Just bite the bullet and join m4/3 already...

Gordon, don't ever forget this is the internet. For every complaint there are 10 of us who appreciate your reviews. Keep up the good work. And replies like yours, that are factual and rational, ...

...I"m in...

It was pointed out to me that the photo violated the rules, and that may have been the reason for the low votes, but I doubt it. I find it hard to believe any voters would go to that much trouble. ...

Add me to those that really prefer written reviews.

As I said, it's a tall order to expect the host to play cop. That's a lot of work. It's all good...

Voting is so subjective. I voted a couple of the top shots down a bit because they do something I hate: tilted horizons. Normally I score most between 2.5 and 4.5, and rarely, if ever, give a 1.5 ...

No problem! I play fair and hope others do as well. I didn't know I could withdraw an entry from a finished Challenge. Never did that before.

As some have pointed out, the shot violated the rules, so it's been withdrawn. Honestly it's unrealistic to expect the host to research every pic that's submitted, so away it goes. Oh, well. Onward ...

Yes, the photo should have been DQ'd. But it still smacks of sandbagging to me. I'd like to know who the voters were and if that was their reason. As i said, it was an honest mistake, nothing more. ...

Love this shot.

I thought I'd be able to grab a single screen, but really, capturing every image page and posting them here? If you want to see how I voted on a specific image or group, let me know. But copying ...

Google The Wave and you'll see that it really does look that way. The image is a decent representation of what I saw that day.

I know...I've entered a lot of challenges and sometimes this happens. I need to do better with this issue.

Where do I find "my votes?"

I uploaded the photo again since I had forgot I entered it previously. My error. In that case the host should have DQ'd it. It was just a mistake on my part, not an attempt to circumvent the rules.

I think if you ever shot an Olympus E-M1 II with the 12-100 f4 mounted it would be life changing.

I just can't figure this one out, aside from the obvious answer. Two 0.5 votes? No more challenges for me, at least for a long time. Ego aside, I didn't think this shot warranted those votes. https ...

Thanks! But a couple of voters disagreed and hit me with a 0.5. Welcome to Sandbagging 101.

Shoot raw, crop in post. Why limit yourself?
