Take the LWitG for what it is...an added feature. A li'l something extra! We should all realize that it is NOT a contest by any means. I can't speak for how Doug or Cyn made/make their choices, but when I was helping out with this as coord, I went through and viewed ALL postings during that weeks time period. I did not use some "secret formula or criteria" when selecting images. There were no Official Photo Forum Guidelines to follow! It was what stood out to me, caught my eye or touched me in someway. Hey, but WHO AM I?, just some guy who's into PHOTOGRAPHY, I have no background in "ART", I'm not a professional Photographer.does this fact make the selections I MADE in past LWitG's any less valuable? Did it SKEW the results? Maybemaybe not? Y'know just because youre a Mod or Coordinator here doesn't make you better or more of an authority on things than anyone else. You can see why not a whole lot of "weight" should be put on the outcome presented here. It all comes down to personal choice in the end. Whether its a forum "team" or one person, doesn't really matter... its still all based on THEIR choice or preference in the long run. Everyone has different views and perspectives which affect the choices we make. Just like the infamous "HOT 20" is not a reflection of the majority of talent here at Render, so too should the LWitG be viewed. Again it iswhat it is!
