Hmm. "Lame" is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. Although the topic may be
difficult to express purely visually, I think it's a wonderful idea.

I don't think there's any real difference in the range of quality than usual
insofar as artistic and technical expression goes (where "usual" is "over the
course of the last year or so" in which I've been viewing all the images each
round). Concept is generally a matter of opinion in any event but particularly
so for this round, which may affect one's opinion of how "good" the round is
conceptually.

Fabien Mosen opined there were no clear winners -- I assume meaning no image
really stood out as excellent, which I disagree with. Obviously I won't name the
particular image I have in mind but you'll be able to tell (if you're the type
that reads comments) by the gushing praise in my comment on it after the round
ends. :)

There were also a few cute interpretations of the topic (and no, I don't mean
the toilet images) which I got a chuckle from (and in at least one case thought
was also rather well done in general), and a few other images other than my
"clear winner" which I thought were gorgeous... and, of course, the usual few I
really didn't like. Nothing noteworthy about the distribution from my point of
view, in other words.
