[Mercury 7] Photo Competition

Mercury 7 Screenshot Competition

We are bound to find some incredibly beautiful locations on our 3 month trip, so I thought we may as well have a little contest.

The rules are simple: Any location will do. SRVs and ships can be in the shot, but they dont have to be. No editing of the shots please. Each CMDR can enter one photo per week, which will be judged at each Waypoint. The winners of each Waypoint will go through to final judging, but only one entry per CMDR can go through. This means that if you win more than one Waypoint, you will need to choose which one goes to the final judging, one of the runner up shots will take the other place.

First prize: A paintjob or shipkit of your choice from the FD store
Second prize: A flight suit pack of your choice from the FD store
Third prize: a ship nameplate of your choice from the FD store.

Waypoint 5 results posted. I suppose I expected this one would not attract so many entries, since many will be waiting for the 2.3 camera. Great entries all the same.
 
And so for the final result!

1st Place: Blizzardwuffy


2nd Place: Smudge-o-tron


3rd Place: Alac


Congratulations to everyone who entered, there were some amazing screenshots, and it was really hard to choose the final winners. Thank you all, it has been a great pleasure to be on the expedition with you.

o7 Commanders!
