Figgered this had to be you: who else could make statues of mountains look so real? :-) Congrats on the ribbon!

It never crossed my mind when I voted that this was "real"; didn't think it could be anything OTHER than a statue or monument. LOVE IT!! Congrats on the Blue!

Your current profile page mostly represents the preference of a mythical average DPCer and would be unlikely to be published on 1x. Am I right? What do you think? I am interested in understanding what 1x selectors select and why certain images are very successful on DPC but do not get published on 1x.

You probably know more about 1x than I do. If you think this might do well over there, I might try uploading it and see how it will received. I wouldn't care one way or the other. 1x.com isn't a site I hang out regularly. Besides why should I care what style 1x.com likes? I am not going to alter my style just so that it becomes less DPC-like and more 1x.com like. I put a lot more stock into DPC than 1x because it involves a much larger sample size than it does on 1x which is basically what 1 single curator thinks of the images submitted over there.

I think this image deserves the blue. It is a fantastic image, captured well, and processed perfectly. Who cares if it is a statue...it is fantastic and meets all the challenge well.
