Bob, don't give up on the 3rd or 4th just yet. From looking at the EP link (http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery-editors-current.php), the latest EPs I've seen are from April 3rd. And no one has reported an EP for the 4th, on this thread. A couple of days ago, folks were reporting EPs for the 2nd, but it took two more days before I got an EP for the 2nd. Meaning, you still might get an EP for third.

Highlighted Comment: I was looking at my entries for this month and realized that I don't know, with confidence, where to enter some of my shots. Elements of Design and Man Made are confusing to me. I still miss the Catch All category. It is like the junk drawer in the kitchen.....when in doubt, throw it into Catch All. This may have been a problem for BP,though.

Very flustered. Have entered 8 and not one EP. I thought I read form BB that they were going t be more generous again. I definately dont expect every shot that was the case a couple years ago but 0 for 8. thats aweful. Hopefully my photography isn't really that bad. Its of course just a hobby for me but still like to think I can occasionally take a photo that is ok.

Jackie, in my opinion you take more than the occasional photo that is better than ok. I wish we knew who does the judging and what they're judging on. I haven't had an EP since the end of Feb. but in fairness to them, I stopped entering as a result of frustration and then entered two at the end of March which were both skipped. The one I entered so far in April is from the 4th.

Are we still not allowed to re-enter pictures to the contest? I didn't get a single EP for April and I feel like several of my entries would have deserved at least an EP. Maybe BP isn't the right place for a wildlife photographer. I thought I had improved, but I'm getting fewer EP's those days.

The word from Jim is: we have a lot more EPs coming for April. My team may even be working on them this weekend or early this week. Hang in there. The competition is steep... especially in the Flowers category. There are simply so many awesome high-quality close-ups of flowers. This makes it what Galen Rowell called a "mature" subject that then requires even more unique and eye-catching compositions and treatments.
