You scored snap 35 as meeting “clearly angled down” is that correct? Does that qualify?

I would assume that that picture is angled downwards - the ‘Ahh… Qua’ sign is presumably below your eyeline in real life but is in the top half of the frame in the snap, which implies that the lens was angled downwards.

Sorry my stupid thumb is so big btw, I tried to set it at width 400 but clearly messed up.

I interpreted Snap 35 as a very clear downward angle, that without the sign-scoring context the focus of the photo is the daffodils, which are down on the ground. It looks to me like the same kind of angle as Snap 31 (Alien Flora).

Curious, was this something you just missed and just found?

Thanks to everyone for welcoming me to the game.

Looks like it. According to the wiki history he could have claimed the award and declared victory on the 22nd, but he missed it at the time. Lucky for Kevan, the rule says a claim can happen “at any time” so as long as the claim references a time when it was true, it’s good.

I’ll save the analysis for the post-game discussion, but yes, something like that.
