I think Stefano's work is always in Hot 20 because we know his talent, and he's earned our respect as an artist and as a person. The pure black image was intentional, it wasn't an unfortunate newbie accident or anything. LOL Ultimately it's a matter of opinion. Some people who are purists may think that only non-postworked images deserve to be there. Some people don't like Poser images in the Bryce galleries (exactly why I posted my last pic in the Poser galleries). Some guys just don't care. Me, as long as it's reasonable, It should be cool.
