The comment you left in the exhibition gallery voting booth has me
wondering. Why did photos without the photographers name on the
thumbnail NOT capture your attention? Are you casting a vote for
the photo or the photographer?
I never put my name on the thumbnail......I want my photos to stand
on their own merits. Does that mean that you never consider my
photos when you are voting? Do you even look at them?
I am interested to know....I am sure that the other photographers
who don't add their name to the thumbnail are also interested to
know why their photos didn't capture your attention too. Some of
them are superb.

Which is exactly why I don't put my name on the thumbnail, but DO attach it to the photo in the gallery. This does not make it a blind voting system......all the names are there in the galleries, but it makes it a little fairer, because then ALL the interesting/good/dramatic/well composed photos get clicked on and looked at...not just the ones taken by those who's work you already know and admire.

I am just curious to know why Mark dismissed, out of hand, all the
photos that did not have the names on the thumbnails. Does having
the name there make it a better photo?

I've had it in for you since Day One and flatly refuse to look at, much less vote for, any of your images. Something about Brits named "Phil" who share photos of their kidz presses all the wrong buttons. Change your name (e.g. Psycho3200) and I'll reconsider.

I guess this really exemplifies the saying 'to each his own'. Seems many of the entries look liberty in defining light, and many also took the opportunity to use their imagination in the shots...that is what I really liked about this competition (and all the competitions), I get so many good ideas and effects I want to try after seeing all the great entries.
Let me clarify: I didn't say it was WRONG to try "special effects" or shooting lights, I just wanted to explain why I chose like I did. My personal preferences are just such that I am much more impressed with a simple shot supported by good lighting, than I am with an advanced shot of some unusual light source or phenomenon. That's why I specifically wrote "to me".
