@d7e7r7 - did you enter for the comp? If I'd have to choose a new wallpaper, I'd choose any photo from a website in your sig rather than the one of a oke who's head fell off his bread cushion.

Nope I didn't know about the competition until I saw the news about that pic... thanks for the compliment though... maybe in the future ;)

Maybe it won because the judges could relate - they were obviously sleeping too.

It pretty much sums up my general distain for photo competitions.

Yes... was just asking cause there have been other people posting here so I didn't know who you were referring to...
Thanks... glad you like... not really a portrait/fashion photographer, prefer news images... but in this business one has to be capable to do anything... :D

It is if you took the shot. But I agree, I have seen some much better pictures get absolutely shredded for not being this or not being that. Crazy I tell you.
