Katherine (KAS Photography) says:

I just have to say...this is probably one of the best, most well-run groups I've seen on Flickr. So often with Flickr groups that run theme competitions, admins are slow about announcing winners, the themes are unoriginal or lack creativity, and it seems like the contests/competitions are almost always won by the more "professional" or "expert" photographers. What I love about this group is the efficiency with how it's run, the constant change of pace and variety of photographs, and the fact that the constantly-changing themes provide a chance for a more intriguing or interesting or unique photograph to win versus the best quality photograph. The constantly-changing themes also provide a constant flow of new work, which is always a pleasure to see. I love how this group has provided a constant challenge to how creative one can be with their photographs and their competition ideas. I look forward to continue contributing to this group, as well as admiring the work of others that comes through the group. Well done, admins, well done. :)

I agree as well. Though there are certain periods of the day when this group slows down and it's hard to get the topics updated. I'm sure time zones have a lot to do with this but it's usually in the middle of my day.

I am not an Admin but I found that as a general user I have the ability to assist them in keeping things moving. As you get more familiar with the group you will be able to see how to assist the Admins and facilitate progress. I always find it enjoyable to see how people progress and I am so happy with the way this group works.

These are nice words , I hope all the admins read all this topic very soon!
It's good to be encouraged sometimes.
Anyway let me remember you that to mantain the main window clean for the challenges , it's better to use the daily (Nov 21 Chat ) chat topic to write and leave comments .

Thank you

I haven't been able to pull myself away since discovering the group a couple of weeks ago. I often wonder if anyone gets any sleep around here....Oh and when do you get the time to give your camera some fresh air {{{Laughter}}}. I agree the group is well run and the images are truly inspiring for a beginner like myself. Keep up the good work Flikr Junkies ; )

I have to agree with the praise. It is very well maintained and the admins are on top of things. Great Job all around. However, I have to maintain that I am not addicted. Hey isn't denial the first sign of addiction. Oh well.

Absolutely! One of the greatest groups on Flickr in my opinion. This is a great way to see amazing new work from such a tremendous variety of photographers around the world. Thank you for keeping things so tightly organized!

The work the admins do on this site is FANTASTIC. However, sorry if I sound like an old gripe, but it would assist admins so much, if everyone checked their vote, after entering it, as sometimes, when people vote at the same time, it can muck up the scoring and a simple edit soon resolves the problem.

Sharlini is a group administrator Sharlini  Pro User  says:

And if you're voting after a muck-up, it would help too if you adjusted your vote accordingly. It's easier to correct one or two mistakes than going through a long list of votes. Try scanning through the votes as you scroll down, and before you post your vote, hit 'preview'. There's always been people sneaking up and voting first when I make my votes.

And thank you for the praise, Katherine. We do try to make things run smoothly here, with a minimum of drama. As for the themes, the winners and challengers are the ones who set the themes. Kudos to them for the wide range of themes. So praise all around for a great group!
