alive and is going to come down crashing on his foes or if he is dead and is being pulled towards the heavens by an invisible string. The use of black and white fits the scene both in style and theme. The fact that the game identifies itself with absolute duality, Good and Evil, adds another layer worth appreciating in this shot. In a thread flooded with amazing and competent orbital drop captures, this one manages to take my breath away every single time!
Didn't get picked either but it's all good (I'm actually surprised that yours didn't if I'm honest, Kane) but it has been great being able to take part in something like this (and the photo mode OT) with you all

I'm curious, what was the approximate total of entries the judges had to sift through?
Thankyou!I counted 133 entries.
I uploaded them all to one place. Unfortunately they add some compression.

I think you've set it to private mate. Say's "not publicly available"
Yep, it was default setting. Now I also see there's high quality option. I'll upload again then.
Congrats to all the nominees! Amazing shots everybody, Magicman has to decide now must be really hard for him.
And Kane, I'm waiting for my new HTC to put your shot as my first background!
