I looked for good quality photos. I did make note of names so I could check to see if that photo was already in the database. Looking for names made that process easier. It seems I also associated a couple by people who subsequently said they did not want their photos associated. I was enjoying the contest up to that point. Not so much after that. So I also hope people check their settings. But over all I thought this was a great idea and fun to do.
I agree that we need more photos showing more than blooms or fruits.
