[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 403296, member: 3903"] That's interesting because this highlighting of the "more than 10 likes" is new. So I guess it could apply. What bugs me most is the "winner" thing. I'm against having a "winner" because this forum is all about learning and practicing, not winning. Art is something that is really hard to judge and no matter how many "likes" a picture gets, it doesn't guarantee that that person will be great next week. I would hate that this Forum becomes an "ego boosting" platform. I think that all members should be able to go over a thread for a monthly theme and decide for himself which picture is his favorite one. So I say let's keep discussing this thing. I think we are close to something that I would like very much. A single theme per month, no judging, no winners; just an exercise for all eager member that wants to participate. Each participant can then compare his work with others and we could keep the thread open for more discussion. What takes most time in administering the actual format is the going in the forum, counting the "likes", and then copying (most times screen captures) the selected pics and then paste and post to announce the selection. If this could go, then I'm ready to start a new year and we can ask for suggestions if we run out of ideas. It certainly is easier to find one theme per month than one per week. [/QUOTE]
