I am grateful to Matthew for the effort he volunteers to run the challenge and judging. I know it takes less effort than it seems. I am also grateful to Julian for making an effort to find donors for the prizes. Much appreciated and I am waiting with excitement for the arrival of mine - thank you Julian. I suspect it is a hassle for you to organize and I know you have a job and young family.
For me, the turnout is a bit disappointing, especially knowing that some of the best photographers on Shuttertalk are sitting these things out. It kind of takes some of the fun out of it. It is a way of us getting to know each other better and perhaps to chase all of us out to take new photos.
Matthew and Julian, I know you are involved in running the challenge, but since the judging is done by independent judges, I would be quite comfortable if you participated. You certainly both have my trust.
Perhaps after the challenge, we could open the topic challenge and any/all entries for discussion? Just some thoughts
