[quark]

Thank you! I am honored, never been picked first before, and would never have hoped in such a tough round.
I notice mostly the sinners are the winners, how ironic. :)

[HoofClix]

I notice mostly the sinners are the winners, how ironic. :)

You deserve it! The sinners rule because, as I count it, some 2/3 of the entries were on the sin side. I believe what made yours so good, besides the technical merit of the photo, was that it was a mix if the two, the sinner being virtuous in asking forgiveness in prayer.. Titled differently, this could also display the virtue of total faith, someone praying when no one else is bothering...

[kp-pix]

Actually, what amazed me from down under, was the fact that most entries went so religious for virtue - since there are so many facets of human-ness involved with sin and virtue - it was almost like humans can have little virtue

how amazing!!!

we as beasts have our moments, but we're not all that bad really!!!!

[davalistudios]

Thank you so much, and

:clapCongratulations to all!:clap

[Tentacion]

Quark, I'm glad to see that your Photo won a winning slot...Cuz you were one on my tops list. The techs and lighting in that photo were great...Well Deserved Win!!

Congrats to all the others, and Congrats to EVERYONE who entered and did not place, because your winners just for entering a very complex round.

I entered just to enter one, thought I would get more serious as they went on. I only expected to beat the ones that were disqualified for some reason.

[leaforte]

What an interesting and fun competition to follow start to finish. Every entry added depth to the finale. Congats to all!

[Heather U-K]

Hi, I was just wondering about this breakdown below. How does it work? What does position mean and how do the points work? Does that list mean I'm actually 18 out of 54?? :huh

Thanks!

Heather, yes, that means that you were 18th out of 54. Basically, if a judge scored someone in 1st, they got 10 points, if they thought you were 10th, you'd get 1 point. In your case, you were either in 7th (4 points) on 1 judges list while not ranked on the other two's, 9th on the lists of two judges while unranked on the third, or 8th/10th/unranked,....

Oddly, you could have ranked exactly 11th on all three judges' lists, and gotten no points, so don't put your ego on the line based on the points there. Look at the comments that will eventually come out for all of the entries to understand how to improve.. Nice entry, but the way....
