I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I assign points based on their
fitting into certain stylistic categories. So, you must forgive my  English
;-).

If anything, I was trying to say that my rating is forgiving of the style!,
in that I like well-done cartoony stuff as much as I like well-done
realism.  In the last round, my highest-rated entries were  MAGIC101,
STRIKE, 8_FORGIV, and AFROG. I pretty much picked the podium.  I think I
would have given that chicken-farm thingy a higher rating had I noticed the
chicken's brains being replaced.

I think my whole posting was in a defensive response to a half-remembered
complaint I heard somewhere about "cute" or "pastel"  images, which in some
cases I very much enjoy.  My posting was also a sort of complaint in that I
assumed many voters fireballed well-done cartoonism but were overly
forgiving of poorly crafted photorealism, if such hobgoblin-voters actually
do exist out there.
