A big thank you to everyone who submitted pictures this year.
I just wanna say as the judge of the Action category that it was incredibly difficult whittling them down to just 3 entries.
Honestly every single picture in the category was in my top 3 list at some point. They were THAT good.
So to all our new entrants this year as Ralizah said above, voting is now open for our finalists.
Look above to post #88 for the finalists and chose your top 3, assigning 5 points to your favourite, 3 points to your second favourite and 1 point to your third favourite.

Nicely done, all. Some beautiful shots there and tough to pick just three. I’ll go with:
The Mothercrystal - 5 pts. I just love this shot with its textures and the mirroring of the Crystal with the city silhouette. I was raving about the art design of FF16 and this picture captures some of the great work that Square-Enix’s artists accomplished
BD’s Got Your Back - 3 pts. If I hadn’t played this game I’d have thought this picture was from a Sci-Fi horror game. It looks like BD-1 is stalking from the darkness and ready to slice Cal’s throat. 😂 It’s a really interesting use of perspective and focus.
Arasaka Samurai - 1 pt. A well-framed and positioned shot with nice use of lighting. It gives an ominous and stealthy vibe and you can just feel the attack coming from the shadows.
I will definitely get my votes in before the deadline, but I'm going back and forth like a little silly b**** depending on my mood at the time, mostly thinking "that's the 5, no thats the 5, so maybe that's the 3, but wait that other one is really good too" which is a credit to everyone's entries 😃
When it seems you're out of luck.

Having a hard time deciding, too. A lot of good entries, but here goes:
5 points - Mapping the Stars. I work in the space industry and am a sucker for a good night sky shot, especially with the Aurora Borealis in there. Combine that with a cool action shot, well-timed and framed just right, and I'm sold.
3 points - BD's Got Your Back. Excellent use of light/dark/shadows and focus to draw the viewer in.
1 point - Mothercrystal. Haven't played a FF in a while so I have no idea what I'm looking at, but the mood it evokes is powerful. Well done.
And big thanks to @Ralizah@HallowMoonshadow@AgentCooper (and anyone else I missed) for organizing and running this contest. I really love the photomode available in so many games these days and I appreciate the opportunity for people to share their creativity and awesome shots. Thanks!
5 points - "The Mothercrystal" by Monstermash40 (I love the contrasting silhouettes in this)
3 points - "Arasaka Samurai" by TemporalSword
