    However, if it is theme-related and subject to individual interpretation, I would say "yes".

    So my vote is no-yes

    As if a vote by a nature-guy counts

    LOL.... even PaulNJ's vote would count....... but I think a bird would bomb him if he shot anything BUT nature

    So that it wasn't biased towards particular sports.

    Look at the Architecture project - we sneaked some racetracks into their project

    In fact, can't we try to get sports into the monthly project?
    Just our interpretation of the monthly theme.

    Just our interpretation of the monthly theme.

    That wasn't interetation though Paul, it IS architecture, just as any other manmade building or even stadium so I don't think we snuck anything past them.

    It does seem though the majority of favorable votes has felt the theme is the way to go. I still see a problem with the numbers, 187+ viewers of the thread and 19 votes for, thats seems to be a large number that hadn't voted. Granted we have lots of "lurkers" who don't post but I doubt the gap is that large.

    One of my hopes was to pull in some of those lurkers.

    I wouldn't worry so much about those numbers. Look at a lot of very popular threads and you will see disappropriate number of posters to viewers. It is just the nature of the forum.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Maybe it could be seasons of the year. (Fall sports, Winter sports, Spring sports and Summer sports). Just a thought.
