That's a good question. Assuming that the "official" judges are employed by either Pentax or a company contracted by Pentax to operate the gallery, they have an obligation to properly select photos that meet Pentax's criteria. One could also assume that Pentax is interested in displaying photos that demonstrate the benefits of owning a Pentax camera. Regardless, the judges have some motivation for doing their job per Pentax's instructions - employment. I have no idea what qualifies the judges for their jobs, but I hope they have a background in photography. Lots of assumptions, huh? I don't think they're too far fetched, though. > I'm not qualified to judge other peoples photos, but I gave it a go anyway. > :-) > > Cheers, > > Dave > > -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
