| DFP and Cornflower Avatar contest
OK DFP and I were discussing who could make the best MSN avatar. So we got a friend to pick a screen cap from the Princess Bride. So here goes, please vote on which you like the best and comment on the good/bad qualities about it. If you don't like it, say why and tell us how we can improve it.
<a href="http://www.geocities.com/fencing_fan/avatars/6.jpg">The Original Picture</a>
DFP:

Cornflower:

EDIT: I screwed up the poll thingy, yet AGAIN. I'm hopeless *sigh*

| Speaking of avatars, I'm completely in the dark on your new avatar, cornflower. What IS that? I realize it's a girl, but it doesn't look like you. And it says "b****, plz". Which also doesn't make sense.  | |

| DFP's.
The quote 'True Love' doesn't overshadow the photo. Yet, still present it instantly reminds you of the movie. Specifically, I hear Miracle Max saying, 'He clearly said "Troo Blave, which as we all know means to bluff...'"
While CF's captions make a simple, sweet photo look busy and crowded. And the quote, 'I'm seeing stars' makes me think of that Coldplay song Sparks (I thought he was saying 'I saw stars' not sparks), and well, gone is the movie and the image, just the song.
In fact I'm singing it now...
Did I drive you away?
I know what you’ll say,
You say, oh, sing one we know,
But I promise you this,
I’ll always look out for you,
That’s what I’ll do.
I say oh,, I say oh.
My heart is yours,
It’s you that I hold on to,
That’s what I do,
And I know I was wrong,
But I won’t let you down,
(oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah I will, yes I will...)
I say oh, I cry oh.
Yeah I saw sparks,
Yeah I saw sparks,
And I saw sparks,
Yeah I saw sparks,
Sing it out.
La, la, la, la, oh...
La, la, la, la, oh...
La, la, la, la, oh... | |
