Hi @axeman this is your decision, your contest. Thank you for your work and attention.

But the 3rd place raises questions.

A drone image from 73 year old user - this is already wow.

At the same time, she didn't bother to write a good caption.

Also, she is a person that sometimes posts plagiarised photos here (original) and there (original).

Coincidently, she is mother of the plagiarist you exposed recently.

Look at her page, she takes photos of girls with an inexpensive mobile with no postprocessing (like this) and at the same time she has the drone image with significant postprocessing.

Some of her photos are taken with a better camera and light, like this (used by a company on Facebook too by coincidence). She also is a painter and a person who draws well...

Is this a personal blog or Google.Com?

I don't know if the contest drone photo was stolen or not. If this was cut and mirrored, it would be hard to find an original.

But I think the mentioned facts are enough to be suspicious about the account and the contest photo.

Wow this is just mean. Take all this time and effort to start a witch hunt over me. Your life must be very sad and miserable. My brother just died last night with covid, I'll humbling will give my explanations to the owner of the community. Yes I'm 73 years old and very much alive. For now I don't have the strength to argue but anyone please respect my mourning 🙏

I bet She has also a friend with a drone yeah lol..

After last weeks case I decided not to pay prizes at once and still to wait a bit just considering may receive such comment as yours. This is very helpful indeed

It seems like a healthy decision for the Community @axeman

Probably. A friend in "Budapest, Rumenia" or maybe Bratislava, Slovenia this time. :)

And the position of winners was changed a bit :)

Thanks... I was wondering about her account earlier too but I didn't want to spend time. Here, a view of my photo just below that aerial image gave me extra motivation, honestly.

I am sure other guys will benefit too from having no plagiarist in the contest.

Thank you very much and congratulations to all selected works! This week's entry is my golden stairways shot taken in Malaysia. Actually, this is Four Seasons, KL Hotel, and the ambiance there is stunning. Marble and gold go so well together. The shot was taken with Sony a6300. I hope you like the shot.
