The photos you show here have been outstanding.
More often than not, I wish I could be half as good as you show.

The method of determination of peer rejection vs. judges is based on
speed of rejection. For the past couple of months, the judges have
been taking 1-3 weeks to reject. Peer rejections are mostly within a
