I see no challenge theme so it must be a free study and you're giving him a 10? Talk about collusion.

You clearly don't know fine art when you see it. Look at the bold colors - the blues and blacks with splashes of red - the high contrast, the exquisite use of bold and italics - a symphony of letters and numbers strung together in beautiful harmony. The perfectly round bullets lined up along the left that give it a sense of structure and purpose. Notice how the groups of numbers in the middle of each line are separated by a single, elegant slash as if to divide or compare the numbers themselves. Can you not appreciate the symbolism of the plethora of 10's scattered through the image? 10, representing beauty (i.e. Bo Derek). The seemingly accidental crop on the bottom might suggest that there is more to the story, leaving me with a feeling of longing and incompleteness.

What? Over the top? :P

Is this pattern consistent for other members that tend to do that sort of work? Like cutout for instance?

I'm asking this as a serious question, and with no level of sarcasm behind it: What is the purpose of showing posthumous's placement in your list of details above. I can understand how you might be making a comparison of score vs. placement for pointandshoot, but I don't get how Don's vote is supposed to have affected how he placed.

It's like saying "Oh, Joe always votes IreneM's images very high, so he must be friends with her." Maybe he just likes that style and no one ever achieves the same results (though one or two entries per challenge may be somewhat similar). Just 'cause it's not a "DPC Friendly" subject doesn't mean a person can't love it.

The Posthumous Ribbon thread documents his taste. It's all there for anyone to see. Also he probably announced every one of those 10's right on the image, before voting was over. Sneaky eh.
