I hope you do submit it. One of the reasons I wanted to discuss images
beyond the top 10 is because those images are often some of the best. The
IRTC is voted on by many people using a lot of different criteria, and the
results are an average, and not necessarily a good one at that. There are a
lot of images to judge, and most people don't have a lot of time. I find,
looking back and reading comments, that I often didn't properly appreciate
many entries.

As an artist, it's great to find that others "get" your work, and the IRTC
often fails at that. Probably all art contests are like that, though. I'd
hoped that further discussion of the works might bring some of that out.
