Photos are now correctly posted and you should all be able to see them. Don't forget to hit "refresh" on your browser...

The first place photo in the Action category looks very cool. Excellent action and really nice composition. Quote: |

I thought that you'd be taking the highest scoring submission we made in each category. Not that I'm complaining this time. But it should perhaps be made more clear in future contests how multiple submissions from one photographer (in the same category and in different categories) will be handled.
Thanks for the contest! | |

| You make a good point, and we've learned some things in this first contest. Since we didn't stipulate more specifically about multiple entries, beyond limiting to five per category, we wanted to be as fair as possible and ensure the best photos were awarded -- regardless of it being from any number of photographers (including just one or two).
Expect that in upcoming contests we'll be a bit more specific.
Any other suggestions about any part of the contest? | |

All of the photos sent in got saved to a single folder and then scored. After we picked the winners, I had to go back through all of the entries to figure out who submitted what.
