When I read the ongoing discussion about the new front page design and the concerns which came up in connection to the "jury selection" of photos for some of the time slots, I felt the need to work out a way to involve you into this procedure.
Here is what I came up with:
Since this is your community, why should you not be involved in the featuring of the photographers on the starting page?
Well ... let's give it a try and start the thing with 30 available slots for which you can propose the featured photographer!
How do you propose your favourite photographer?
Simple ... all you have to do is the following:
1) Please write a comment to the regarding photo, which explains why you submit this particular photo for the front page.
2) Post a comment to this blog entry with a link to the regarding photo (full link - including http://....)
Some basic rules:
We will not discuss your choice!
But of course we will watch that no "boneheads" try to offend or expose another member and we won't discuss our decission not to use that photo for the front page as well ... ;-)
Self proposals are not allowed for this project!
Le's see how this thing works out ....
Looking forward to see your proposals ... :-)

an effective and fun image that demonstrates the lighter side of all the work and commitment that goes into high-level english riding disciplines such as the dressage training at the spanish riding school in vienna. nothing beats taking your horse out of the arena and out for a regular old fun ride. we've all earned the right to play! this lovely spanish horse is a very patient 'diving platform' ;)

I think this is a bad idea, first have a look at the text forums and you know why, there are only a few members active, it will only work for those few members who are active in the text forums. If you think FC is about to be active in a text forum then it's a good idea, but to my knowledge FC is about communities not about blogging.
On the other side I think the whole idea of the front page is wrong, everybody wants to show there pictures on the front page, I really don't know why some members are on the front page and others not. I find it very annoying that it is not made clear who decides which members are on the front page and which not. By making this front page in this way and being not open about the policy of why placing photo's on the front page you have created A- members and B-members. I'm one of the most active members on FC, but I haven't seen my pictures on the front page yet, this can only mean to me that some one at FC has decided that I'm a B-member, this doesn't matter toe me but it would have been fair if you had contacted me about that fact, now it is only a reason to get very annoyed and even thinking of leaving FC.
