Very well and very lucidly put. I have been a very rare contributor to the PUG, despite occasional bursts of good intentions. One reason is that for the last 6 years Pentax has not been my main camera brand, and I don't want to keep going through old photos. Another important reason for this is that frankly I find the themes rather unchallenging and unimaginative. Themes like "What is it?" "Askew" "Geometrical" and "Patterns" strike me as utterly trite and unlikely to encourage good photography - the kind of thing you'd give a school class to do as an exercise in beginning composition.
