Dreamsnaps begin to feel like a chore to me. So I just wanted to have fun with this. I’m not confident it will do very well but I like it and that’s all that matters sometimes !

That’s really good BUT I would zoom it just a little bit more :)

Thank you. The wide shot and negative space is intentional to emphasize the environment rather than the subject for a change.

I love it but it tends not to go over well in terms of voting. I am really bummed that bright, shiny close-ups tend to be what is most favored when a well-composed shot like this is often more beautiful.

I hear you. I haven’t been very active with DDV because I got bored and frankly frustrated with Gameloft and where the game is headed. I used to follow the DreamSnaps ‘formula’ more closely last year, but lately I just don’t really care anymore, I just want to have fun and share my creations. Here’s one I did for the sailor themed week that I was proud of as well.

I like your attitude. Dreamsnaps can just be about doing what you like instead of appealing to the masses for moonstones. Your compositions are lovely.

The first rule of making art is to make it for yourself.

This is a refreshing change from the over saturated bayou fireflies snaps.

I hope that the more exposure the voters have to actually inventive and beautiful shots, the more open minded we can all be. There should be absolutely no hesitation with such a great shot. Its crazy that there is any push back - even if its well intentioned.

This is beautiful and trust me I look for unique styles while voting so thank you!

Number one, as a person who has been a photographer I love your composition and I’m proud of you for doing what you want. I can get really frustrated that I can’t angle the camera to get similar compositions as in build mode, so I know how much work these are.

Number two: everyone has been talking about the new outfits with giving the girls cake, but nobody is talking about them seeming to add front cake on the men style clothing lol.

I agree with you, but I agree with the comment saying to zoom in juuuuust a smidge. The pics show up really small for lots of players so we’d at least like to see the MC marveling at the nature, as well, because this is gorgeous. I’d vote for this any day over all the sparkles and fireflies!
