But have we seen the end of the PDML Annual? The PPG is certainly not perfect, but it is the best we have at this point. I agree about your comment on the PPG favoring images with "pop" and "sizzle." I submitted one of my favorite images, a study of the texture of tree bark. It was rejected. I submitted it again, and it was rejected again. I submitted it a third time, in a different category, and it was approved -- and placed in the Premiere Gallery. It was a matter of getting the right people to look at it.
