Thanks to Robert for summary and to everyone else for throwing ideas into the ring

Am not that bothered about anonymity; if a pic is interesting, so is the gallery etc of who took it (assuming it exists). Especially in the quite frequent case that there are 3 or 4 of such merit that it is difficult to choose. In that case I personally would veer to a younger and/or more adventurous entrant. But I can see that more experienced people may see subtelties that I don't.

Other featured pics or galleries seem a good additional idea, especially when postings are coming as thick and fast as at present and one can have missed 50 or 60 when out of action even for a couple of days
