						|   | rockyjob Can  I  see  the  external?  This  looks  fantastic!

						|   | johndownunder @TheShaman  Yep  original  et  used  to  do  your  portrait  Sean  as  seen  here        [img] img9.imageshack.us...

						|   | johndownunder @rockyjob  This  is  the  original  ext  also  used  for  a  portrait  of  TheShaman  with  a  varition  in  color.I  dont  know  who  the  original  artist  is  but  certainly  a  fantastic  image.        [img] img837.imageshack.us...

						|   | johndownunder @TheShaman  If  you  remember  Sean  i  did  3  pics  for  the  chop  TheShaman  contest  the  other  two  were  entered  but  this  one  i  just  sent  to  you  personaly  it  was  not  entered  in  the  official  comp.

						|   | TheShaman I  remember.  I  like  this  image  too...  but  really  MOST  of  it  isn't  yours.  the  actual  source  for  this  contest  was  just  put  into  it  is  a  few  places...  wish  you  would  have  listed  this  source  off  the  bat.  I  think  many  of  these  votes  are  for  work  you  didnt  do.

						|   | TheShaman *linked...  sorry  I'm  a  bit  sauced.  No  worries  John.  Just  a  dumb  daily  contest.  no  harm,  no  foul
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | TheShaman I  actually  prefer  my  chop  you  did,  because  you  did  way  more  work  to  it.

						|   | johndownunder @TheShaman  Having  read  the  clearly  defined  description  any  voters  supporting  this  image  should  have  cleary  understood  my  input.I  never  claimed  any  credit  for  the  great  ext  and  identified  it  clearly  as  such.Guess  the  comments  box  will  be  busy.

						|   | johndownunder @All  VOTERS  Re  votes  cast  for  this  pic.  If  any  voter  did  not  understand  cleary  my  description  and  the  degree  of  work  i  did  which  accompanied  the  external.Please  advise  me  by  commenting  and  i  will  be  glad  to  delete  this  entry  from  the  contest.

						|   | bogonet Now  that  i  saw  the  original,  which  in  fact  was  not  altered  at  all  and  it's  99%  of  this  image,I'm  a  little  disappointed.I  hoped  more  of  YOUR  work  has  been  involved  in  this  work,but  now  falls  into  copy/paste  section  and  killed  my  excitement,unfortunately.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | johndownunder @Bogonet  If  i  may  correct  you  the  original  i  had  stated  was  slightly  modified  this  applied  to  the  butterflies  being  altered  in  color  to  match  the  source  element.  I  also  clearly  stated  i  had  added  the  source  to  an  ext  image.

						|  | 
				
					
						|   | johndownunder @Bogonet  As  you  have  expressed  dissapointment  after  voting  for  this  image  it  will  now  be  removed  out  of  respect  for  your  viewpoint.

						|  | 
				
					
						|   | johndownunder @All  voters  Thank  you  for  your  support  of  the  image  Captivating.I  had  clearly  defined  in  the  description  my  work  input  on  this  image.Owing  to  adverse  comments  i  have  chosen  to  remove  the  image  and  would  like  the  moderators  to  delete  it.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | bogonet It's  nothing  personal  and  I  dont  want  my  vote  back,  I  choose  to  vote  because  I  really  liked  the  image.  Honestly,  it  didn't  even  cross  my  mind  that  your  intervention  in  this  imagine  it's  so  light,  because  I  knew  that  you  could  provide  some  good  work
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | bogonet hence,  the  disappointment...
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | johndownunder @Bogonet  there  is  nothing  personal  in  it  Bogo  but  as  my  work  level  input  has  been  misinterpreted  in  the  description  i  think  it's  only  fair  to  other  artists  in  this  comp  to  remove  my  entry  in  the  event  it  has  received  votes  because  of  misinterpretation.
 | 
					
						|  | 
				
					
						|   | johndownunder @Bogonet  Sorry  you  were  dissapointed  in  this  case  i  merely  used  the  source  to  try  and  enhance  a  beautiful  image.I  will  make  sure  in  future  that  any  description  i  give  is  more  comprehensive  to  avoid  any  confusion  or  misconceptions.

						|   | johndownunder @All  voters  Following  a  request  from  moderator  Eve  i  have    returned  my  previously  deleted  image  Captivating  to  the  comp.For  clarity  my  work  0n  this  pic  involved  alteration  to  color  of  butterfly  wings  in  ext  and  addition  of  source  image  only  .Thanks  JDU

						|   | Eve Thanks  for  reposting  this  image  JDU.  Nearly  everyone  in  the  history  of  PSC  has  heavily  relied  upon  an  external  at  one  time  or  another.  Have  they  been  called  out  on  it?  Sure...sometimes.  Your  author's  message  should've  tipped  off  all  voters.  My  vote  stan

						|   | Eve My  vote  stands.  :)
