Does the member who originally posted the picture get some kind of notification that another member linked it to the database? I for instance would like to know. I don't want to be opposed to such action because I think it is helpful in general. But I just want to be kept in the loop in case there is a PARTICULAR picture I would rather not be linked in.
Also, this sounds like fun. But this time of year is way to crazy for me to have time to participate. I'll have to keep it in mind for my winter slow time after the contest is over.
