I realize it isnt for everyone (I work 60-70 hours a week), but it adds a very interesting time factor to the contest.

I can remember spending 1 hour on a chop, loading it up only to find that Chrispis (who is from Holland) or metalic (who is from thialand and england) has put up a masterpiece in 35 mins (that would most likely compete with todays advantage chops). really 2 of the best back then were from europe or asia Hell, Ledirlo won like three days in a row back then .

On the otherhand you would see entire contests turn around when a good post went up.. This winner was not posted untill around 8pm on the first day of the contest.. http://photoshopcontest.com/photoshop-contest/663/top-of-the-mountain.html?o=votes I can also remeber some shooting up from the 2nd day.



The contests were more open back then IMHO. atleast they had me checking the votes more..

And that, as they say in the trade, is that

Has cheryl left yet?

I browsed though the old H2H tournaments, and there are some really neat chops. Recommended!

A bit on the shitty side though: All the source images seem to have been lost. No possibility to compare with the original.

yeah I spotted that, really annoying, when and how did that happen?

i got all the source pix,
