You know, I can't believe how upset people are getting because the "winner" hasn't been announced.

This is not a real contest. There is no prize involved other than the title of "winning image" based on a vote.

Who cares if it takes longer to get the results.  For crying out loud, Jen had a house fire. Doesn't that mean anything to anyone? Jumpy came in and picked up the ball, but give the girls a break.  Jumpy has other resonsibilities other than this forum now, plus she has a life to live too.

This is nothing to get your nose bent out of shape over, or you undies tied up in knotts about.

Just be patient. The winner will be announced when the winner is announced.

You aren't out of anything but a bit of time, and not even that because you actually spent the time doing something productive and made an image.  If anything it created an excuse to give you a creative spark.

So please, stop jumping all over people about this, and don't take your ball and go home because the announcement is late in coming.

These mini challenges are something fun for the forum and not to be taken seriously. If people give the staff a hard time, these challenges won't be done and then we all miss out.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
