Hi, Rochr, yes you make some good points. Especially about people copying others. I try very hard not to copy, myself, but I reckon if I was the sort to do so I'd copy some of your stuff!!!! One last point, though - I would add (from my limited knowledge) that although most pro artists specialise for their partiular niche, "behind the scenes" they are usually master of a fair range of genres and methods. But I'm probably getting ahead of myself. After all, the chances of me personally winning are pretty slim ATM! ;) Maybe there could be a range of prizes, and the winner pick one. There might be a little lag between winning and getting the prize, but would anyone mind? But I'm in a very benevolent mood today as Hawk Jones just emailed me to say I'd got a Kota Press Gold award for "The Viaduct". Having said that, seeing all the incredible digital images that surround it makes me realise just how much of a newbie I REALLY am!!!
