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.

I think the main difference I saw was that Jerry looks for a "overall
beauty or artistic ugliness". If I got that one right this refers to any
style. You said that you rank the styles (first superb photorealism,
second cool cartoony look ..).

I think there is a difference because in every style you can have this
artistic beauty or ugliness.

But as I said before. I can also understnd your way and I respect it.
