In the interest of helping in the editing. Would it be possible to set
up a web site where someone on the list could post 4 pictures to be
critiqued to help those of us still struggling with that process? Often
I find my preferences are related to association with the subject,
versus the merit of the photo by itself. Would this be a useful
exercise, or is it too much work to implement?

Wayne,
Gave this some thought. A "public kiosk" for posting photographs to would
not be that easy to set up and would be very difficult to control in terms
of upload access and security. To do all this would require no small
amount of javascript or possibly Perl encoding. These types of things do
not run themselves; if anything those that sponsor something like it (been
there; done that) find out very quickly how much time and effort is
required to maintain it. The more dynamic it is (throughput of data,
postings, images, memeber access, etc.) the more maintenance effort that's
required.
Probably the best method is for you to set up your own "free" site on a
system such as GeoCities, post your images there, and then request a
critique of them. A little work for you, but setting up some basic pages
for this in HTML is rather simple. Netscape 4.X and 6.X come with
"Composer" which is a basic HTML editor and it's free. There are other
basic editors around also. Most free site hosts such as GeoCities even
offer an on-line "builder" so you can create pages on-line versus doing it
on the desktop and then transferring them to the site via FTP.
