I thought we were at least at the toddler stage.

This will sound like very harsh criticism to many of us, especially the submitters of the ribbon winning images. But after the emotion has settled, there is some truth to it.

This criticism is directed not so much at the winners as at the voters.

Or maybe we could find a way to educate the voters to be a bit more discriminating in the way they award the high scores. There really hasn't been much of that on this site. I have started to do this in my own way by expanding the variation in my votes, by trying to get away from voting mostly 4 thru 6. I am trying to give higher and lower votes to use my one voice in the wilderness to say what I think is good photography, and what isn't.

Good point, and I'd also like to see more of this.. however, historically, it hasn't worked. The problem is, you can't really *educate* subjectiveness.. although I've seen a few turns of the tides lately that give me hope. hehe. (Like my 17th place finisher in "Family")
