9. technical info

On some of these contests it seems like the technical skills in getting a particular shot might be important to consider. Like the brandy glass is a cool photo, but I've got no idea how it fits with the light theme. Did he shine red light on it? Use red filters? No idea. Same with the strawberries. I clearly see the light/shadow on the faucet, but was that harder than whatever the person who took the strawberries had to accomplish. I've got no clue. Would it be possible for the photographers to be allowed one line of technical info?

22. ATTENTION "In a Dome of Light" is broken for me.

Cannot access image -- is bandwidth exceeded?

29. Can you see it now?

The photographer who took that is under 13, so not allowed to have a Photobucket account, so I'm hosting it on my website. Unfortunately, Eskimo tends to go down at times. Is it up now?

32. they say "a picture is worth a 1,000 words" implying that the pic *is* the context...

or at least able to be derived from within the pic itself: so that when the 'digicam forum' is able to explain just where the "context" of photography is located...i will respond
