Yes, AgentS, tjohn has got it right, I was joking about a manner to avoid just that :)

To DarkSwan: oh my... I thought you were self-voting yourself (sorry if I repeat myself here), because I did not find any other possible explanation for that image to be in the 1st slot. And I thought a couple of times to let this pass, but at the end I thought the fact was somewhat spoiling the spirit of R'osity. I felt cheated, so I wrote that down. In the second part of the message (I'm sorry there is no more trace of it), I said that, in my opinion, the rocks in the foreground needed a thorough smoothing pass (or so I recall). The first one was a little anger goin' on, the second one was a criticism. I wrote "please stop voting yourself", I didn't insult you or used bad language to express my disappointment.

Ok, you didn't vote for yourself, you had a bunch of colleagues, friends and customers doing that. I also have lots of friends that, not knowing anything 'bout 3Dgraphics, think I'm up there along with Pixar's Chief Animator, but when I show them R'osity Bryce gallery, I point to them to the works -- only to name a few of my favourites -- of sbleci, Rochr, RedSpartan, Beton, hobbit, alvinylaya, kaes, PrizmBreak (what a coincidence! the people who're in the Hot20! Out of pure popularity? Gosh, I didn't even know how old are they and where they live, what popularity means?!??) and sure I wouldn't like if they, my friends, voted for me out of pure friendship/relationtship.

Fact is, the image was a normal image with many flails, like mines and most of other's new artists (or, like me, hobbyist) here. So, if you want, you can accept my excuses for having being wrong in the "self-voting" topic: I renew them, and I would be really glad if you accept 'em, but please don't accuse me of being vulgar, or disrespectful, or insulting in any manner.

Sorry for the looooong rambling.
