Like many people, I have hit on the notion of "Noir mode with a single light source looks really good". And to that end I submit this photo of Abby using her flamethrower:

I also liked this shot:

I was originally going to submit this extremely minimalist shot of Ellie's face, but it just turned out too dark on the computer. It had looked good on ps4 though, I must have my brightness set differently:

Thanks. Also thanks again for reminding me about this thread.

I would have done some more from the first half of the game if I'd remembered to actually make some cool shots for this thread sooner than halfway through my third playthrough. If I'd gotten started on it sooner I'd have bounced around a bit more with chapter select. I have a lot of very functional photos of "this game looks cool", but a lot of them aren't really... artsy like you want for a contest.

It's no competition for some of the brilliantly composed shots already posted but this is the best one I've taken so, this is my entry!

Everything is welcomed and while I'm the sole judge this time if struggling to narrow down I will ask my small group of friends of 20+ years to help me so who knows

Don't usually mess with photo modes, but had some fun looking for how emotive the models can be outside of cutscenes. I think the first one will be my entry.

Congrats! Thanks for hosting this Prototype Viktor even if I'm salty I didn't win :D (nah not really)

My favourite entry is probably the 4th place winner. Love that shot.

i've enjoyed taking screenshots of games for a couple of years, but tlou2 and the posts here as well as the best ones over at the photo mode thread inspired me to actually put some real effort into composing pictures with "artistic ambitions".

so yeah, thanks to Prototype Viktor for running the contest and awarding my entry third place, thanks to all the participants, and congrats to all the winners.

now i'm just gonna shamelessly plug my post from the photo mode thread because boy did i take a lot of pictures and boy did that take a lot of time.
