Welcome to the Unofficial Screenshot Competition This is a fun and friendly alternative to the official Screenshot Competition run by DTG. Here you can share your weekly themed TSC screenshots using any 3rd party / post shot editing etc. creations which are not allowed in the official competition. Rules: TSC only shots allowed. Screenshot should be in some way (can be very tenuous) linked to the theme. Otherwise anything goes. You can enter up to 3 screenshots, posted as separate posts. You can delete and replace if you wish. 3rd party content / Reshades / Reskins etc. are welcomed but are not mandatory. 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). The Judge of the week's decision is final. We strongly discourage any negative comment or criticism of another entry by a fellow contributor, this is a light hearted & fun contest! This is a major "we are all friendly" thread and we hope it will always remain so. Please keep chat to an absolute minimum. Entries will close at 9:00 PM GMT on Friday, April 28th and will be judged by me - I'm a railfan obviously In the event of this weeks winner not responding by 5:00 PM GMT Sunday, April 30th, a new thread will be created using the theme with the highest votes in this weeks poll. This weeks theme is "Low angle". Feel free to interpret however you wish, e.g. complete freight trains, yards full of wagons, loading / unloading, container ports, etc. etc. it's entirely up to you. Good luck to all, but most importantly, remember to have fun.
