    Let's see yer best ‘flash, bang, wallop’ screenshot

    So this week’s mission is about the weather BUT (for this week only) you may go all out and edit your screenshot.

    Good luck me hearties!

    To add you screenshot, upload it to a photo hosting site (like ImgBB) then copy/paste the link straight into your post leaving a blank line between your link and your text.

    There is only ONE winner (unless otherwise stated) regardless of how many are in your pic. You post it, you’re in with a winning chance :)
    Note that only your first screenshot will be accepted, all others will be ignored and it must be posted in the competition thread. Please make sure screenshots taken are your own, or you have permission to post.
    No editing, apart from cropping, allowed please. allowed for this screenshot comp only

    Codes will now be applied direct to the winning Gamertag :D

    May the most creative Pirate win!

    Lootin' Lizalaroo

    Any weather.... sunshine, fog, rain, thunder, lightning.

    Then take your weather screenshot and edit it to your hearts content. There’s been so many comments about winning pictures that have been ‘edited’ that this week you can edit however you like, but only for THIS competition. So.... all you creative pirates out there can put your money where your mouth is and WOW me.

    Also, NO randomiser, I shall pick, and there will be no complaining lol the winner will just be ‘the winner’ ok?

    Does "Flash, bang, wallop" mean thunder/lightning strike? Never heard of such a phrase nor have I had any luck finding its meaning on the Internet.

    @lizalaroo is the randomizer used to pick the winner from the best entries going to be used going forward or was that just used last week?

    How much editing is actually allowed? Are we talking some nice clean ups to make the picture look better, or are we allowed to go bananas and paste Jack Sparrow and a gigant T-Rex into the picture if we want to?

    My understanding while reading the lyrics from the song "Flash, Bang, Wallop!" by Tommy Steele is this following:

    "'Old it, flash, bang, wallop, what a picture
    What a picture, what a photograph"

    It's taling about the photograph. It doesn't really speak of any specific. Just that one amazing shot.

    Thank you. I personally feel better knowing that the winning picture will be chosen by a human going forward, even if it's an extremely tough call for you to make. Gonna sit this one out because my editing skills are...as existant as the shrouded ghost, but good luck to everyone this week!

    Looking at the posts in this thread makes me think a Photoshop competition was a good idea. Definitely would love to see it in the future in moderation.

    I would personally say no to that. It just takes one insanely good and creative person in photoshop to make a glorious picture, and most people aren't that familiar with photoshop at all. So overall is a unfair advantage in a competition based on the fact and anyone can take a screenshot in game and have a chance to win.

    This is a competition about good and creative screen captures, not photoshop skills.

    Meaning what? Are you saying that we can’t use any pictures that we submitted in the past? Honestly, I have no idea which pictures were considered for the prize in the past.

    @mathemoto I think Photoshop opens up a lot of creativity for storytelling outside of having 2 crews on a server to take a screenshot. With that being said, I do think a simple, creative screenshot is far more creative than a Photoshopped one. That's why I said: "...in moderation.".
