Castle Rowador

Post by ClassicCastlesetsftw »

Castle Rowador! The Black knights are returning home from a war and all is peaceful in the castle, except for a theif who foolishly thought he could get away with stealing a barrel of the kings ale. I know it might ot be as great as some of the castles that have been made before but this is my best MOC yet and i am pretty happy with the results. Anyway enough of the Blah blah blah and on to the pictures.

Constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I have decided not to enter this in the CCCVI contest after all because i realized you could only have 3 pictures.
Without Lego this world would change for the worse...

Your pictures are a bit dark, but clear. I like the castle upon the rock and the bridge but the rest of the creation doesn't have the same amount of detail. The water takes up about half the space of the creation and it is completely flat. Some small details like plants sticking out of the water, small waves, or a skeleton floating on a barrel could help break up the monotony of the water, improving the overall creation. I think the detail and effort you put into the castle should also show through with the rest of the creation.

CCftw:

You shouldn't feel discouraged to enter by the 3-picture limit. That doesn't mean that you cannot have multiple other pictures out there; it simply means that for the judging there should be a folder with 3 images. For instance, here are MrTS entry pictures and here is an additional folder for one of his MOCs. If you don't want to make another Flickr set, you could simply add a specific tag (like "CCC6castlecategory") to the 3 images you wanted to submit. Then, rather than submit the address of a Flickr group, you just submit the address for those tags. For instance, I tagged three random images from my Flickr stream with "testing" and if you go to this:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/88061820@N00/tags/testing/
you'll see them.
Anyway, just a thought. I don't want anyone to feel precluded from the contest for mistaken understanding of the rules.
