 Haha, this photo is pretty hilarious! Trying to decide if it's a kid who had some Lego's and got creative or a dad who used his kids Lego's?! Maybe they didn't even own a bike and now they're getting a brand new Demo 8. Either way, hope the winner enjoys it and re-enacts this mock setup and performs the real thing on their new bike.

 Hmm, if that's the viewer that was being used to view the entries, there's a several hour delay apparently in when you post something on instagram and for this site to pick it up. Mine wouldn't show up under statigrams's hashtag search all last night under the contest time period and just only showed up this morning.

 Yea, not even an honourable mention? Ouch. That one definitely looks like a ton of effort was put into it, and judging by the hashtags not the best experience haha

 Good looking shot for sure, not sure it trumps the rad little Lego guy though. You've got 2 more contests to give it a go, just try to get that image in before the last hour and I bet that will help the search odds out.

 I think it is a good photo, and maybe should have won, but I did see it yesterday at about 10:45pm Pacific time so I think the judges probably did as well.

...? Astute observation?

 lf the comp has been open for so long you can't complain about being an hour late?

 I don't think anybody uploaded anything late here, there was just some weird stuff happening with that particular gallery site when I was viewing images on it compared to viewing them off of instagram itself. It's obviously a mood point at this stage, and honestly it's pretty much impossible to clarify that kind of technical question without coming off as a bit of an ass now, but I would imagine you might be a little disappointed to miss out on the opportunity to be in the running for that prize because of a random website error.
Again, I'm not taking anything away from any of the other entrants- the winning image was a winning image, and maybe that website's gallery thing was just happening to me, I can't be sure.
To quote a wise man, "This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love fig newtons."
