Thank you very much for your analysis!
About the winner taking thread over - I have not heard of GreatBustard for some days, I hope he's well.
I think we will wait a few days more and if he does not appear, then we should give chance to minniev for second place - what do other users think?
I agree
And congratulations to Fireplace33, for this colossal work. 👍🏻
Winning almost becomes a punishment, in my eyes. 😂
😂
Thanks Maoby, I did have some time to kill this morning, as it's raining continously outside at the moment !
so not so bad,...
But you're right though, comments at the end from the host should definitely be only optional.
I suggest the next winner just makes some comments for a few selected entries, or even just some general comments or even none at all :-)
... All under the moto of keep it simple and do whatever he/she likes :-)
It is a "punishment" in a way because the op of the new thread is not allowed to post his/her suggested edits to the starter image and their techniques.
To me this is grossly opposed to the assumed intentions of these threads to share editing ideas and techniques.
In any thread the "winner" has the option to decline starting the next thread for whatever reason and pass it on to the runner(s) up.
Or you could set a rule saying you cannot start 2 threads in a row.
Of course. I haven't seen anything that suggests otherwise.
The op's comments are just one person's opinions.
Given the intention of these threads is to suggest edits and share techniques, all participants should be allowed to comment/ask questions at any time up to the closing time or at least afterwards, not just the op.
You are all overthinking this. It's just a bit of fun. Let the OP decide the "rules" - and if you don't agree with them, move on.
Alan
Yes, that's a great idea.
Having the op set the rules will allow more variety in the "challenges".
Looks like @GreatBustard doesn't want (or more likely just can't) to join us and start next round of the "Edit me an image". Thereby I ask our current round runner-up minniev to start the next, third round of competiton.
@minniev, you have the honour (or was it punishment?) :)
