Mine isn't a friggen statue either .. and the views - sheesh.. hope it's because they are so struck by the beauty and perfection of my entry they can't vote yet ... but will come back and give me all 10's (evil grin)
Hey guys - bad news - I have just done a self DQ on this image. I sent a request for validation on the image to the SC and only got a reply after rollover.
The spider web that I used in the background of this image I assumed could be classified as a texture and as such could be used even though it was taken out of the time frame....
"use images that do not meet the source or date requirements as textures in your entry if they function specifically as textures and not to circumvent other rules"
however, this doesn't seem to be the case and I have been advised by Shannon scalvert that the spider web would not meet the challenge requirements.
I'd like to apologise to all those who have voted on this image and especially to franktheyank, the99 and LadyK who left 3 wonderful comments.

Yes I know that Judi, but Shannon scalvert said that the cracked mud on the face would be OK and that was taken out of the time limit also. There's no prob here - I'm just letting everyone know why the image will disappear from the challenge

Regardless, you were doing way better than me with your score. I am sorry you had to pull out.
