"Chaf, maybe you should ask Adam to tell us what he's looking for in a pic in order to confer deMilohood upon it. I think you're right, there is no hard-and-fast rule or set of criteria, and that it's just what takes A's fancy at any given moment, so it will never be consistent, but I think that originality counts, as does humour (also in the caption) and just evidence of something extra having gone into the shot, be it timing, thought, preparation, manipulation... Or it's just about being in the right place at the right time. Also , a lot of the early de Milos were new ideas at the time and got the award for that reason, so a repetition now will not get one.

"For the record, there are two deMilos with airplanes. I think a balloon should merit a deMilo also."-Chaf

"Only 7 jumping MdM's out of 664 total. After scanning the full category I believe there is no rhyme or reason to MdM selection. Yes there are some that are unique without question, but the majority are no different than any other shot within a suitable category. It's my belief that some of us get them and some of us don't.

"sorry wim. missed the hullabaloo on your 1000th. i was in Canada. i think this meets the challenge of having a street address or other number in the picture matching your submission. well done. "-robert k

"okay iCandy can be nice to look at initially but the 'flavour' goes away pretty quickly. and what if there is no one there to jump? "-robert k

"I think it would be about 500 feet tall, which is about as high as fourteen Tyrannosaurus rexes in a double-decker bus on top of Nelson's Column, which I did actually see once."-Smart Set

"Hey, don't knock iCandy! Totally agree with you, rk. Obviously, then, all that narrative stuff *plus* someone jumping has got to be the way forward..."-Smart Set

"but that can be a bit contrived no? i think what makes an MdM for me as much as anything is a unique setting that happens to have a matt in it, or a unique matt in a mundane setting. both suggest a story. and istn't that why matts on the side of the road are interesting? i guess that's it as with any good art a MdM for me has has to offer narrative. to 'pretty' too aesthetically motivated then it's just eye candy.

"Gefeliciteerd, Wim! That's a brilliant 1000th pic. How tall would a stack of 1000 matts be? "-Sleepeasy
