General question about screenshot rules - post processing such as enb and reshade. Are they allowed or do they count as bullshots?

Another rule question- are the contests always open as long as the results aren't posted? If yes it could be added to the announcement posts.

That's a tough call, but I think not allowed. The general idea of the screen cap contest is to showcase the engine and the assets the community has made. While someone could install reshade and get an identical picture, it's not immediately obvious that the engine by itself isn't creating that picture (more of the core reason why editing the picture after the fact is not allowed). (But still post pics like that in the Celebration thread!)

Yes, its always open until I post results. I will make that more clearer next time. :)

This month (or last month since I'm really late)'s theme was The Killing Blow!

And this month's killer shot was done by... CKid! That amazing Mjolnir annihilating... something that used to be a functioning ship (a Deimos?) really blew me away.
