I’m not much of a visual person.1. So I generally only half-heartedly pay attention to the banner competition threads; they simply don’t matter much to me. But I do read them, and sometimes make my preferences known. Almost always that comes down to a preference for simplicity. While @pmario’s ship is pretty, and @stobot’s trains are impressive, I prefer the simpler ones such as yours, and the ones that speak to something about the actual changes, like @pmario’s 5.3.6 version, and both of Xrizzy’s offerings. I was happy enough with @Christian_Byron’s cat looking into the sunset. I’m not experienced enough with AI images to recognize what @TiddlyTitch seemed to grasp right away, that this was AI output. That sours me a bit, but doesn’t disqualify it in my mind, even though I find myself significantly opposed to the current crop of AI.
So yes, I will absolutely enjoy seeing the sorts of things you create. And for a first approximation, simple is better in these banners.
1Really not at all. For instance, when I read, I do not get an interior image of the scene. I can tell you relationships: this is to the right of that, but further back or both of them look scared, but I don’t “see” it, even in my mind. Since my mother and one of my brothers share this, I assume there’s some genetic oddity at work. But I’ve never really investigated.
