While I certainly can see the POV of those who don't want to turn this into a "juried competition", I think that I agree with Ken on this one. Mark's statement that everyone who submits a photo gets published means that no one will get left out. If one doesn't want others to choose what goes in, only submit one. For myself, I'll likely submit three, if for no other reason than that I'm really bad at deciding which of my photos may be better or worse than others. I also appreciate that my ~what~ my photos are shown next to is important, and that if I submit something that works particularly well in a theme or paired with something else, it will only enhance my work to be so displayed. Since I have no way of knowing what others have submitted, I'll leave those curatorial decisions to the editors. It seems to me that submitting three photos makes their job easier (in a way) and also means that whichever of mine is chosen will look better as well. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
