okay guys, we've had experience now with two different ways. let's try a third way this challenge, and see how it goes.
post your image for comment and critique right here in the challenge section. give it a subject like this:
* challenge 21: {image title}
and then post your image in the body of the message. each *post will have one photo in it. folks can go to each message, leave you comments and critiques. you can easily see which photos are in need of critique, by looking for the * (asterisk) that heads up each subject line.
if you've decided to remove an image from consideration, kindly edit the post and remove the * (asterisk) from the subject line.

“Maybe we trying to find a cure without looking at the cause!
The C & C thread is supposed to be for shots we are considering entering into the challenge. Although it fulfills this purpose very well it seems it’s also used as a showcase and a tool for deferring our decisions. I know I am guilty of doing this! The resulting “blob” (:D as it was described) is what has caused all of the recent debate
In my mind the challenges are to enjoy, hopefully we learn something on the way, bonus! We have restricted our challenge entries to one shot, mainly to help us develop self critique and our selection process. It’s tough sometimes but I believe this has really worked well.
Maybe, all we need to do is apply some of this self critique & selection to our entries in the C&C and limit the number of entries. I’m not suggesting any more rules, just a change in perspective.”

there are many folks who feel that any of these methods are too complicated.
the gallery is gone - for this challenge.
after challenge 21, we'll take a poll and see which of the three methods folks like best

lynnie - could you link your images from your smug acct rather than uploading them as attachments to dgrin? it makes it easier for me when and if you get chosen as a finalist

I do need walking through this new thing
To Quote Andy:
"Each image will have one photo in it"
(If you get famous Andy, I could submit that to Letterman, maybe, or I am reading it wrong?)
yeah, i meant, "each thread will have one image in it"
thanks.

I think this is a good idea. It seems similar to the FM method, and that seems to work pretty well. I would keep the tips thread as well to allow for more back and forth discussion. Thanks again for the time you give to this challenge.
