That's a good point - I certainly _DO NOT_ want to scare anyone off who
is new to stereo photography! I'm not sold on eliminating the categories,
and I do want to emphasize again that any voting is JUST FOR FUN!

The only reason for grouping the voting by format (a whim on my part)
was that I thought it might be easier - an "apples vs. apples"
comparison.

Fine with me - I need time myself ;)  What do the rest of you think?
Email me privately if you wish - 

Lauren - you could enter your Poinsetta slide - IMHO it's a winner!
BTW - did you simply take lots of those in-camera, or have them duped?
