Title: Flimsy Wings Derby! (Photo Contest) And they’re OFF!!
Post by: Crowning_Glory13 on January 14, 2018, 12:33:13 PM
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the flimsy wing derby! Our races are wingers that were prone to breakage. Fancy wings, or wingless these racers are magnificent! Let’s hear the prizes!!!
*prizes have changed due to the number of racers. url=https://flic.kr/p/22VhnUG]visitors can't see pics , please register or login [/url]4CCF1E8B-21AC-4AA3-A99B-FB1AFF32CEC9 (https://flic.kr/p/22VhnUG) by s s (https://www.flickr.com/photos/152253215@N06/), on Flickr
1st place winner will recive a wing of their choice. I can also make a special pair for them as well:) AND a knitted item of their choice. Check out trades for pictures. http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,381689.msg1576786.html#msg1576786
2nd and 3rd runner winners will get to choose a custom wing that is already pictured, or a custom knitted project of their choosing. Or only shipping cost on specially made wing design.
All Contestants receive a huge discount on any items they see in my sales/trade. So if they want a $10 wing and participate it might be a $5 wing. Then they can trade for the wing with a $5 value or less.
Shorten rules of the Derby. 1. One flimsy wing pony per contestant. And the contestant has to use the same flimsy wing pony for all photos.
2. Each round hase a theme. After a round, we loose 1 flimsy wing from the derby. (This used to be 2, but with low entries we go down one.)
3. Votes are only important to the round. So once round one is over, all remaining flimsy wing contestants will start the next round with 0. The last round has a surprise element that will be described at the end.
4. New to this is contest is the wild card. I love pictures, so even if you are not entered you can be asked to enter the last round! You can be a great cheerleader for our contestants, or post pictures right along with us. Even if you were dropped out of the race you can come back in for the last round!
Flimsy Wingers to the starting gates!
*trumpets sounds*
And They’re Off !!!!

Voted and here's my pic for Rainbow I hope this counts. :)
In the caves that are hidden behind the waterfall there is one that is Sky Dancer's favortie. This cave has 3 magic pillars that can become any color Sky Dancer desires, and nothing gives her greater happiness then touching the rainbow stone that activates the pillars and watching them change colors. Sky Dancer loves all the colors of the rainbow and often makes each pillar a different color just for fun.

tailrustedtealeaf, your picture is really cute! Except for the part where you read my mind or something and stole my idea :shakefist: Well, I don't want to look like I'm the one stealing ideas, so High Flyer decided to lead a pony ode to purple instead (someone remind me to stop taking pictures after dark). visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Great pictures everyone. :) Sky Dancer wants to thank everyone that voted for her and sends her congrats to everyone on completing the first round. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Thank you everyone for the nice comments on my photo. I love the glowing lights also but I've noticed Sky Dancer is really dark in the photos. When I tried it with the overhead lights on you couldn't see the glowing lights well at all.

This is my offering for the Rainbow theme: Six Flutter Ponies (one for each proper color of the rainbow), stacked in something of an arch. Hollywood is red (or close enough), Cloud Puff is orange (again, close enough), Rosedust is yellow, Morning Glory is green, Tropical Breeze is blue, and Forget-Me-Not is violet.

Thanks! Yeah, that was my big idea for this, was to actually make a rainbow of sorts out of the group. It was tricky, wound up having to lean them against the door

Glow thank everyone for the support so far! visitors can't see pics , please register or login (https://flic.kr/p/23APRf7) Glow didn't feel like flying 2 hours out of the city for our road trip, so instead so took an early morning flight to meet up with her seapony friends. They gifted her with beautiful rainbow gems from the sea!
