Shannon, howzabout ya sticky this puppy? It's been repeatedly bumped now for 2 years. I'd say that indicates continuing interest.

Well I need to update it and make a tutorial. I have actually learned a thing or two in the years since I wrote it.
(Like the consequences of resizing twice in Minimal Editing) :-P |

I dunno why people listen to Shannon, like he knows how to win a ribbon, he only got about 40 of them :P
Seriously though, some wisdom in this thread and a tutorial would be good but mainly I just suggest people stick with their styles and mainly enter stuff they like first and foremost and the rest will follow. Endlessly trying to please the masses just hunting for a ribbon will not get you far and I still do not know what makes a winning photograph just that after spending more than 2 years here. I have submitted shot´s that I thought would score a 5.4 and got a 7.4 and the exact opposite so go figure... |

See, he pulls out this kinda junk to try to make us think ribbons aren't important... It's very obviously his way of keeping the competition limited a little bit so that HE can keep winning ribbons...
So, either the stuff HE likes wins ribbons or he's just a ribbon hog.
Sorry, Larus, you asked for it. :P

Yes indeed, Its even harder with the Brown I think it takes extra ordinary talent to come up week after week to produce such reults in a new and fresh manner, that the voters will truly despise .
