Just brainstorming a bit, but I wonder why we need to know what people are working on with an empty photo rather than looking at a completed project and critiquing it. Perhaps all we need is the completed latest 50 photos.
Also, as this category grows and we have more than 50 photos completed, where do the other older photos go and how can we look at them again, or new members look at them or find them?
On the Forum page you can scroll down and find a category and go into it, like Portraits, and just view Portraits. So could the Projects be added there so we could see everything?
At the very least, a link with the photographers name to their gallery would be helpful on Projects page.
Hope I'm helping and not confusing.
