Paul,
I made the prints I sent. I just didn't take the pictures. (And neither did
the printer manufacturer.)

I don't mind not being considered for prizes (although if the rules had been
clear I would have done differently), but I went to some trouble to find the
examples, print them, and mail them, and I wouldn't be happy to have my
contribution disregarded entirely.

P.S. Actually one of the nice things about digital is that if you can find
full files on the web to download, you can print an "original" picture from
any given camera on your own equipment. It matters not to the final result
whether you downloaded somebody else's picture from the web or from your own
camera after having taken it yourself. As somebody who has spent a lot of
time over the years procuring cameras to try them and see what they can do,
this is a nice advantage--I now have "original" E-20 prints made on my
equipment despite the fact that I have never taken any pictures with the
E-20.
