		| How many people decide upon a photo's value based upon the thumbnail? Often I have found, especially with pictures that have a solid colour background that the thumbnail looks awful, but the picture itself is breathtaking, and I wonder why the thumbnails look so bad and if people vote based on that because it seems to me that could really hurt a picture. We already know people only take 5 seconds to vote, are 3 of those seconds wasted on the thumbnail alone? |

		I don't think the thumbnails have anything to do with the photograph. I sometimes look at the thumbnails for a new challenge and think, "There is nothing interesting here!" But when I actually vote, the images are entirely different. I now only use the thumbnails to find something after I have viewed and voted at the intended resolution. 
 
 Don't vote based on the thumbnail.

		| After submitting a score, it just goes to the next full-size shot. It doesn't go back to the thumbnail page so I couldn't vote based on thumbnails if I wanted to. I do go back and use thumbnails to bump pictures up once I'm done voting though. |
