Overall, i am often impressed by a lot of the imaging here-be it photos, drawings, fractals, etc...BUT today I see an image in Featured Images that is so obviously mediocre and was clearly traced from a photo and it ranks enough to get featured..........this causes me to question assessment of images by whoever selects them for inclusion. Also irks me that I put a good deal into creating an original work...not traced or copied, and it merits not much sometimes. Pretty disappointing. I wonder if people are really looking at work objectively and taking ability, artistry into account. Perhaps I ought to outline a photo in Irfanview, etc. and it would do much better.......
