l_objectiv, you can be proud of this great image. It looks like a classic Magnum photographie, I love it in every respect!

Congratulations on your win, well deserved, the only shot in B&W and yet the one that gathers the mood of what a party is. Could it be that most of this win is attributed to the probability that cheaters simply moved out? Just joking! :) Seriously, a very nice photo.

Thanks very much, dear friend.
"Cheaters moving out"?... what a wonderful dream! But a dream that could become reality if DPR and "Hosts" could do a better job! :-)

Congratulations, Louis! Just a perfect representation of the party "concept"... and a nice shot too! I'm also happy when a good picture (as this one is) survives to cheaters and sandbaggers: nowadays it's a rare event in Dpreview challenges! ;-)

Thank you very much, Stefano!... I was, indeed, very surprised to get only one 1.0 vote! :-)
I really hope DPR would at least ban the known cheaters; then do something about the system that mahe cheating easy!
I believe the hosts also should be better chosen!

Trust me dear friend, I do not know what I think is more urgent, dealt first with cheaters or with dishonest, pompous, " have not a clue what ethics are" hosts.
