Well said striving! I highly doubt any of us were jealous. I love to see other members make the hot20, and I only vote for images that appeal to me. The ones that I think truely hit the mark and stand out above the others. And I don't want to cause any hard feelings but the hot20 isn't for newbies. I certainly have not produced any images yet that belong there. While it would certainly knock me over to get an image in there, I am not holding my breath. I still have a lot of learning to do and would not want anything of mine to go there prematurely. The hot20 is for hot images. Not saying a newb can't produce an awesome and deserving image but in general its not likely and its not what the hot20 is for. (Hope I'm not accused of lying again) :-D
