Unofficial 3rd Party Screenshot Comp - Week 20

Rules:
- Screenshot should be in some way (can be very tenuous) linked to a theme. Otherwise anything goes.
- You can enter up to 3 screenshots, posted as separate posts. You can delete and replace if you wish.
- Entries to be submitted by 5pm Friday, August 13th (PST).
- Previous week's winner to decide winner (can't enter themselves).
- The winner chooses the new theme for next week (and becomes the new judge).

This week's theme is: Yard Goats (switchers/shunters) and will be judged by me, Buynot.

 

Forget goats, floating cows are where it's at

 

Thanks!

May want to set up a theme poll vote for next week, in case the winner will not be able to respond in time with a new theme.

Sorry I'm a little late to judge this, I was a bit busy today and nearly forgot about this!

Here's my picks for this week:

In 3rd place, we have Blacknred81 with a nice shot of a D&RGW SW1200.



In 2nd, we have Ardaeshir with a fantastically edited pic of a little narrow gauge steamer at work.



And in 1st place, I just had to go with Cscarpenter, with their shot of an actual goat taking shelter in a Brake Van.



Great submissions from everybody this week! It was really hard to chose a winner. With that I hand the reigns over to you, Cscarpenter.

 

Congratulations cscarpenter! Really well posed shot, with good lighting. I also liked your black 08 a lot too.

 

YAY!! Thanks for the likes guys, well appreciated.
Happy chappy I is, well apart from not being allowed to play next week LOL.
Will set up next weeks page with the theme of "Not So Fast"
