Last year I was stressing to find the time to judge each category. Seemed like there were too many good photos.
Voting was easier for me this year. I happened to wake up at something like 3 in the morning with a headache - not a normal thing for me. I took two asprin and a glass of milk then spent an hour just looking at the pretty photos. No need to read any words. By the time the hour was over I had completed every category, had a few good laughs (empty containers, animal running off with an apple, etc.) and the headache was history.
It was kind of funny to see my own photos (which I thought were so worthy) next to the really good photos. I am humbled.
