    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    It looks to me as though that straight A son has a good sense of humor, too. Just judging from what I've seen so far...

    The Dgrin Photo Of The Year - 2006

    Does that mean it has to have been shown already? No photos from now 'til the end of the contest will be allowed?

    Are re-worked(brightness/contrast) photos allowed of previous posts?

    Just wonderin'...

    I was going to claim it, since it's much better than any of mine, but Truth might not appreciate my sense of humor!!! :D

    POTY entry...um...why is my file name my caption rather than my caption being my caption? I kinda dig it in an abstract acid trip in space kinda way but I'm not sure it's doing much for the image in this particualr setting.

    "Hard to Sleep" was the intended caption.

    You didn't give us a caption with the email, nor your name.

    I fixed it.

    Nice shot, Dave. I hadn't seen that whenever it was you posted it the first time around.

    That's my entry. I'm on the road right now so that's the biggest file I have access to. Shot in June this past year.

    P.S. what's a challenge entry?
