Lol sorry. Don't get me wrong i love the assignment. It is both challenging and open for creativity.
But I've just never had the best time choosing stocks.

Disagree because there's more variety and you're more likely to find exactly what you want. It's a case of fitting the images to your idea, instead of forcing an idea to work with an image.

Issue with stocks is you need something that can be your focal and the interest.You unfortunately also need something detailed to use as background info.I hate stocks

Well, that can be a problem if you're only using ONE stock...but who actually does that?
I just find them a lot easier to work with than renders. Lot more fun, too.

I do, but thats because I suck at finding good ones.
Also looking at Pitts 3rd Round entry, I'm a little wary that his stock wouldn't come under the 'landscape' category , guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Landscape is a very loose term, it can imply anything with a rectangular shape to it.

Right. If I had the NFL one I would've done a Dancing With the Stars theme with Emmitt Smith on one half, and a dance floor on the other.

Yes really that is why I said it "can" and since it wasn't defined I took some artistic liberty.

I did too but since it wasn't clearly specified like I said I wanted to take some creative freedom in my design, after all this is about creativity
If I loose because of it, so be it but I had this in mind and wanted to do it.

Well, it says "stock image of a landscape". Thus it should be a landscape, ie scenery.

ie a crowd at a concert Scenery doesn't have to mean plants and trees

To me, landscape has always been looking out across the land and seeing everything in sight, not looking down to a crowd of people and a stage.

Yes I do agree that is the common meaning for the word, but since it wasn't clearly specified and this contest is about creativity I decided to play on another part of the meaning of the word. If Alliance doesn’t agree with my interpretation of his rules then that is fine and it is his tournament and he is the judge.

Looking at the final rounds of previous tournaments MIGHT give you an idea about what to expect.
