I saw angry swede's in the thread and immediately knew that was the one I was voting for prior to the voting thread going up. I like the composition and interpretation of relationship in that one.
And I'm not normally one to criticize entries but I don't get Steve's. It's two pictures on top of each other with captions explaining relationship. I personally don't consider that a photo. That's more of a composition. Guess I'm splitting hairs here but would like to see the idea in a single exposure or at least multiple exposure with the same framing. *shrug*

Heh... I'm honored to be chosen, but my entry was more tongue-in-cheek than anything.
I really just wanted to show off my sweet PS skills.

Is it just me, or has participation been down for the few MPCs?

Participation is definitely down. I for one have been hobbled by my recent surgery and haven't been out shooting at all. I had some ideas for this one but given limited mobility, PT appointments, other things that need my attention right now, and work, just haven't had the time or inclination to get out and pursue photography.

Yea, I've been meaning to contribute my mediocre work to the past few mpcs, but there's just something about working full time, going to grad school full time, and having 2 kids under 3 that makes free time for hobbies pretty hard to come by...

All fair points. I wasn't trying to call anyone out or anything, just commenting on something I'd noticed. I guess I'm also pretty new to having a decent camera, so there is still a lot of excitement for me to take pictures of different subjects and topics. At least the reduced participation gives me better odds of getting my mediocre shots into the top 5.

I think there are too many of them. One a month would be awesome.

I agree with Tipp. I haven't shot for the MPC in a long ass time, mostly because my life resembles Jay's, but a longer window, even if not a month, would probably see more entry's.

ahhhh, the relationship between freckles and red hair. always a winner in my book.

I don't really throw in because I don't think my photos hold a candle.
But, I think allowing repeats is a good idea. Some of the broader themes have probably been used, and allowing re-use of those broad themes would allow more participation.
I voted for angry swede because its a clever interpretation of the theme. Of course, all you old guys have kids and voted for the obvious entry.

From an observer, what about two concurrent MPC's, one month long each (staggered two weeks to keep it fresh for the regulars). i.e. the winner of this would start #104 and then #105 two weeks later, each running 1 month. Then back to the regular one winner starts the next one.
I'm normally way too busy to even think about a shot, but normally when I have a minute to dig my camera out of the closet, I'm out of time, or worried that I won't have a chance to process and upload, etc.I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

I just looked and it seems like the past 4 or 5 MPCs have run about 12 days apiece (except #101 which was extended..)
The jump to a month seems kinda drastic to me, what about something like 15-20 days?
Here's my proposal:
Start the next MPC on Friday. Run it for 17 days until the Sunday 2+ weeks later.. vote from Monday till Thursday and start again on the Friday 22 days (3 weeks) from the previous one.
That way it'll be consistent and we get 3 weekends per contest to get out and shoot.
Also fwiw I like the plan of recycling old ideas...

^^ Both good ideas.

that's exactly what i was thinking.
i also like the idea of a standardized time frame, but also think a month is too long. maybe a month per contest, including a week for voting. Oft times the maggot running the contest wil say they won't be able to pick the finalists until they get back from their weekend, etc. In that case the contest should still end, and that time should come out of the voting period.
