===== From beliaev@utu.fi: It's a great image but looks much like the other one. I simply cannot put this one to, say, 1st place and the other image to 2nd, other people tried hard as well. ===== From cgallego@nordnet.fr: Hey guy, In the irtc rules, they say NOT to submit 2 pictures of the same scene !!! ===== From tholal@bga.com: Even stranger. I like this one better. ===== From bill.marrs@pureatria.com: I liked the other one better. ===== From ucoakc00@mcl.ucsb.edu: People generally do better if they only enter one image of the same stuff. I gave you the same scores, but the other judges seldom do. In the future, decide on a single image and go with it. Your scores will generally be better. I actually like this one more. ===== From danclegg@uniserve.com: That really blowed. Why in the hell would you shove a big glass sphere in front of the scene and re-submit it? ===== From uvasst00@mcl.ucsb.edu: Golly Gee wilkers, maybe if I do an extreme closeup of the reflection off one of my chrome balls, they'll never know that it is exactly the same scene as my last image... ===== From no13@ozemail.com.au: the best of the two as if this one wasn't submitted. ===== From lpurple@netcom.com: This is much more "glassy" than araml1.jpg ; the fisheye refraction helps a lot. ===== From dick@buckosoft.com: I liked the first one better.
