That says nothing, just reiterating the empty "it's slower" thing... and in there it even says that .jpg load slower... another plus for .pngs

Too many variables to really make a conclusion which is valid for all.

Is it interlaced?
Is it progressive?
Is there a thumbnail embedded?
Is there server side compression negotiated?
Is server CPU load high or low?
Is users side software (browser) smart enough to make any use of eventual benefits?
And likely other factors I forgot to mention.

So.. perfect material for a heated discussion, but.. do we want it? Isn't it better to stick to the contest rules, which are the same for all participants?

That's not photoscenery - that's the standard stratified cliff face as far as I can see.

Hello, SymbolicSam. Glad to see a new participant at the SOTM contest!

Unfortunately, your image is in PNG, but should be in JPEG (it is mentioned in the set of rules of the contest and it was the topic of discussion above). Please, convert your picture and update your post.
