Interesting that 7 of the top 8 all have one and only one low score . . . I assume all coming from the same person sandbagging the best entries. Pathetic.

Since I host and see some of the wacky ways voters vote, I would like to say, I've seem some people put 40 of 50 votes in at .5 and they may only give a 1 2 or 3 to the rest. People do funny things with the .5's and it can be just about anyone doing it so we need to be as careful as we can not to make bad assumptions.

Barb, spot on !

This is the problem with an absolute voting system, everyone has their own version of what deserves a 2 star vote, a 5 star vote and a 0.5 star vote . . . a relative system, where voters pick their top 5 or top 10 or top x, is preferable and more consistent.

As you start the voting my friend, Please remember. Vote only for the Pictures which satisfies these two rules

1. You cannot Photoshop yourself to a background
2. Add border, and give a detail on how you did that amazing work.

I have removed many, but i still believe there are more. Hope we would bring out the best of all.

Hi
Can I add a border, details and re-submit because I think I have a really great shot and it took time to compose?

If the Host had done his job and DQed your entry you would have known there was a problem with it . . . then you could have re-submitted a valid entry, now you are just going to get 0.5s because you didn't follow the rules and because the Host is an Idiot.

" Add border, and give a detail on how you did that amazing work."

isn't this a rule ?

1 upvote

yes ! of course .. Voters .. Please note and do accordingly !

It's your job to DQ those that don't meet your rules so the Entrant then has time to amend and resubmit their Entry. Or don't you want them to do that ?
