Well done IB. That's a nice shot. But what's going on here? Six people voted for dual power, two people entered. I hope people aren't voting for a theme with no intention of following through with an entry.
I'm thinking general lull. Probably the incident didn't help. Given the activity elsewhere, many expressed they aren't happy with the format or something else. For example I'm sure I'll never win, even if I were the only one entering. And it always feels bad a little. On the other hand, it's nice to simply share my captures. Feels like a nice circle of folks in both threads, and with the unofficial judge rotating, there is chance for each and every style. Most people also use some visual enhancements. Forbidding them is understandable, but makes it inconvenient to juggle installations. People who end up photographing care about visual quality, so ultimately get them. I simply tryhard, but I'm pretty much a lone wolf.
