Wonderful image Scion! The integration was spectacular and the idea most artistic.

only 15 whoops for Scion, tut where is the community love

excellent chop Scion... gratz on a new record!

I highly doubt people were "informed" to vote. Jeez...

In my opinion (of course other people's taste come into play here), Scion's image was deserving of the record. I mean, Metalic's image was great -- an amazing technical display. Even though Scion's image may not have been as difficult to pull off as Metalic's image, it was, in my opinion, very artistic as well as technically well-done.

So, again, congrats.

I second that G

Congradulations on the top votes record Scion!! it's a quality piece of artwork"..I always look forward to viewing your entries"

Congratulations, Scion!
Very, very well deserved.

The pic succeeds on many levels. Source is prominent. Integration is seamless. Background beautifully complements foreground. Shapes, shapes, shapes...all work together to create a harmonious whole. THAT, my friend, is art.

Well done.

You KNOW I don't vote very often, but I saw that pic and it inspired me AWEF'NSOME

Congrats SciOnShade

Well deserved win and record.

I hope this will encourage you to post more often.

Beautiful post. If I had been in town it woulda had another vote. Sorry I missed it.
Congrats!

I've filled this reply form with pages worth of responses over the last few days.
I am very thankful for the supportive attitude, and co-celebrators.
I feel good when I do a good chop and it gets some recognition.
This wasn't like that
Let me tell you. What an unexpected turn of events. A chop,
that was just the expression of a choppers desire to chop what
that chopper finds pleasing, gets voted heavily and actually sets a record.
It's just so different from what I've come to expect.


Showcase is correct. I think that image set three records.
Most votes on a Sunday and least votes for a winning entry on second and third days
of contest-- well, at least this year.
If not the least on second and third days- very close to it.
Check it yourself anyone who felt 'no longer active members' came out of the woodwork to vote- quite the opposite happened.
I was embarrassed, shocked, I celebrated the win-
I would have for anyone that had such an accepted chop.
Anyone who wishes to take on the debate of whether it is deserving,
whether site politics were involved, anything anyone may have held back thinking it was in poor taste to speak of such things---
Go for it. I have no ego and do not bruise, I love honesty,
Good or bad, I love honesty.
*edit*
............. I state my position on the subject now .......................
I believe the image stands on it's own. I believe if nearly anyone else posted it,
it would have had more votes.........HA! I'm baaaaaa-----aaaaaaaaaaack


Marco, Thanks for the embarrassing thread

Special note: J-elzic, that image getting your support, of all peoples,
is just overwhelmingly cool. I have nothing but the utmost respect for your attitude.



*edit*
Shoot, I was gonna reply with a poem and forgot...lucky you.
