Re: Duelling - Throw down the gauntlet and have at it.

I will not push the issue, as it was just an idea.
But yes Winter, I did have something else in mind. I should clarify what I meant, and fill some of the holes. This should answer questions from both Winterhawk and JuniorMcDeath.

You create 2 accounts (Like when you created the DB awards account). "Deuller 1" and "Dueller 2" JUST 2.
Before each challenge, post the passwords. you could even change the passwords each duel, but I don't think that will matter. or email the p/wds to the challengers for more security.
The duellers choose to be one or two, and post their final entry as either deuller one or dueller two. You can simply use these same accounts for all duels.
And of course, JR, after the judging is finished, you can post it as your own. or move it to your account. or whatever would be easiest.

But as I said, it was just an idea, I don't mind either way.



VE-

interesting and eloquent elaboration.

"Every artist fits into one or the other--Feel that's "pigeonholing"?

yes, frankly I do.
consider that to be the definition of the term, actually.

Although I don't imagine you meant it this way, I kinda feel that you take a somewhat "basic" veiw of what you can do with photomanipulation. But as you said, we do not know each other, and to each his own.
I just wanted to counsel a bit of care. Some people that have used photoshop for a number of years may take umbridge to their work being assessed in the same manner. Without your lengthy explanation, your intial comment seemed to reflect that sentiment. Thanks for the clarification.
