Okay, let me put it like this. I am not saying that anyone should change their entry to a non-chrome entry just to up their chances. But I am saying that I think there is more work to it to make a regular paint "reflect" a lot, then with a chrome paint, fluorescent paint, etc just like you said. But that is what 2.0 is about, no? To further meet the theme regulations through editing. I am well aware that are several competitors which aren't editing their images a lot. There are ways to find free software, but the learning process takes a lot of time.
Musical Artist (sorry to anyone I might offend with this) - I do really, really like your entry. I think you should stick with your entry to be honest, it does... hmm... "reach" the imaginary level of "quality" I set up when I sent in this theme. It's not like I'm going to ignore a great entry just because it so obviously takes use of a very reflective paint. Please everyone, as long you yourselves are happy with your entries. Keep them. I'll retract my previous statements about what colours I favor.
In short, I agree with you MA, you are absolutely right. And what you described is how I was planning to judge this.
Oh, and awesome entries everyone. 👍
