lleena's pic was not bad, but come on!! In all honesty, EWM's pic beats it by miles because:

1. It is funny as hell

2. The idea of the pic is way more elaborate and creative than just putting Prince's head on a Kung Fu fighter..

Oh and lets keep things in perspective here...this wasn't a race to elect the next president, but a photoshop competition. I'm not going to defend myself here or explain why my picture won..because I dont feel the need to. if you aren't happy with the Judges decision than thats too bad....

can't we all just accept that somebody won, somebody came second and loads of other people didn't?

there were loads of excellent pictures, and somebody had to win. People have different opinions, you know? in my opinion, lleena's was the best out there. coke, you think different. but can't we move on now?

smile

and by the way, happy 4th july to all you US folk out there for tomorrow.

No we can not
Before the winner was announced there were many people who - like I - thought that EWM was the winner "hands down".

It is so obvious that EWM's pic is far superior to any other pic posted so Im wondering if somebody is perhaps a tad biased towards EWM?

btw, I don't think EWM would appreciate you protesting like this, Coke. He feels such protests just clog up the forums, cause problems, and there's no real point to them anyway.

The only disgrace is the way your boy EWM is behaving.

I think everyone who participated deserves recognition but there could only be one winner, it was a competition.


All of this hasn't dampened my enthusiasm, nobody can do that, but it reminds me just how mean spirited people can be.

EWM needs to understand the concept "losing with dignity."

Thankyou 2the9s! vroom!

Im not quite sure what you mean by that.

Im only considering his picture not his actions, political opinions and what not.

I dont know the guy, but I can see an obvious difference in creative work when I see it.

I was talking about his refusal to post any more pics..but if he wants to play it that way, good luck to him.


An obvious difference huh? Technically my picture is almost perfect, dont be lambastng my skills now Coke.


However, you are entitled to your opinion. shrug

I agree. It should have won.

This is a case where I appreciate the art and not the artist, however.

Did I win anything? confused

But really folks, delete this sorry-assed thread. Talk about bad losers! I'm sure there are more important things to worry about. Just avoid next month's competition if you feel that strongly about it.

Unless, of course, you're voting for the Orgies, then I agree with you all! batting eyes

right on, that's exactly it.

the photoshop challenges aren't a majority org rule-based thing, nor was it ever created to gain clout or whatever. it was created out of fun and the creativity that has been shown by various orgers in the past and a way to show off one's talents. if you take poorly to losing or seeing somebody lose something as simple as a photoshopping contest on some website, then you really should take things into perspective and check your priorities.

life is not fair at times. simple as that. the winners for june have been announced already and that contest is finished. don't see why folks need to keep on beating dead horses 'round here as it is. what's been decided has been decided. end of story, and end of thread.

kthx. peace!
