February 2014 Screencap writeup

Last month's theme was Rage. There weren't too many entries, but some really nice ones showed up in just the last few days.

It took me quite some time to choose the winner this month... I really liked several of the images, but in the end.. I kept finding myself going back to one in particular. I love the angle of the scene and how it draws your eye across the bow of the ship, over weapons and straight to the explosion. Very well composed shot from a great looking mod.

CKid wins the first month of the year with this one.

Honorable mention to [url=http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=86466.msg1729900#msg1729900]Droid's post[/url] because that was full of win. Although, I was properly quoted as saying I didn't care what was in the image.. I thought it went without saying that these are meant to be in-mission screenshots! But I give Droid and Lorric extra props for thinking outside the skybox. (C wut I did thar?)

Screencap Scoreboard:
[b]Ckid - 1[/b]

As a reminder, we're going to do things slightly differently this year. Our many campaigns are filled with emotional ups, downs, and/or lackthereof. So we'll highlight that with a whole year's worth of emotional themes. I don't care what's in the image as long as it portrays the particular feeling for the month. And yes, February [i]is[/i] be the month of Love. (I recommend lots of red or pink colored images!)
