Could we not simply stipulate that permission has to be obtained first?
I have no objection to discussing other members' work at all, but I don't think I would want it to turn into mostly members' work, as there is already some space for that in the galleries.

If you had made this a poll then I would vote yes. I love seeing how different people interpret an image in multiple ways. The previous examples have been a great examples of open forum discussion.
Ok, Apug members images are fine, but you must get permission from that person as I consider this forum seperate from the intent they had when they orginally posted an image to any of the regular galleries.
I don't think it will skew to APUG images. We got a pretty eclectic bunch of folks interested to start and as others rotate in and out I think we will have a nice mix of images from classics to unknowns.
We will be adding new images every 3 days or so. Various images will generate different levels of discussion. Some may produce few posts others dozens. But I think the forum will generate a lot of visits and get others thinking about how they look at and think about photographs.
I would simply ask that you post a new thread each time in the Photographers Forum and title it with the format Discuss a (photographers name) photograph..
What ever the number of people, we will simply keep going rotating through the list.
I think that you're not rotating through any kind of list. Is this a regulated process or just a big free-for-all? If it's the latter, then I'd like to post one.
I was going to have a list of folks who wanted to put up an image and rotate through it so there would regularly be an image under consideration but there is enough people who post out of the blue that it is not needed.
So if you want to post one go for it.
Also thanks to everyone who has either posted an image or contributed to the discussions. I have discovered some new photographers along the way and some new perspectives on others as well.
