[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 38564, member: 1573"] I think there are some good ideas here. I think it's pretty perfect the way Anthony set it up specifically because by having to "judge" a photo, you learn as much about your own skills and vision as when you make a photo. When the winner is picked, I always go back and look at all the photos and try to see what the "judge" saw in the photo. It might be nice to also ask the "judge" to state a reason for his selection, simply for the sake of learning. But then this might open it up to some of the jerks and trolls who just look for a reason to be unkind. So I have mixed feelings on this one. As for the "hiccups", I help Anthony with the posting and am probably responsible for most of them. Sometimes life just "happens". We get nothing out of this except joy from interacting with the wonderful friends on this forum and hopefully encouraging everyone in their photography. BTW, there is no stipend attached to the title of "moderator" and we all get our share of abusive PM. I'm always grateful for those who don't attack me. So, a big 'thank you' to Anthony for starting the challenge thread and for being a gentleman and never blaming me for the hiccups. [/QUOTE]
