  Grat! now this very interesting, i actually voted against it twice (lol, no mercy 😂). for whatever reason, it's justify is some perspective, maybe it not the perfect version but the overall idea is still there. A little bit of guilty is perfectly normal, haha 🤣even if it really sympathy votes, how bad can it be? all out of admiration toward you, it's real and worthy of appreciation imo. 😁😁

  I appreciate it but I'm feeling a bit guilty, that maybe some of that was sympathy votes because of my post.

  What??? Yay!!! 🎉🥳🎊🎂🥂🍻 I knew it. You're so good that your worst image will win. 😍😍

• @Sealine · Jul 13, 2026

  Thank you! I really appreciate your words. It does make me feel a little better 🥰

• @Sealine · Jul 13, 2026

  Thank you so much for the tip 🥰

  Let's say for a moment that you are right. The likelihood is that without the sympathy votes, you might have dropped to second, maybe third worst case. I'm positive you would have still been in the top three. I, for one, choose to believe that you got no sympathy votes, or few enough that it wouldn't have mattered. Just because your preferred image is better than the one you submitted, doesn't mean the submitted one is bad. I voted, and I saw an awful lot that were worse. This was not a challenge where everyone's was good. What this piece has going for it, just like your preferred one, is that it isn't ridiculously busy, it has a real set of characters that tell a real story, and despite the mistakes, it looks really good. I think you have every right to feel proud of your accomplishment.

  Thank you! And appreciate your honesty! There are definitely some entries I would have voted for over mine. I tend to get hung up on little details. But I should learn from these challenges that not everyone votes like I do.

  I'm a bit speechless and feeling guilty. I prompted for the man to be tightly wrapped around the pole. AI interpreted that to mean by rope in some iterations.

  It's interesting how diverse the Top 10 is—not to mention all the submissions—but somehow the top 3 spots are all couple-themed. How about that! 😀Congrats on #1!!

  Congrats on winning the challenge. I know you had a better image but this is still excellent. Such great elements in it. Well done.
