That would be a good idea. I've seen some shots lastly that were good but badly oversaturated (I guess it's because of a badly calibrated screen).
BTW, I see some shots by Ben have now been accepted in the PPG.
I'm also wondering how the selection process works. I can see that when popular votes are negatives, your pictures can get rejected quite fast. But sometimes, the pictures last until the last day when all pictures get rejected/accepted by the PPG judges. It's always a bit disapointing when you feel you had the popular vote but somehow the judges decided against your pictures.
And it's always puzzling when you feel that the shots you think are the best are rejected while the lesser ones are accepted. But it's probably normal, we cannot ask people to have the same connection as we have we our own pictures.
