The way I feel. >If the subject restriction is holding back folks from submitting to the >PUG, maybe we should change that to just "my best shot" instead.

If a panel of 3 had to vote on each image and those persons were of significantly varied 'photo genres' on might get a good cross-section. I don't think it'll ever fly anyway, but I still don't mind the idea. Tom C. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
