If it's any consolation, FWT, Ansel Adams didn't create any of the objects in his photos, but the way he composed his scenes, framed his shots, waited until the lighting was just right, made the result HIS art. There's not that much difference from that in what you do, is there? It's like thinking that the COMPUTER or the PROGRAMS create the art. And we all know better than that. Lots of other artists have used the same skies, objects, etc. that you did. Is their work in the top 20? It's your talent that put you there. Believe it! And congratulations to you all. Tjohn

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.
