This is the same hawk i posted before, but on flight at a lower level from where I was on a high point. The background is a clear sky above the valley below.

There's an (unspoken?) constraint on the Photo of the Day thread that only one photo can be posted...and for the life of me I cannot figure why this would be. (Holdover from the days when memory was more expensive maybe?)
My question is this....is it possible to change the format of this thread, the one that gets (by far) the most hits in a given month, in such a way that it would have more value added to this community? What if it were "Photos of the Day" or "C&C for the day" or something like that.
Thoughts?
Very nice image. With my most sincere respect for you and the model, I find it alluring in many ways.

I don't see why something so successful needs fixing. I'm in favor of the "one per day" rule for a couple of reasons. For one, it forces people to be critical in their selections. Secondly, it keeps the "pace" of the thread reasonably slow, advancing a page per day at most, and allowing people the chance to engage with other. With fast-moving threads, like big news items on the main MR page, comments tend to get lost in the abyss.
We have a C&C thread now, the "challenge" thread, and multiple postings are allowed in that one. If someone wants feedback on a whole batch of photos, they can start a separate thread for the purpose; lots of folks do this, and they always get lots of feedback.
So I think things are working pretty well as they are.

I'm liking the way this thread currently works.
My though is that limiting this to one photo per day per participant gives this thread a nice eclectic mix of photos to look at without having to burden people with 20 photos of their pet dog (for example).
Some year's ago I gave myself the assignment of shooting this lake at the start of each month , from the same place , with the same focal length lens .I'm trying to duplicate that assignment in digital now .
