manley, How would you suggest that the moderators choose? Art is highly arbitrary, and this is not a vacuum - there are personal issues, there are histories. Technical skill? That's great, but I've seen technically-skilled artists who made no impact, and less-skilled artists who managed to make me agog at the concepts they were able to use to convey something. Emotional impact? Not everyone responds to things the same way. I'm less likely to resonate to photography than I am to, say, a small hand-painted or digitally crafted image that reflects something inside the artist. (That being said, bring on the baby pictures. We loves them. :D) See the problem? RC
