Moderator's Musing - What a Week!

My normal mode of operation during the week is to flag those images that I think are most worthy of consideration for the EP and then review them on Sunday before consulting the ouija board and other forms of expert analysis. I usually have between 8 - 10 shots I seriously consider. I try to post links to the runners up as well as to the final pick. Well, this past week I had no less than 24 images flagged! This was far and away the most spectacular week this forum has enjoyed since I've become moderator. I did finally judge Mike Moats' Largetooth Aspens the best of a fabulous lot. Thanks to all who post and comment on the finest Flora forum on the planet. Keep 'em coming! >=))>

Hey Bill, Thanks for tthe pick, its tough to win IOW with all the great images being posted.

Good work Mike, it really helps to me measure my work.

Great choice Bill. Congrats Mike. Flora is (are?) really cooking these days. I am attracted by choice of subject, but most amused by composition. There is a very impressive range of both talents shown in Flora. The thing I strive for is an intersection of subject, composition and technical excellence. Mike Moats has found a sweet spot and keeps hitting them out of the park.

Congratulations Mike, I missed your shot during the week but I'm glad to catch up it now. Brilliant work as always.

I didn't envy your job as moderator last week, Bill...there were a lot of outstanding images posted!

Congrats, Mike!
