leo_ant and drakkie, need to watch their horizons! level that shit out!

(drakkie, if urs was intentional i could see where ur going but IMO i dont think it works. i would try level or a more extreme tilt so it does just look like an accident. it might be interesting if the switchgear lever was straight up and down while everything else is tilted. i would try a few different arrangements out.)

rik, urs seems crooked to me as well but i cant tell if its just the angle of the swan that makes it look like that. i think u need to rotate it clockwise a tad.

You should buy a new screen / stop cheating. All your shots are edited to look completely unnatural. It's amazing that you are still allowed to enter these competitions.

It's done. And I'm done with pseudo-pros too. Continue with your competitions and your site and have fun.

The site has nothing to do with the actions of some members. And if we quit everytime someone wants to take the fun from he experience of being here, we'll be letting the boring ones win. Please keep entering your original pics because there are people here who can see past the pseudo-professionalism.
