Interesting.

uh, I would've loved to compete against you with that theme :embarrassed:

good luck against DM. He's a hell of a opponent!:sly:


and of course good luck to all of you (you too DM :))


also, looking forward for the "contrasts" theme 👍
 
Thanks everyone, let it begin!

I'm just glad that DM gets to work with something other than color lol

Good luck all! :cheers:
 
Street racing - this should be fun. Good luck everyone, I have no doubt we will see some spectacular photos.

Cheers
 
Another multi car theme :( Not feeling my chances this time! Good luck to everyone though.
 
By the way, the banner says Second Round, with the text following it saying First Round ;)

Just saying! The banners look good, and must be pretty time consuming to make! ;)👍

Thanks for the heads up. I already had uploaded the 'new' banners, but forgot to change image link. It's fixed now.
 
I have a feeling that this round could have some surprises in store for us. These four matches are going to be awesome...can't wait!

A quick note to the hosts: Thank you for including so many of my themes in the tournament. It's been very cool to see the outcome - really looking forward to 'contrasts' this week :)
 
So, Minimalism... Definitely not easy.

Good luck, Jason. 👍
 
I haven't even taken my photo yet, let alone edited it. Minecraft is far too addictive...
 
^ You'll have to correct that post. :P

Entry sent just now. 👍
 
Maybe now's not the best time to go for some experimental editing techniques... but I'm really liking what I've come up with :P
