October 2012 - voting

[odklizec]

October contest open for voting! Thank you all for very nice entries!

As always, the voting will be open for next 7 days. This month, you can, but you don't need to, select up to 10 photos!

In case of too low number of votes or split vote, I reserve the right to select the winner myself.

Please, don't vote for yourself! Be fair and vote for a competitor's work! Thank you!
BTW, the voter's name is always visible in the little combo box displaying the percentage. And once the vote is cast, it cannot be changed!

"You may select up to 10 options."

It's possible to select almost half of the pictures. Is that how it is intended?

 

[panonski]

I would like to bring back rule to vote on just one photo.
Some of us vote for ONE, samo for TEN shots in a row. It's just can't be right

 

[Khortal]

i thought it was up to 'Five' votes - but if it 'Ten' - i could still vote once :lol:

best not to get too serious

as i've got no votes (yet?) maybe i'll start to cry :lol:

I still think it sould be just three votes.
Gold, silver & bronze.
It's just that some comps have so many good entries that three votes just arn't enough.

Hi Kort,
you are in my position last month...
I just have to conclude that I am totaly @!**$@ at Streetshooting... :lol: I too think it is fun...but slightly serious...just not too serious? It is hard to know where to draw the line, I agree.

Yes, I think 10 votes is too much, as I like to decide. 1 vote would be a bit too hard, as to decide takes time. Normally I vote for 3 photos.
As for the decisions, often I am wondering why one photo gets so much votes and another nothing. So it would be interesting to know, why people choosed a picture, which criterions they had.

Hi all, I think a congratulations to Andy (again) what is this win #6 now Andy?
We need a mathematician to advise on the voting system, it needs to be able to separate the low number of entries with our limited contributing membership.
I think the high count of votes helps separate out a winner but gives everyone some kind of score.

Hi Tim, thanks for your congratulations! . But I have no idea how often I have won...not as often as your guessing iws!
On the voting topic, although I voted for 8 (I think) my absolute favourites were panonski, mainiac, olyz, petach and blow-in's entries. If I had been restricted to a single vote, then it probably would have been olyz's amazing Kodak shot. As he ended up a few points behind my other favourites then a single vote would have put him on step closer to gold. But it is not great to get your picture favoured by no one? Grand Prix scoring perhaps? Then we WOULD need your mathematician! :lol:
