This does appear to be a clear case of cheating.

The photo of the Petronas Towers is a nice photo, but only because the Petronas Towers themselves are nice. The photographer did not need any skill to get this photo.

Furthermore, the photo would have been much better if it was shot during the "golden hour", so that the sky was a rich blue (rather than black). For this reason alone, the photo does not deserve to win.

It does seem as though this entry has been skewed by "friends" (perhaps cheater - sorry, cheedr - himself?) of the photographer voting five stars.

This kind of behaviour is upsetting. I enjoy entering challenges, but knowing that people are cheating makes it harder to win, or at least to get high marks.

who is this Scott, a master of photography?

why people cant just enjoy the photos on the website,

instead of charging everyone with stupid accusations driven by envy and maybe a jaded life?

I just flagged your comment as inappropriate but, if you find time in your valuable life, maybe you would like to read the forum as well as our comments and find out more about Cheedr.

It is very interesting to observe that almost all photos of this author have three votes of 5 stars in the last challenges, whether they are worthy or not.

#1 I'm pretty sure you can understand English, as you were able to read the challenge rules. So, it's very ugly to use another language (maybe your mother language) to talk about me. Percebeu?

#2 I understood what you wrote and it seems rather the opposite (lack of honesty, perhaps). I didn't ran these challenges you won. What I don't like is dishonest persons and to see undeserved photos winning.

#3 One of your entries has already been disqualified. Does that mean anything to you?

#4 People already know what you are dishonestly doing. Take a look at this thread: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1044&thread=39774255

#5 Please contribute for the spirit of this competitions and help the community to improve itself, rather than enjoying the ego.
