Strange, it works for me, even after a hard refresh in 2 different browsers... can anyone else not see it?

I've opened this page both in Firefox and Chrome on my Linux machine, and I don't see mr jj's image either. In Chrome there's a tiny square to the left of the text "Image".
We can't vote until this issue has been fixed.

mr jj's submission post also has a dead "image" link, but there is a png link too and that works. I'm on Firefox and WindowsXP.

Can not see, Chrome browser , refreshed twice .

I don't know what is the error in my image. In my desktop and in my phone show up perfectly.But anyway here is:

I changed the hotlink to the one above, see if it works now.

The hot link is a'smokin'

I congratulate with the victory screenshot mr jj. Great job . Waiting for the announcement of the new theme .

Congratulations indeed to mr jj, a newcomer to the competition who swept the floor with us all this round!
A PM has been sent, we await this month's theme.

Thanks! I propose that the next theme be Eyecandy

Sounds good to me, and thanks for the fast response!

Entries are open, get decorating!

Here's a screenshot, from my oldest game ever :

Here is mine, I think that is full of eyecandy

Here's a go from me.

Showing off the Coal Mines and some new parts I added to AuzObjects_FakeRoads and AuzObjects_Fences
(both available in my viewtopic.php?f=26&t=74510)

Before they get on Bananas intend to add a few more to them.

EDIT: I put wrong one here .. as it wasn't completed. Can I exchange for the correct one?

Here's my entry, once again something from the BlueRail game on Tin's server...

Matsumoto Grand Terminus, BlueRail's hub of operations where extremely busy lines terminate in both directions under a vast hall, as well as Shinkansen platforms, tram and metro services. The station is surrounded by the bustling conurbation of several cities and their skyscrapers.

(edit: fixed quote tag)

Impressive. It looks like it's from NetTrans.
Also, it would have been even better if it was a terminus, a little like this :

Thanks, but if you look closely it's actually two termini facing each other inside the hall.

Also are you entering that new screenshot or staying with your original entry? Please make that clear if you post screenshots in here.

We could consider that as my new entry, since there's eyecandy.

I saw it was a two-way termini. But it looks so much better with the bridge through the station, just like the real Den Haag CS station. The Tubular Silicon bridge is even better since it matches perfectly the tubular viaducts you can see in La Hague. Plus, i didn't photoshop anything, the objects allow you to complete the thing. However, i think there's not much place to build near that. There's that problem, too. Otherwise, you'll need a lot of money to corrupt the city council.

The Aesthetics that look better are a matter of personal opinion. Whilst you believe that it looks better with the bridge through the station, Jake may not believe so.

I personally think that both your way and Jake's have their charm, there's nothing to say there couldn't be a bridge underneath the glass and hidden behind the station building in Jake's shot for example And remember, OTTD is a game, let your imagination run wild, with all the graphics sets that are out there, you could combine different parts of stations (and station sets) and come up with a whole new design, you don't just have to base it off the real world

I care a lot for aesthetics. When i see screens with the default stations used for industrial service, it almost makes me puke. Sorry to those who do that, i respect you.

Emperor Jake's screen is really impressive. It's way bigger than mine, mainly because it needs functionality. I try to combine functionality and aesthetics, but it's hard sometimes. The two terminis you see on my screenshot are 5 tile long - this is the standard station length for me. When using two Finnish Pendolinos or one Swiss ETR 470 'Cisalpino', the stations are 6 tile long.

However, when i use Dutch station, i try to reflect reality - this explains the bridge through the station, the Stichthage, the Departurehall, etc.

Objectively Eyecandidly speaking ...
The Salmon Lake Reservoir abounds in fish ... and eyecandy too. Ride to the top of the tower to see what you can see. Towers, dams, an old time mill, an old winery resurrected to a 5 star hotel/convention center/marina, all this and more, much more. Did you bring your rod and reel? What is the object of your desire? Candied Poached Salmon à la very tasty?
