==Composing screenshots==

*'''~~No overlays~~.~~''' Hide your~~ FPS counters ~~and~~ system controls.

*Screenshots shouldn't have any visual elements that aren't part of the game's rendered output. This includes FPS counters, system controls, operating system toolbars and taskbars, and external notifications.

*~~'''~~All cosmetics should be disabled~~'''~~, unless the screenshot is specifically to show cosmetics, in which case they should be the only cosmetics enabled.

*All cosmetics should be disabled, unless the screenshot is specifically to show cosmetics, in which case they should be the only cosmetics enabled.

*If ~~your~~ screenshot is ~~being used~~ to ~~show~~ a ~~specific thing~~, such as a character animation, it should be cropped to focus on the subject. (The base screenshot you are cropping from should still follow the resolution guidelines described above.)

*If a screenshot is meant to demonstrate something that only takes up a small area of the screenshot, such as a character animation, it should be cropped to focus on the subject. (The base screenshot you are cropping from should still follow the resolution guidelines described above.)

*In cases where the background isn't required to be something specific (~~i.e.~~ screenshots of towers in the {{series|Bloons TD}}), the background used is up to you, as long as it has a good contrast with the primary subject of the screenshot ~~and it~~ isn't too noisy or distracting. For example, you shouldn't be taking screenshots of an [[Ice Monkey]] on a snowy map.

*In cases where the background isn't required to be something specific (such as screenshots of towers in the {{series|Bloons TD}}), the background used is up to you, as long as it has a good contrast with the primary subject of the screenshot, isn't too noisy or distracting, and isn't taken with any foreground elements that obscure the subject. For example, you shouldn't be taking screenshots of an [[Ice Monkey]] on a snowy map or behind a tree.
