After reading about the suggestion of a 'second chance' feature for members to resubmit images for consideration for the perms, I wonder if an alternative avenue of displaying favourite images may be considered.
A Personal Favourites Gallery where we could submit one of our existing pictures for a specified time, perhaps a month, after which it would be automatically deleted, or alternatively left there until we chose another personal favourite.
I for one would love to see what members consider their own best work. Many images we like ourselves end up with few comments and a low rating, and the opportunity to say 'hey, look, I like this one, have another look' would be a welcome outlet for many who feel perhaps that particular image had not received the attention they thought or hoped it would before being archived. Perhaps it could include all images in any category , or maybe be reserved for archived ones, either would have advantages.
This way they would be there for moderators to view if they so wished, and if something outstanding was noticed may be reconsidered without the formality of members having to ask for reconsideration, a thing which I myself would not be comfortable doing.
It would not, as a formal 'second chance' outlet would, result in further disappointment if the second chance failed, which probably in most cases it would.
I think it would be really interesting to see others' personal faves, and would open another avenue to discover the galleries of members we may not yet have viewed.
I realise this may be a complicated thing to organise, and may indeed be a dumb idea ( I am full of them lol)
