--I'd like to thank the participants of Challenge 7, "Portraits", for
a compelling set of images. Strong participation, a lot of new
names, great work by all. Voting starts now and closes in two days
(23:59 GMT ~ 6:59PM EST on Thursday). I will post the results an
hour thereafter. Click here to see the Close of Voting time for
your locale...

Before voting, I beg your indulgence and seek your input. With
this iteration, I use the voting thread to get community input on
two points having to do with the timeframes for Challenges. The
questions should be self-explanatory. The Challenge 7 voting rules
appear in the section thereafter...
REFERENDUM
In some respects, the last two Challenges have seemed to drag on a
bit. At the same time, both have seen a surge of entries in the
closing days. A balance to strike, so, your thoughts....
(a) How long should a Challenge run? [Pick just one , your
"sweet-spot"]...
1. Cross two (2) weekends
2. Run two (2) full weeks
3. Cross three (3) weekends
4. Even longer
(b) Is it OK if the Voting Thread overlaps (starts or ends during)
the weekend?
1. Nope
2. Yep
Subsequent hosts will still determine the schedules. I'll just
tally your feedback and make it known to those that follow.
