my impression Didier,  is that offered PAW images often generate much  
more discussion that the contest images...which have been discussed  
little if at all.

I would like to see the contest images in particular, be discussed  
openly and critically... to make this contest a learning experience  
for all of us.

If this is not done, the contest is of little help or interest to me...
