A beautiful sunset walk

I have spent much of the last 6 hours on this issue: Questions about my allegation of having submitted an upscaled version arose in 3 out of 4 cases. And most probably the 4th one is currently just sleeping.

Thing is: Usually with my creations, when I used to upscale their resolution, you could see a clear difference. For various and in each case different reasons, this is much more difficult in these 3 cases. Plus: For visitors on profiles in contrast to the creators themselves, NC makes it appear as if the upscaled version was used - again for several reasons even in some cases.

I'd say the jury is still out, but of course I believe the game participants when they say, they submitted the original.

Stunning DreamShaper v8 gallery! Thank you all for participating!

Congratulations Andy Thor @And1Capp on winning, Kalpine @Kalpine on runner-up , and Nimira @Nimira on third place!

Some of the disqualified four will have accidentally submitted a resolution upscale creation. Why we haven't seen any submissions enhanced with Clarity/Creative Upscale: I could check the game settings to prevent that.

Sadly, also the bureaucratic winner (i.e. not the one mentioned here) is also an upscaled creation. Anyone pitching NC to make it possible for hosts to prevent submitting plain resolution upscale creations is much appreciated.

Three of the creations in this game are from a game from this very room:

Lovely portrait! You're 22nd place. (Four submissions bureaucratically above you have been disqualified for using resolution upscale.)

Pretty!
