    Congrats, can some1 just explain where the Photoshop Skills are in the 2nd one? Like I know it's well done, Stock Manip, lighting, color, etc, but..

    There were a few more that stood out in terms of effort and skill, I'm just curious.

    I like the tag and all, but...doesn't seem too fancy. Grats anyways boys!

    this is not a critique thread guys. we don't need to hear what people don't like about the winners here.

    because its dis-respectful to the winners and shameful upon the people who do it. if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.

    Because this voting is based on what the staff thinks. It includes a mix of personal taste and their view on what skills were implemented into the artwork.

    Arguing why the 2nd place tag is there would be just stupid, and pointless on your part. It's a simple manip, there isn't much too it but yeah it produced a very nice outcome and that's what the staff voted.

    I would understand why you would be upset if the tag that won 2nd was like, completely off theme and had nothing to do with TDK. But it easily looks like a scene off of the movie with the background and foreground combination.

    Then I guess you'll start to lose entries in the SOTW due to poor judgement?

    I'm not trying to start anything, but its clear how unfair it is, especially when we don't even know who's judging the tags, or the actual judgement.

    never comment on these, but 3rd should be 2nd and 2nd should be 3rd tbh.
    much love for mountaineer though.
