    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.
    • Each week's winner becomes Judge & Jury for the week (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
    The theme this week is The Moon.
    Please Interpret in any way you wish.

    Entries will close at 9:00 PM GMT on Friday, September 8th and will be judged by me Craigie-C

    In the event of this week's winner not responding by 5:00 PM GMT Sunday, September 10th,
    a new thread will be created using the theme with the highest votes in this weeks poll.
    Good luck and have fun!

    The moon still makes itself clear in the sky as the sun begins to rise on ScotRail Class 68 '68006' 'Daring' leading a Fife Circle Line service to Edinburgh Waverley after recently having departed from Glenrothes with Thornton during the Autumn of 2019.

    ... and the curse of the deadline strikes again! :)
    Craigie-C wasn't around too much. In case he doesn't show, voting shot #9.
    Mandatory plug of changing to Monday. ;)

    It said Craigie-C was active earlier so hopefully he will see us tagging him and remember to judge the contest.

    Hi guys, please accept my sincere apologies for not responding to the deadline sooner, there has been a lot going on family wise of late, father with dementia, care homes etc.to sort, afraid my head has been a bit all over the place.
    Anyways enough of my problems, I announce my decision as follows.
    In joint 3rd place I'm a railfan obviously for this beautiful alpine scene.
    Screenshot_Semmeringbahn_47.68799-15.87065_08-03-13.jpg
    and cscarpenter for this last minute Class 50 Pullman offering.
    20230908135501_1.jpg
    I award joint 2nd place to Blazin for this Metronom 146 image DB Class 146 4.jpg
    and georgeuk90 for this completely different angle on the theme, well done. 20230903215158_1.jpg
    which leaves me with just one last task which is to announce the Winner of Week 36 as
    Pookeyhead
    for this stunning wherry lines scene. Just loved how the Moon really stood out as a focal point and mirrored by the glow of the Signal Box Light. Terrific shot well done.
    24010_20230324070608_1.jpg
    Over to you good sir, to lead us through week 37.
    I would also like to offer an honourable mention to those of you that did not quite make the podium this week but still provided a serious challenge in making a final decision.
    Again my apologies for my tardiness hopefully we should be back to some type of normality moving forward.
    Thanks all.

    Congratulations to the winners and thank you very much for 2nd place.

    Thank you very much for being able to judge the competition this week Craigie-C despite the unfortunate circumstances. I hope your family issues manage to sort itself out. If you ever need a break from judging due to issues like these, feel free to let us know and I am sure we are all happy for another person to take over judging.

    I for one understand. Got exactly the same issues going on here as well, with both parents. I absolutely get it.

    Thanks for that it is genuinely appreciated, nice to know support is there if needed, cheers.

    Absolutely awful isn't it, you would not wish it on your worst enemy let alone your closest relatives. At the age of 90 & 88 we hoped they might have dodged the dreaded "D" word, but no it had to have the last say.
    Thanks for your words of support it is much appreciated.

    Congratulations :)
    No worries Craig, quite the opposite. I hope you'll find ample support and able to handle it as well as possible. Same for Mr. P.
