Last year was also the first year we had a Free Study every month. I think that had an effect on the number of entries in the Best of 2007.

Which brings up a huge dilemma.

Which Free Study gets my Free Study Comment Experiment? January or Best of? lol.

Coin toss!

Wow. I didn't realize that was a relatively new feature.

but don't forget... the rule about a photo can only be used for one challenge only still applies!!

anything you have entered in 2008 already, you can't put in the 'best of 2008' as well.

i like to think of this challenge as 'the best of the free study out takes'
i.e. your best 2nd best shot from the 12 months!
