Once the theme went 'Anything goes'.... many entries flowed in! Perhaps it is the relative ease of choosing photos we have taken may be the cause. Some themes I personally felt were hard to decide if the ones we have qualifies or not. Good participation is the key to 'competition'. I'm also not one to vote for my own photo.@LIcenter i never vote for my own photo as a matter of practice, i used to though, but then i discovered it was more fun to vote for the photo i like the best from the other contributions. I am not interested in the winning so much as in the process. As a competitor, i am a real dud
