That IS good. I clearly have to think outside the box!!!!!

[andrew]

Wouldn't it be better if we just post our photos in the thread rather than sending masses of PM's?

The point was for anonymity so I wouldn't win every month due to my popularity.

Well seeing this is the only answer I've got to my query, we'll have to go with it.

[racechick]

Answer two. (I didn't reply before because it is in the opening statement). Anonymity means people will vote objectively on the picture they feel is the best. So pm'ing rather than posting ensures anonymity.

[andrew]

Well the reason isn't stated but whatever. I thought posting direct into the thread would ease the burden on the competition host. Surely we can be trusted to judge each photo on its aesthetic merits alone regardless of who took it?

[What's Burning?]

It's Spanky's contest, maybe PM him if you think your way is better and make/discuss that suggestion. I don't see the benefit of people posting their images directly as it's supposed to be judged on the basis of the image standing on its own without any extraneous influences. I thought I was clear with my response even though I put in in joke form as I often tend to do.

No , you're correct, the reason for anonymity isn't stated in the opening thread, but the fact that its anonymous is. I guess the reason is assumed.

Thought the topic is speed? This looks rather slow - was that you slowchick?

[racechick]

and where's your entry ??
Anyway it might not be me. And it might just be that, that car was going so fast it lapped the field. That would be very speedy

[What's Burning?]

That's two Vodaphone McLaren Mercedes in one contest... Are we sure the topic is 'speed'?

[Jabberwocky]

It is because everyone here are closet McLaren fans

[andrew]

What a terrible thing to say!
