Yeah I know... that's out of context. That was for the Costume Contest. For a contest where you are judging a costume, obviously you want a physical costume to judge... Not anything superimposed or "enhanced." It was very important for that contest to be an authentic representation of your costume.

Jeff and TM1's use of photoshop to enhance the dramatic effects of the photo were pretty cool; that's all I'm saying. Some elitist photographers scoff photoshop, but if you're going to do that you may as well scoff special effects in films too... Because they are also not real.

Now, had he added a bunch of AEGs that he doesn't actually own to his photo using photoshop... That might be pushing it. But anyway, this is going way off topic :)

I mean, seriously - the guy who got second place, the front sight block on his m16a1 is on backwards.

Not Impressed.

If you guys read his photo comments, he explained that he did it because a screw came off, and that it was the only fix at the time...

Face it, the whole thing was a popularity contest. If it wasn't, Beran would have won, hands down. Not only is his pic Punisher related, it showcases a great arsenal.

To AP administrator,

First, I would like to congratulate you guys for having a great idea about this contest. I think it was a great idea. However, the execution of this idea has problem and I hope you guys can learn from the mistakes and improve in the future.

Problem 1: The contest criteria/rule was not clear. Everyone entered the contest with different understanding. Who would think the winner was the one who used Photoshop??? (I have nothing against the winner since I think his Photoshop work was great but it would be more appropriate if we have a contest about using Photoshop).

Problem 2: I did not sign up to the contest to be spammed everyday via text messaging. I talked to almost everyone that I know who voted for the contest. Everyone got spammed text messages from you guys. That really sucks. It costs $ for receiving the text messages. I know that you guys went to another third party group to do this. Do something about this. What you need to know is that every time we receive a spammed message, we have to curse. And you know, we all curse whom.

I typically don't post this kind of comments. However, one or more spammed text messages a day. That's just pure evil. I can't take it anymore.

Note: If the issue is not resolved somehow. Consider to be spammed back with this post everywhere on the forum until my message is heard. All I ask is to STOP spamming us via text messaging.

we have nothing to do with the text messaging, and if you did a tiny bit of searching, you would see the post where i show how to keep from being harassed by 43kix.com.
