It was suppossed to look icy I guess I should have mentioned that earlier. Here are some rates.

emilin: I really like the small town feel, it's very quaint. 9/10

capitol: 7/10 I like the interchange but it's empty.

Dark_Jedi06: Wow, All your pictures are amazing. 10/10 I like the light effect that you did. Everything is spectacular!

You can get that land-water effect by making high cliffs like this...

END RESULT:

[mjig_dudy 11]

ilikehotdogsalot: I really really like it. I love the icy effect 10/10. I have question: what happened to your waves? In the first picture of your 2nd post there aren't any waves as there usually are at the shore in SC4. I am asking because i was recently trying to make a modd that gets rid of waves as this would be useful when making small rivers and couldn't figure it out.

Dark_Jedi06: looks great! i love the uses of diagonals. The lighting effects are perfect. this is one of the best pictures i have ever seen! 11/10

[st louis dude 6]

How do you take such long pictures? Teach me!

[mjig_dudy 11]

st louis dude: Take several pictures and piece them together in photoshop.

[masochist 111]

mjig_dudy: I think there's an option in SC4 to turn waves off, isn't there?  I may be wrong...

ilikehotdogsalot: Nice chilling effects!  Makes me colder than I already am (which is a bad thing, because my fingers are numb...).  Even better now that I know what the original looks like!  9.0/10 (bonus point for being in season...in America, at least...)

Dark_Jedi06: Good mosaic!  I like the use of all the asian buildings.  I also like how there's so much open space, but still so much to look at !  I don't particularly care for that rail line, just because it's a wide stripe of dirt in the middle of all the green, but that's just me...great pic overall! 8.75/10

Nice job everyone!

nedal2001:  I really look forward to your CJ, that is one of the best shots I have seen, 10/10

seemurray2:   You do great work as well, I plan to check out your CJ, 10/10

emilin: Nice pic, I have a similar shot of one of my towns, very rural and peaceful.  9/10

Here's a shot of Hermann Park at Fork Station home to the La Salle Expolorers.

[The_sanderson 6]

Nice image!!!I

[crazychickensc12 84]

Ilikehotdogsalot - ILHDA lol awesome picture love the icy effect but in some places it just doesnt belong there lol..still beautiful though 9/10

Dark_Jedi06 awesome mosaic and photoshopping, love the open spaces yet every tile is filled up and flows together, 9.67/10

And when are we gonna see an update in your CJ, I love your work!!

Sparks1176 very nice pic although there is not much to it, i do like the crisp clearness of the image though 9.2/10

[Waz_Up_Tiger 1]

Dark_Jedi06- Wow.. 10/10.. speechless

Sparks1176- 8/10 its good but its basiclly the baseball stadium, which Maxis did a good job on I think

[Emerikol 0]

Guess I will go ahead and submit one. Nothing fancy, but it shows off Peg's  great  stuff

[Sparks1176 1]

Waz Up Tiger: Sparks1176- 8/10 its good but its basiclly the baseball stadium, which Maxis did a good job on I think

This is a good reason why I stopped posting pics, because no matter what I do it never seems to be good enough, lol.  I give up.  Thank you for pointing out that it's basically a baseball stadium.  I am very aware of that, and as hundreds of others have used Maxis' Stadium for their ballparks, but you have to use your imagination.  I thought and feel that it's a little more than a ballpark shot.  It's a night game with a sold out crowd with the Explorers on the field with a KSIM News Helicopter flying over head.  Also has the Wellington Condos overlooking the field, where you can see chairs and picnic tables set up to enjoy the games from the rooftop, (kinda like Wrigley Field) as well as a nice park area outside left field of the ballpark.  But I am glad that all you got out of the shot was a Maxis Baseball Stadium.  Very observant.

It really isn't my problem, but from what I can teel this is one of the nicest and most civil internet communities I have ever seen. Don't ruin it by whining over what? - an 8/10 rating for a picture??? I was overjoyed when you rated my little pic as a 9/10... but I guess I could have been asking "Why didn't you give me a 10?" instead.

I see the same thing in the CJ section... people complaining about the lack of comments and asking what they are doing wrong? The answer is most probably: nothing at all. Your work is amazing, it's simply not as amazing, interesting or whatever as the top 5 or 10 citybuilders who has been around for ages and spends all their free time by the computer. And why should there be any shame in that? I don't expect to be as good as crazychickens or aleking and if any of my occational pics get a rating even close to their work I' more than pleased.

Build for fun. Enjoy the feedback, but play the game for yourself.

LP, nice very bright cranes tho, if only roads didnt end like that it would be believable, i know what u tryed todo tho. 7/10

capitol1 huge improvemnt from other pictures, things that look, odd the lake, on the right and the jusnction at the top weird diaginals. good work 6/10

emilin what graphic setting do u have? ok pic like it i usppose but not truthfully inspiring nice lil cutey tho, 6/10

ilikehotdogsalot wicked effect, leave the houses as normal then affect the ship, makes it look like a ghost ship all old abandt and spooky, 8/10

Dark_Jedi06 i dont rate images above 800x600, hence rate one image

ilikehotdogsalot not sure the cliffs are ment to stretch like that nice houses tho, i dont think by the looks of amount of traffic u need it to be roads.. tbh streets are for houses no need for over kill. 6/10

mjig_dudy waves can be turned of in graphic options

Sparks1176 always liked the maxis stadium's nightlighting, nice i like the lil park and the small shop on the corner and after ur lil story the image came alive maybe next post i make i will discuss sounds and smells an heat with it. 7/10 ***maybe u have started soemthing new here, withy every photo uploaded u say wat u can hear smell and the general atmosphere.***

Waz_Up_Tiger maybe overkill on the lighting, 6/10

Emerikol indeed it shows of nice stuff well done shame it wasnt a better quality. 6/10

Becuase people done read rates, here it is again!

***maybe u have started soemthing new here, withy every photo uploaded u say wat u can hear smell and the general atmosphere.***

I HAVE FAIRLY RATED ALL PICTURES TODAY< DON@T MOAN BE HONEST BACK!

[Glenni 1,444]

yeah, i don't know but you could maybe make a lot which is transit enabled to make the road seem like it s going straight into the construction site rather than ending like that.

[st louis dude 6]

Sparks,could you maybe put up some more pics? I'm very impressed.

[KingTitan 6]

Thats a great looking Plaza set-up you have there. It's all in the details. way to go.

[Emerikol 0]

I can deal just fine with a 6/10 here, considering mine was created just for fun with almost no editing Some of you have some excellent pics that I would'nt mind framing and putting on my wall.

[LP 1]

*looks around* hrm... it decided not to send me any more post notifications...

Anyway, I got some pictures, but I'll wait a bit... since I seem to post far too often.
