Thanks! Smile Just a red sheet of paper...Joyful_2 (simple, but very effective)
edit: Sorry, I already ate them Grin (they were not very tasty though... maybe because it´s Feb? XD)
Here is my entry, a Fox in the Snow. It looks kinda LQ on my side, but the photo itself is nice at least.

I tried to get the sunlight to reflect nicely off the bey, but that didn't really work out. Edit: Does this work? For some reason the image won't show up normally.
Great guys! I hope we get those last 5 fives pics though...

EDIT: Make that 4 Grin. It doesn't work Dual...even when I copy and paste the link.
You need the actual image URL which ends with .png, .jpeg, .gif, etc.
Ok, its working for me now.
It works for me. Cool lookin' bey Dual!
Seems like we're getting alot of snow/ice pics XD
Was in a rush to get this one done. We had a bad week due to weather, so I couldn't get much of an opportunity to get a good shot. Had to make due with what I had, and just took it indoors instead.
I used my phone for this one (Galaxy S3). There is an option that makes it so you can only see Red/Yellow colors, so I just used that. Threw the Beyblade on top of some wrapping stuff that was on my Valentine's chocolates, and that's really all. No changes were made after taking the picture, not even cropping.
What's this?

That's not the whole picture.

I don't see it and his post isn't edited... Wierd :\

EDIT: I thought you meant the top of the computer screen, but I'm guess you mean the blotches. I'm curious to know what that is also.

Maybe it's my screen, but here's the whole picture, the mistakes are still apparent.

That looks so edited, you can even see the original colored pixels .. Confused
Yeah, those blotches are wierd... Mind explaining Nano?
Shadow from the lamp above. If I need to, I can take a screenshot of before taking the picture. Since the phone was set up to only see a certain color, the shadow formed by the light angle made that part turn grey. You can ask sarabscientist about it, since I believe they also have a Galaxy S3.
TheWhiteTiger: well, it was good and I'm a sucker for Wolborg Ice/snow (one other thing i didnt like was hiw it was obviously not natural ice.) photos, but it was kinda mediocre. Overall: 6/10

Nano: I will be looking into this photo, to see if its edited. Those blotches are could be caused my editing. Besides that; it was too much like Angry's 1st round photo. Overall: undecided until I find out for sure if its edited or not.

Stoney2208: I loved it again. The valentines effect was really cool and it all fit (the strawberries, bey, backaround etc.) in amazingly. Overall: 10/10

Angry: I loved it again. It was very creative and an overall nice pic Smile. Overall: 10/10

Tri/PRO SEAGULL: the snow fox concept was really cool, but again, your last pic was also a snow pic, just try to be a bit more creative next time Smile. 6/10

Dual: I certainly didnt love this. It just wasn't too creative (Too many snow and ice pics this round ..) and kinda bland. The light effect you were going for didn't work well, maybe a closer up pic would have helped. Overall: 2/10

Note to everybody that didnt get really good overalls; don't give up! Just use the advice I gave and you'll do better Joyful_3


Also, the eliminated people are obviously MidnightLWBO and Aquamarine since they didnt turn in their pics.

Round 3 begins now! It will end a minute before midnight (central time) Friday Feb. 21st as usual.
Mine is creative, if I have snow and it complements they bey well, I am gonna use it. Not saying your criticism is bad, just thought I'd say that. I think the word you meant was unique or something like that.

Yeah, that's what I meant. One of the main goals of this contest is to have a new and Original pic every round.

EDIT: all round 2 entry's have been added to the OP.
EDIT 2: the suspense of the top 6 round... All of you guys worked hard to get here and I hope you guys we enjoying it Smile. I am XD. Also, I'm amazed at how on schedule and smoothly this is going Grin
I agree my picture wasn't as good as I wanted, but I don't think I should lose points because of snow, as it's all I got as far as the outdoors, which is where I prefer to take pictures. Plus, logically if my snow picture wasn't creative, would that not make all the other snow pictures not creative as well?
I'm not disagreeing, just pointing a few things out.

i didn't neccusarely deduct points because of snow, I just mentioned that they were alot of snow/ice pics.
TheWhiteTiger: I deducted points cuz the ice didnt look natural and wolborg Ice/Snow pics are a little mediocre.
Tri: I deducted points because he had a snow pic the last round.
You: I deducted points cuz it in plain snow was kinda bland, the light effect didnt work too well and I didn't like the gold in the snow.

I hope this doesn't discourage you guys in any way, just work on it. Don't give up.
I don't see how you think mine is edited. The way the settings where on my phone, it allows only a certain color to show. Those areas of grey are caused by the shadows, which make the area turn non red. Red light isn't projecting off of the area, therefore the area will not show up in color on the photo.
If you want, I can retake the photo using a different setting, and use that instead.

I have reason to believe otherwise. But this should be resolved in a couple dat at most

Would you mind stating those reasons?

When editting there is an effect that can be used to create those blotches, it happens when blending colors.
