For me, that's all part of the game, seeing how people think when selecting their shots - it's often like punning with pictures - some very imaginative and humorous selections in some months. A couple of months of comments published with judges names would start some people entering to cater to the tastes of particular judges and not on the competitive merits of the their entries.
