Nice idea, really well executed!

Bummer. Well, good job and good luck on round 3!

THESE ARE SO HARD TO JUDGE! Oh man I agonised over this one. My vote goes to you mate. Both entries are excellent in different ways and used great techniques equally but I feel your scene has slightly more going on, more action, different points of interest. If I had my way you would both go through to Round 3. Congrats!

nice!

A unique and cool take on your category! The crocodile tails used as seaweed are a great touch; excellent job!

Oh man, that is an amazing build! I love the bubble technique for the dude underwater, and your vegetation is excellent! Not to mention the monster is really cool! It looks like it's going to be a close one, but I would vote for ya if I could. ;)

Excellent work on the underwater techniques! The screaming guy's bubble, the beard/hair of the guy diving in, and the alligator plants were all very well-executed. You've got my vote!

Impressive!

Nice! The Jawcobite is awesome, and the pose on the captain is just plain incredible. Good luck!

Well this is turning into an exciting match up! You're right, you guys are going to make this a really hard choice for the judges! I simply LOVE what you did here! Good luck with your judges! ~ Chris.

Dude! I urgently need to get me hand on some crocodile/ dragon (?) tails for seaweed; they are AWESOME!! The creature looks huge on the thumb but here I saw it was actually Microscale, that was surprise! Well played and good luck with your judges.

Stunning MOC!

Excellent underwater effects. Good luck! :)

I'm lovin' all the poses and the underwater feel of this! And that Jawcobite is to... hee, hee... die for! Best of Luck! :)

Wow this is an amazing build! I love how the set up the figs!

That's some of the best underwater fig posing I've ever seen! Good Luck! :)

Nice build. My favorite photo is where the captain jumps in. The blurriness of the photo, plus the splash effect and the lighting really have an underwater feel. Both build are really good, but IMO the lighting effect on the other one is a pinch better.

this match up is hard to call as both of you took the task directly from the theme..... but by the slightest of margins i am going to give my vote to your opponent as his underwater folliage gives me a better feel of actually being underwater. Good luck with the other judges! Chris

Excellent take on a tricky category. This one will be close... good luck!

great scene, awesome PU, best of luck!

Nice one! I like how you did the underwater effects. Good luck!

I'm quite impressed how the minifigures actually look as though their sinking.

Quite an interesting entry! But I love it! I like how you played around with the blood in water and bubbles! Best of luck!

I see we both have different strategies. Very nicely done :) Now it's up to the judges...
