Old photos are fine, though new ones taken just for this comp are preferable. Especially if the old ones were already used for something else. Still, it would be allowed

Very lovely pics so far!!

Unfortunately it has been raining pretty much every day here, so unless my image will be of Lara swimming in the puddles outside it's not going to be very entertaining.

[hiropon056]

that was a difficult one.... it was almost to rainy and windy for that damn matchstick! argh... I wasted a whole box to get a photo with a burning one ugh
so the matchstick means to be a torch and that paper-thing means to be a map xD

Lara "found" some artefacts during her private visit of the Czech Republic, now it´s time to go home and display it . But first she wants to enjoy a small walk in the surroundings.


(click image to enlarge)

The most valuable piece for her collection is the Svatováclavská crown - it cames from 14th century and was made during the reign of Charles IV. Luxembourg, an emperor of Holy Roman Empire (including contemporary Czech Republic). He lived in Prague and crown was deposited in safe of St. Vitus cathedral there - until Lara visited it.

But finally, she visited more interesting places in the surroundings (with more interesting treasures of course , and had a good time . Her last point was Hlučín where she met me and told me everything about her new adventure and news generally. After that, she told me that need to get home and she´ll hitchhike... as a great tourist with souvenirs

very nice entries!! David26 and FearEffect

[Charlie91]

I have a question. It's was said that Photoshop is not allowed. But can I use it to prepare a render of Lara I want to print and use for photo? I don't have a statue of Lara so I thought I can use just a paper one. So can we use just official renders or we can make them with XNA or put together in Photoshop?
Thanks.

[Driber]

By "no photoshopping" we mean that the photo you take of the scene has to be real.

The way you just described how to use photoshop before taking the photo is totally okay, Charlie91.

And using XNA Lara renders is fine

[Charlie91]

Thanks, Driber, that's exactly what I wanted to know:-)

This is the time when Lara is an old stone chest carved by hand by anttiguos Aztecs. What Lara did not know what it is that its content was very powerful.

[Sir FrankCroft]

The sword came in three parts with the figure, bearing arms.

Thanks for rating!

[marsoa]

Fabulous entries, for sure!
(@David26: Pekny fotky... )

Does the name of this comp have something to do with "The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain" by any chance....? Also, nice reference to the South Park gnomes, Drib!
