I held off posting a response to your suggestion, M'nM, to see what others might have to say. No one has posted anything in almost a week, however, so here are my thoughts.

I, for one, wouldn't want to participate in a photo competition. I can appreciate your well-intentioned thought that such a competition might inspire folks to take more nice photos, but that's not the reason I like to post pictures. Each picture we've seen here, either on the Forum or on PhotoPost, has meant something special to the person who posted it, and the pictures were posted for the purpose of letting others enjoy them too. For us to compete with one another and have some pictures judged to be better than others isn't something I'd want to do. I'd prefer to just let each person judge for himself or herself what each posted picture means to them.

Just my $.02!
