Suggestions for more effective ways of voting are one thing, imposing rules or restrictions on it is quite another. I want the freedom to vote how I wish just like I want to be able to ride my bike down the stree without a helmut if I choose. Just because something is a good idea doesn't mean that a rule has to be made for it.

Riding your bike without a helmet doesn't affect anyone but yourself. Not giving a photo a fair review does affect the photographer looking to learn from their entries.

Edit: Not saying you personally don't give a fair review. :-)

Just thinking out loud here, but an image in a magazine like National Geographic probably gets less than five seconds to stop the reader. Shouldn't part of the challenge be creating an image that is worth pausing for?

EVERYBODY GETS 10 FROM NOW ON, AND A GOOD REVIEW... THAT WILL MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY. EVEN THOSE WITH BAD PHOTOS.

If I am forced to watch 5 secs at a horribly bad pic I will definitely give it a 1 instead of a 2,3 or 4.

If the photo is good I spend more than 5 sec looking at it...why wouldn't you? the whole concept is to be "taken " by the power of it...and a so-so photo doesn't get any better the longer you look at it...anyway I, too go back over my votes at a different time to see if I feel the same before the voting ends.

This post really generated a lot of noise, you all make intelligent and constructive points esspecially those of dearwolf and dtouch1. Everyone should get a TEN, that's what I really meant when I put up this post (because I'm a pathedic photographer).

But sereously, after reading all the posts that were left I agree that it would be excessive to have a manditory limit. The intelligent and thoughtful photographers probably outweigh flippant camera owners on a website such as this.
