I am absolutely wrapped that I took Blue with my Edgar Allan Poe challenge but what I am more amazed about is that both  Gyaban and I both got PB's and both got 8+ scores with our images. We both have 45 ribbons each, so that is unbelievable that with 90 images between us we both PBéd and got 8+ scores in the same challenge. Job well done Gyaban!!! There are only 4 x red ribbon images in the 8's on DPC.

Thanks Judi! Not winning with 8.16 was a bit surprising I must say, but well I'm getting used to such surprises by now ;-)
Congratulations again on your fantastic achievement, and see you at the next expert editing challenge!
ETA: I got a nice consolation prize ;-)

What chance do the rest of us stand when you two take the top two places with 8+ scores!
Well done both, incredible images. I'll be watching the ribbon race with interest ;) |

These works are great pieces of digital art. Congratulations. I would expect the scores of expert challenges would be higher than advanced challenges, and advanced higher than basic challenges.
I am not trying to take away from the artistic beauty of the works. I'm just saying that it will score better than pure or moderately pure photography. |

Congratulations to both of you, that is a wonderful achievement!! And really, to everyone who entered the challenge, I thought it was an outstanding collection of entries. Probably the challenge I enjoyed voting on more than I have in a long time.
Bravo!! |

I think it is quite interesting that all of last year there was only one score of 8 (not even 8+, just flat 8) but this year there have already been eight of those. I think the increased number of expert challenges has been the biggest reason for it.
I know some love these expert challenges and some who are purists not so much. I myself fall somewhere in between. I don't mind them say 4 or 5 times a year.
ETA: Even without the expert challenges, there would still be four 8+ scores so far this year which is still impressive.

I DID warn you there was a come-back-down-to-earth thud in your future!!

Not quite! There is a bug on the ribbons ranking page where it does not take away the ribbon count or prevent the ribbon count from going up even after a ribbon winning image has been DQ'ed. Hopefully it is something that  langdon will fix. There are all kinds of incorrect ribbon counts on ribbons ranking page. |

I manually counted the ribbons on our profile page. I didn't rely on the statistics page.
