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.

I hate choosing renders. Stocks are much easier to choose because there's so much more that's available 😛

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? ermm

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.

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.

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.

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