Sounds like a great idea... the only thing is if the judge is someone on this 
list, then they've probably seen my favorite photos I've done and wouldn't be 
as impressed the 2nd or 3rd time they've seen it.... it would have to be 
someone who hasn't seen our photos (on webpages... or ones we've shown in any 
way before) right?   ;-)
