Great shots, Blazin! I particularly like the first, with the mountain shadows. Did you stage the CP one? It's a neat idea but I think it could use a different weather (sky, light) to really work. The bottom quarter is great on its own, seriously. Not much can be done with the subject's perspective.
Thanks! . Also the Canadian Pacific screenshot is not staged, it was coincidental. I just ran under that bridge in a scenario on the route and I had no idea it was coming so I just went out in free roam, paused and took a screenshot. And at the time I took that screenshot I didn't know how to apply Armstrong Powerhouse Weather Pack to routes so it just has default sky, and since like I said it was a scenario so I couldn't change the weather so not much I could've done about that.

Thread is up! https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/unofficial-screenshot-contest-2022-week-18.54551/ And thanks for choosing me as the winner, I appreciate it a lot. Congratulations to the 2nd and 3rd place winners as well!
With time zone differences, work commitments etc. we is pretty flexible. If it runs a bit late then so be it. That is one of the reasons why I love this thread, it is just a bit of fun and pretty well laid back. We have a great core of folks that contribute and we all work around one another. I originally thought this thread might last for a couple of months and die. but here we are, Year 2, week 17 / 18 and still going. I raise a glass to "Long may we continue"
Apologies for not including this guy in my above comment. It was he who set up the first week and started this thread. Many thanks UP13 hope you are keeping well.
