Hey there,
I wouldn't put it like that.
I had an issue with your Photoshop that had black pixels - a "driver's head," in place of white pixels.
Could you explain to me whether you actually painted in black pixels with a brush, or did you use some kind of filter that turned white pixels to black? I'm a veteran Photoshop user, and it threw me to see a black mass where before there was white. Yes, I criticized it heavily - my main criticism being that there wasn't a large label right on the photo. Someone apparently cropped your image without your permission, and so others began taking your creation as the real photo - and it made the discussion become wildly OT.
So I hope you won't be bitter about it, but will realize that on a blog people can alter your posted images and then it has a domino effect. It happened to me too - someone improperly cropped one of my "bike-drop" images and steered the discussion wrong.
I see in your latest images you explained more of what you did, and I appreciated that.
I am sorry to see that some folks have been taking logical discussion and debate of theories/images as a personal attack, and complaining. Yes, I saw some people get more personal than others, and the WS TOS says to address/criticize the post, not the poster. There is no room to be criticizing posters who are here to add ideas to help find Mickey. But I for one, think it's very valuable for people to propose theories, and then for others to use logic to pick them apart or support them. That constant critical process serves the purpose of identifying valid possibilities and discarding others by finding the logical flaws. So I hope people will continue to propose theories, and also that they will grow a little bit thicker skin. If people are free to propose theories but others aren't free to evaluate them, and that constructive criticism isn't allowed to happen, then I think that WS loses a degree of effectiveness, and then just becomes a place to voice opinions but not have them evaluated. I think that that critical evaluation results in theories and valid avenues to pursue in finding Mickey.
In summary, folks please continue to submit ideas, and don't take it personally when others dispute them with logical criticism. Logical criticism is constructive. It's not about shielding one's ego; it's about vetting ideas to find Mickey!
