With their new peer review system the judges might not even see an HCB photo because it's too blurry, or miss out on a wonderful photograph because a few site users don't appreciate its content.
I'm certainly not qualified to judge other's photographs. I don't want my photos shot down by some other equally unqualified user who's allowed to rate a photo simply because he lucked out and shot something decent once. It's easy enough for me to not pass judgement on another's photograph. Avoiding the other half of my gripe is just as easy - I'll take my ball and go play somewhere else. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
