The following would be my choice for Top 6. These members have never been in Top 5 and it would be nice if they had the opportunity to win that status.

You are right - we had all forgotten. It will be the TOP 6!

Correction:

One more time.

Again - I'm having a problem with my computer.

The following would be my choice for Top 6. These members have never been in Top 5 and it would be nice if they had the opportunity to win that status.

Actually this should be Top 7? I realize there are 5 in each category. How are they handling this?

I thought it was said that faces will no longer be part of the top 5...I seem to remember reading that but don't remember where. I'll go look.

I love those choices, though. There were a few I hadn't seen.

Posted by ThinkDraw in the thread "New theme - avatars" in feedback:

"Finally, there are no plans to remove 'Faces'. It can be accessed from the 'More' section of the drawing page. However, please note it will not feature in the Top 5 for June."

I think you're right now that you mention it. It's still should top 6. I just noticed things about the drawings that I feel are worthy of opportunity. Thanks for your input.

It would be lovely if there was a Top 6 for newer members, maybe those who joined over the previous two months, to give them time to build up a back catalogue.But the results could be published monthly. That way we would get to see new talent, alongside the regular Top6.

Good idea, but I'd like to see what happens here. I don't think all of the pictures get a fair viewing. Let's see. There are some very talented or promising artists. I'm not an art expert but everyone knows what they like.

I do think Faces should be used this last time. Then don't count it.

Kmkagle I haven't had time to see some TDer's complete galleries and analize them but before I forget. I have the impression that YOU are the ONE who best describes Native Americans. Your Indians look so good... and it's not only lately that you've been drawing them. I just didn't want to forget this detail... and let you know that.

Thank you polenta. I have a great respect for Native Americans. I enjoy Indian Lore. Appreciate your thoughts.

Oh! What excellent ideas (so embarrassingly obvious once you've simply stated it clearly!)
--to feature the too often overshadowed works of those who operate from a different background, and yet bring us so much in creativity
-- and to encourage relative newcomers with a spotlight of their own

I wonder if this should be mentioned in Feedback... km? iam?

I agree, too, with km that the old faces should have been allowed one more time before retiring it from 'competition', competition around here having no prizes other than the sort of special recognition that keeps a piece from becoming buried.

Kudos to a4e4 and marius for landing well-deserved spots in Top 5 this time.

I am not being sarcastic, nor mean but some people aren't given a chance to be in top 5. It seems to be a dominated area. Some will never have a chance. Some have had one will never get another one.

KM, of todays winners 6 had never won before, 5 had won one other time, and 6 have had winners in more than two months. That seems a reasonable spread. I don't understand how "some people aren't given a chance to be in top 5". New winners are the largest group.

Some people dominate it every month. They'll stop in again next month. 'nough said.

Luna

I asssume you mean Arw65 and me. We are the ones who have been in the top 5 every month this year. Which of our pictures do you think should not have won?

I award per person. It's not fair to everyone else. I said what I have to say. You want to talk, e-mail me. I'm not getting into any frays.

Nod.... let me preface this with the same comment-- it's not my intent to be mean or sarcastic, merely thoughtful--
Do you think TD would be improved if people particularly skilled at 'drawing' (or collaging) in regular life would step back, not enter, or in some other way handicap themselves here? If so, how often? How thoroughly?
