Orphan Works Bills Introduced In Senate, House
The two Orphan Works bills introduced in the House and Senate may be an improvement over the proposal that died in committee in 2006, but some artists' groups still oppose the legislation. If passed, the new bills will require the Copyright Office to certify searchable electronic databases of orphaned visual works so that the public can see them.

Overall Comments:
After the winners, the quality really dropped off in most categories. We thought that the winning features were very strong. There was quite a bit of excessive use of the shadow/highlight and burn tools on a couple photos that really hurt the quality of the images. Sports was a strong catigory with really strong March Madness photos. We struggled with Portraits, Features and Picture Stories. These catigories felt like their could be better oppertunities for stronger images with moments and lighting.
