Screenshot Contest

I've decided to host a screenshot contest which starts now and ends on Sunday 1st October. I'll post a topic saying when it ends.
Rules:
-It must be of Myth TFL, vTFL, SB, Chimera or TWA.
-You must say which game you took it in.
-Preferably make the screenshots 640x480; any stupidly large may not count, or may damage your chances of winning.
-Preferably use SB's default interface. (unless you are in TFL or TWA)
-Adding a caption is optional, but it cannot in any way help you win.
-Do not edit it in any way. No Photoshopping! If I see any that are Photoshopped, they will not count as a submission.
-Only submit one picture. If there is more than one, I will ask you to remove your least favourite(s). If you don't, they will not count as a submission.
-You may comment on other pictures, but don't be nasty or biased.
-Any pictures that are submitted during or after Sunday will not count. My time setting is GMT.

These rules are harsh because I don't want anyone winning unfairly. Here is an example:

Game screenshot was taken in : TFL
Even in death, The Watcher still manages to hurt people, most notably the person in the bottom-right corner.

Here are the methods of getting a screenshot:
-For OS X, use Grab and make a timed screen. For TFL and SB, hold down command and tab (the key that's above Caps Lock on modern Apple Keyboards) to go to Grab and select "Capture" and use "Timed Screen". For TWA, press command-shift and 3. This will also work in TFL and SB, but I prefer Grab.
-For Windows, use the Print Screen button and paste it onto the desktop. Anyone who has another method of doing this in Windows, post here for others to know.

Have fun!

Who needs pus? The ghol bottle was ignited mid-air by a dwarf explosion. Both dwarves died.

What are the criteria for submission?

e.g. Is it supposed to be funny? Show something bizarre?

capital, I don't think that plugins are allowed. It would be trivial to make a custom plugin with a custom colormap pre-distorted for perspective that would show *any* image in the screenshot (i.e. a bikini model).

Anyway, that's what I get from "It must be of Myth TFL, vTFL, SB, Chimera or TWA". Maybe Lugas can confirm.

vinylrake, it can be anything eyecatching or whatever. You could make it funny, interesting etc. That is up to the submittors.

Also, I didn't mean Plugins, sorry. Eddaweaver, maybe you could change you screenshot...?

Please people, post a screenshot!

This is from TSG - The Fall of Markon. I like the balance in this picture: grass meets sand, good meets evil.
