    Suffice it to say that I'm a bit of a noob with this, so bear with me as I present my first screenshot to all of you. Please post any and all criticisms; I haven't really learned my way around screenshots yet! I'm a bit out of my element.

    There's no File Share link, seeing as I haven't uploaded it to mine and don't plan on doing so unless people think it's good enough. :p
    However, this is the link to its Bungie.net ID page.

    Wow that screenshots amazing! The contrast between the dark side and green gives it that retro look. Great job!

    Pretty nice for someone who claims they're not that good at this. I really like the contrast of colors and how the spartan looks so small compared to the room, adds a nice touch. Nice job 4.5/5

    Would it be better if the Spartan was completely invisible or completely visible? What armor colors would be good? Which weapons? XD I'm such a noob at this that I don't even know what looks cool to others!

    Well if you have a katana I would suggest equiping a sniper and possibly the energy sword because the katana and sniper in the back of the spartan gives it that cross look in the back. Maybe for the arms you should use a eva shoulders. For helm you could use whatever you want the could mix and match with different colors. Im just suggesting what looks good from my point of view but you could do whatever fits your style. I hope to see more pics from you soon.

    I think the Spartan should be placed differently, it looks like he is just standing next to the pipe. Make it seem like he is just coming out, or at least make it look like he made a left out of the pipe. And the red armour and blue shoulders...well, they really don't appeal so much to me. Maybe darker colors as a contrast?

    I barely saw him. I didn't even know he was there until I read the posts below the pic

    Thanks! Yes, I have the katana. I just never use it because it makes me feel nooby online. XD
    Anyway, for the record the Spartan in the picture is my default player model, which explains why it's so boring. I've yet to hear from anyone exactly what armor is best for photography, so thanks a ton for your feedback. I'm really out of my element and comfort zone here with the whole screenshot thing, so I appreciate your feedback more than most would. Forge is my cup o' tea (hence the Premium rank, obviously), and I'm trying to become a more well-rounded creator. Thanks again!

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm new with this stuff, and it's good to have some help! I'll definitely try some of your suggestions out! Thanks!

    the effect is quite good for someone who is doesnt do screenshots. the only thing i would change is the colors of the player model and maybe the armor. In my opinion hayabusa is always good for screens and the combination of E.O.D shoulders Mark V helm and Katana body piece goes quite well also. and with the weapons i would suggest a sniper for secondary with maybe a BR as primary but it would look good with a sword as primary too possibly.

    hope the info i just gave you help towards good screenshots. we may even be able to do some together one day : ] once i learn so new screen tricks lol

    Its a pretty crazy effect. But.. it doesn't look that great..

    Because an effect is rare/hard to do does not make it a good screenshot..
    In my personal opinion it looks kind of.. ugly >.<

    You're new to screenshots so its k :p
    I think you can do better though.

    Duly noted, my Cheez-It deprived friend. Duly noted.

    I've taken a few more since this, and I'll be posting a poll about the five of them in a few minutes. Check it out when you can!

    I really would have liked if you got better lighting though, but the picture still looks very nice. I would love to know how you got all the colors basically inverted. I wouldnt know how to do that. But its very good for your first screenshot i believe. You should see my first ones lol

    Only if its Acid

    About the pic: I really liked it, but it looked a little bit gritty. If you could get the colors to be smoother it would be awsome. Oh and I didn't see the spartan either, until sombody pointed him out.

    I think it is interesting, but not very good. I like that the Spartan looks some kind of lost. Colors shouldnt be that mixed. And by the way: Thank You, this screenshot made me having an awesome idea.

    This screenshot was and is poop. Therefore, I'm locking this thread so it dies. :p

    Neon Jungle was my first experimentation with flare effects on Ghost Town; if you want to see my better experimentations please visit:
