Agreed.

Both of you will look like fools when this ribbon sticks. I hope your photos receive the same curteousness as what you've shown here on this one.

please re-read my post and you'll see that I 1) offered congratulations, 2) claimed that I didn't believe that the entry was legal, and 3) was convinced that it wasn't legal and said that something doesn't look quite right (i.e. fishy)... ummm. that's about it. no personal attacks on the photographer, no saying "holy crap I have no clue how this photo won... , etc."

..and since when do all comments on winning entries need to be positive? And all this talk of needing help, apologies, sarcastic remarks, and looking like a fool?? now THOSE are personal attacks.. this place is getting whack.

Upon further reflection, I now realize this is why I don't comment on many photos around hereâ€Â¦ you say something that's perceived as being even slightly out of line and people trip balls and start firing off negative messages left right and center. Anyhow, have a good day all.

What kind of help do you propose?

congrats on the ribbon.

I fear that something might not be legit though (looks like a harsh paintbrush on the rhs, going from orange to greenish)... though maybe I'm mistaken

ETA: actually, I can follow it along the whole photo. something's fishy!
