Brant, I hope this eases the workload on you. I am sure we all appreciate your efforts to maintain this forum.

Let me also express a personal opinion. I encourage anyone who looks in on the forum to submit entries for the contest.

When I started with digital photography I found the process of editing a shot to enter the contest was very helpful, and led to improvement. I recognize I will never be as accomplished as some of the contributors (Brant, Joel, and Jonathan are obvious examples). For me that is not the point; instead, trying for my personal best is rewarding.

With a poll there will not be judges' comments. I plan to sometimes invite critique of what I submit. I have found comments from the forum participants to be helpful and supportive.

Danny
