Unofficial Screenshot Competition - Week 48

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, December 1st and will be judged by me - Craigie-C

In the event of this weeks winner not responding by 5:00 PM GMT Sunday, December 3rd, a new thread will be created using the theme with the highest votes in this weeks poll.
Theme for this week : Passenger Transport

Feel free to interpret the theme however you wish.
Good luck to all, but most importantly, remember to have fun.

Hi all, decision time has arrived. Firstly can I thank you all for a wonderfully diverse selection of shots around the theme of Passenger Transport, however I have managed to weedle them down to the following podium placings:-
In joint Bronze position is georgeuk90 and malikrthr for their respective 4CEP and Acela Express contributions.
Completely different subject matters and styles but most enjoyable nonetheless..

Joint Silver podium placings are awarded to cscarpenter for this all encompassing modes of transport image, great composition and lighting.

and Blazin for this wonderful shot of a South African passenger train not often seen in TSC screenshots.

Finally this weeks Gold podium spot goes to paulc for this classic city commuter shot of a 323 on the Birmingham - Lichfield line

Thanks to you all for taking the time to contribute, and I now leave you in the safe hands of paulc to lead us forward to Week 49, can't wait to see what theme we have to play around with.

 

I would also like to add an honourable mention to triznya.andras for this cracking moody New York - New Haven image.

and cscarpenter for these wonderful Nodding Donkeys, although you might not agree if you ever had to travel on one for real LOL.

and finally malikrthr for this lovely low down capture of an Amtrak Express.
