Ellis,

Remember that PAW's will go up and down. The posters are looking to 
force themselves to put up an image each week, and therefore the 
quality of that image will vary with opportunity and the phase of the 
moon. It doesn't help to be too critical, as that can start the LUG 
down the slippery slope, but many of the comments are aimed at 
critic: ie crop here, dodge there, PS that out etc. Also, not many of 
us are really in a position to be TOO critical ;-)

Cheers
