    Am I missing the point here but shouldn't competitions be won by the best entries or is this the way forward to just harvest votes.

    Well I think its the best Smile its my pix lol.
    Its more a Facebook "who has the most friends" thing, so a bit unfair (I don't use it much so can't really get any support).

    I'm hoping that a few people might help out a cast a vote, she is a great model but needs a wee help to get her going, i'm just trying to help her out.

    Sorry if it sounds like spamming Sad

    To be honest this sort of thing is frowned upon on this site......!

    It may even be breaking a T&C or two.....!!!

    You can't after a certain amount of time. Have to ask the mods to do it.

    I have just had a look too and you have some great images and talent.

    Aww thanks Gary Smile that means a lot


    Quote: you have some great images and talent.

    Could it be inferred that the rest of your images are not great and lack talent?

    Wink

    Yes I did, as an experiment which went pear shaped in the end anyway as I never got into the final selection due to two crap photographers who each posted four pics and got everyone to vote on them, so eight pics by two people dominated the final 20.

    While ever there are voting systems of that kind in competitions you have to consider the "if you can't beat them, join them" approach.

    I don't agree with it, but it's sadly the way of the world.
