    The best thing about a photo is the journey that brought you to it.

    The Mini's are not a voting system. The judge creates the topic and then selects a winner. The winner wins the right and responsibility to come up with a new topic and be the judge for that. Some judges write more or less about what drove their love about a certain photo that made it stand out for them. It's all pretty loose.

    The judge is ill
    Hi there. Lauren (Redleash) asked me to let everyone know that she'll be back when she can to judge these incredible entries. She's been in hospital for a few days with pneumonia. I know you'll all join me in wishing her a complete and speedy recovery.

    Dylan, I see red Xs instead of pictures. I think there is a setting in your gallery that you need to change, but I am not sure what it is. Love the lightning pictures!

    Yeah, they said it had something to do with my makeup. Not sure what they meant by that.

    Hello, everyone--

    I am so very sorry for the delay--I guess that going into the hospital was the only way I could think of to avoid judging these magnificent entries!

    Thank you all for your warm wishes. I returned home a couple of days ago. I'm still spending lots of time resting on the couch and am going nowhere near a camera or my truck. I'm sure I will go through withdrawal, so I will try to make up for it by looking at everyone else's work. I will try to get this judged as soon as humanly possible.

    By the way, I came down with pneumonia as a result of a bacterial infection from, of all things, WATER!!

    Thanks again for your support and patience.

    Best regards,
    Lauren

    Speedy recovery! As someone said previously, the entries aren't going anywhere.

    However, it just makes the :lurk that much more. rolleyes1.gif

    Getting a bacterial infection from water sounds scary!

    Glad you're home and on the mend. Take your time, your health and well-being are #1. Judging this mini can wait.

    The water made you sick! You obviously tested the waters for us (thank you) and we should obviously switch to BEER! Wine wouldn't be bad either.
    Hope this finds you feeling much better. Justpeachy2

    Hi there Lauren,
    Hope you get back on your feet quick.
    I agree, no more regular water for you--it's hot toddy time. Whatever the boiling water doesn't kill the brandy will.

    Bottoms up.

    Brandy . . . why didn't I think of that?

    I'm feeling a bit more human today so I am working on the judging. No promises but I will post as soon as I can!

    Thanks again for your patience and kind wishes! :D
