A few things occur to me.
- The competition will soon dominate the top of "General Digital Photography Chat" forum. How about giving it a forum of its own? Or can ex-competitions be made non-sticky so they drift down the list in time?
- Given that most of us work on Mondays, how about running the competition from Saturday midnight to Saturday midnight. That would give the judge Sunday to deliberate.
- Finally, I think the judges shouldn't feel obliged to comment on every picture. First, second, third and other notables should be sufficient. Otherwise the job may become a bit of toil. This would hasten the results and it also relieves them of finding something nice to say about pictures they don't really consider worthy of comment.

I assume you mean 'cropped' but how do you crop to 100%. Does that mean you remove nothing or everything?Such a good reception on the first one. So heres another. Copped to 100% but untouched.

Sorry but, do you really need a new thread for almost each picture? I think it would be better to keep the discussion in one place personally...
I was just about to post a very similar comment.Sorry but, do you really need a new thread for almost each picture? I think it would be better to keep the discussion in one place personally...
Just put the pics up on a gallery somewhere.
I fear death by a thousand Oshkoshs.

I think some of the java-based websites can prevent snaffling of pictures - if you right-click and try and save as.. you get a message telling you that you cannot. However, I can't think of an example at the moment!
Such preventative efforts are a waste of time. If all else fails, you can always take a screenshot.I think some of the java-based websites can prevent snaffling of pictures - if you right-click and try and save as.. you get a message telling you that you cannot.

I saw that but my concerns where different.
If you put your images online, you may as well forget about any claim over them. You've lost control over them. It is as simple as that. If that bothers you, don't put them online or use tiny images or obtrusive watermarks.
My concern was that it is getting less and less likely that what you see in an image ever really existed. Digital images as any sort of record of the past are just about useless.
