I feel like I've caused enough thread crapping for this entry so I'll stop after this because it was not my intent! I'm not saying I dislike your entry at all, nor am I saying that this is the best entry. But based on Walter's comments, it sounds like he thinks entries like the one with Vader's helmet in the snow are more in the spirit of this contest. If that is what the contest is about, then I don't think this entry or your entry are like that at all. To me, this entry isn't about the minifigs other than the fact that it is unique that they were used to create something that I think is visually interesting, which is what I think the contest is about, regardless of how that is achieved. Your entry is great too, I'm merely saying that if this entry isn't right for the contest, then there are many others that don't meet Walter's artistic merits.

I don't have any horses here, but how is the entry any different than yours, Enpaz? Yours is also a more regular style MOC. The photography for your entry isn't anything better or worse than other MOCs that are regularly posted. People saying this entry doesn't have artistry is one thing (although artistry comes in many different forms), but it probably shouldn't be coming from someone who's own entry is essentially the same thing.

I really like this, I 'm sure you'll get the grain fixed. My only complaint would be that it could use something more Star Warsy. I'm not sure that a casual viewer who didn't read the intro would know that this is something from the Star Wars universe.

I've seen this comment in a couple other entries, but aren't all the entries "just" MOCs? The parameters of the contest are very broad from what I can tell from reading the contest rules. I think the contest is looking for well photographed MOCs. Of course, it doesn't matter what I think since I'm not voting. If by artistry you mean there isn't a minifigure in the foreground with something else going on in the background with various light sources, then yes, this fails. If the contest was supposed to just be close-ups of minifigures doing stuff, again it fails. I like that it isn't just like the rest of the entries.

This looks like an official set. Beautiful creation!
