Sorry I seen better in the May Screen shota than this one. But what the H eceryone is entitled to their opinion on what is cool and good looking.

Correcting grammar .... 'everyone [is singular] is entitled to his [is singular] opinion' not 'their' .... 
[to be PC you could adopt 'his or her']
Correcting everyone else....
The choice shown is the collected opinion of the Wincustomize Staff.
No-one said it would/should align with anyone else's
...or not....
Tidy shot, JC ....

Excuse Me!! I did not come and post on this board for a grammar lesson.
Disagree with my opinion that is acceptable criticism, but comments on the grammar are not.
This thread is about the selection of the May screen shot. I am sorry, however I post what I feel, if it does not meet the criteria of the mutual admiration society of the forum that is your problem not mine. "I calls it as I sees it"
here would have been my selection

I thought the pick was made from the screenshots from that particular month, not from the general screenshots area.
At any rate I don't see the need to stir things up about this. I've had shots that had almost no DL's and 2 stars and I've has shots that have thousands of DL's. So what? Yes it's nice when others like your work but one thing I don't do is go out of my way to put other peoples work down or say this one is batter than the other. If I was on the staff and part of the picking process that would be different but I'm not so I just roll with whatever comes along.
Ya know JuniorCrooks is a nice guy from what I've seen and I think that OldMsgt you should be ashamed of yourself for taking away from his moment.
Enough is enough of this.

As I understood the process, "The Screenshot of the Month" is a slight misnomer (although the generosity is far from misguided, and should be lauded): Should have been called "Desktop Screenshot of The Month".
I.D. tends to parse words. Always has, as far back as I remember.
As for grammar? He wasn't even referring to you!
I take my licks from Jafo too... because he does it good naturedly, and it always brings a smile (to me at least - especially when I'm on the receiving end).
O.K.? Everything tickety-boo?

Well well well.... Didn't someone get the leg out the wrong bed this morning.....

Goodness, it is a simple promotion to get some activity going. If you need history of it:

I wanted to start a new feature on WinCustomize, and today I introduce the Screenshot of the month! This is pulled from our monthly desktop screenshot thread in the forums that starts every month. I picked this screenshot from RickJP because of the beautiful colors and the feeling of spring that I showed.
