The following is how everyone should vote here at DPChallenge.

1 - If I don't understand it, your trying to be clever, or it is something ultra cute.
2 - Some cute animals, pictures of cityscapes, mountainscapes, or plain waterscapes.
3 - Reserved for all pictures of feline domestic or for pictures where a person has been selectively desaturated
4 - Reserved all other cute animals not placed in 2, or anthing else cute that didn't get put into 1.
5 - Ok now were getting somewhere, this is the halfway mark. Now I know it is actually less then half way, but we will call it halfway for simplicity sake. Here should be placed any photo that is not cute, is perhaps technically done right. But just does not have that oomph.
6 - Above average. This can be any shot of a cool feline (ie "African Refuge" from Your corner of the world challenge.) or any other shot that makes you stare at it for longer then a min. (waterfalls for example)
7 - Water shots that are cool (not plain), helpful if there is water with some cliffs or mountains, and also there needs to be big big rocks in the water.
8 - Reserved for shots of beautiful women.
9 - Reserved for shots of exceptionally beautiful women.
10 - Reserved for shots that are risque, politically incorrect or of course exceptionally outstandingly beautiful women.

Ok. that sums up how everyone should be voting. No more voting on cute kitty cats, or anything else “cute”

Thanks for your time,

Very good, I'm glad to see that everyone is taking to the voting system. Oh by the way. The shot above with slippy as a women qualifies as the person trying to be "cute" so it would get an instant 1.

Here are some "10"s for you.

and for those that are wondering what kind of animal shots you SHOULD vote high for. here are a couple.

Ok Get out there and start voting!! =)

Careful Ben, I got my arse chewed earlier today for handing out a 4 for the very same reason you have listed under 4!

Hmmmm, yes I can see where people might get offended by this voting system, but in the end. A picture of your cat or you dog is just that. It has sentimental value to that person that person alone. Do you know what I mean....
