Comparing myself to other artists is how I improve. Awarding an algorithm that splices images together that are taken from other artists diminishes us all.

I work weeks on an image, sometimes a month because time limits and my own desire to be better. I can't compete with algorithms that can churn out 5 images in 10 minutes and those are uploaded to the art galleries here. No actual artist can.

That's all, sorry to get on my soapbox. Congratulations to all those chosen.
