After an excellent "tour of duty" moderating the Weekly Challenge gallery, Carolyn Derstine is taking a much-deserved break from moderating duties. Our sincere thanks to Carolyn for her time and effort!
Stepping up to take on the role is Mark Seaver, a talented and well known participant in the NPN galleries and forums. We have no doubt he will do a great job and continue to inspire us with his excellent photography!
On behalf of the entire NPN membership, our sincere thanks to both Carolyn and Mark!
Jim, sounds like a very positive update for both individuals.
Carolyn has done a stellar job performing the moderator duties in the WC gallery for quite sometime as I recall. A very well deserved break there no doubt.
Welcome Mark to the position and I know already you're going to do an excellent job for the NPN crowd......
Thanks to Carolyn for all of her hard work and dedication. Her thoughtful insights into all of our photos really made the WC gallery a fun place to be.
Thank you, Carolyn, you've been a most diligent and careful moderator of the WC gallery. Welcome, Mark, there couldn't have been a better choice to take over this position! to you both!
Carolyn, thank you so much for your thoughtful constructive critiques, great topical ideas, suggestions for improvements and for participating with your own contributions to the WC Gallery. I know you deserve a break for a spell, but I also know you will continue to watch and contribute.
Mark, thank you for stepping up to take on this new responsibility. You also have been very constructive in your critiques and suggested improvements. Not to mention contributing a lot with your own photos and suggestions for topics.
I wish more people would take advantage of the learning opportunities available with the Weekly Challenges. I know I have learned a lot through this process.
Many thanks, Carolyn, for all your perceptive and encouraging comments as Moderator - you have done a wonderful job !!! Mark : delighted to see you taking on this role - you have always been so assiduous and thoughtful in your critiques.
Thanks everyone for your kind comments! Yes, it was time for a break from moderating, but I still do plan to participate on NPN as time allows. I often recommend NPN to others for its gentle but honest critiquing, and all the great people on this site. Mark Seaver is one of those great people and I'm sure he will do an outstanding job as moderator!
