I think it would be fun if each challenge had an honorable mention section for the 3 photos with the most votes, the most views, and the most comments. Like they do in a yearbook. (sometimes a photo might win all three categories) These are obviously attention grabbing photos that cause people to react whether for good or bad and that should be worth something.

Anybody else like to see this?

I don't know about vote count...it would encourage people to vote out of order, but it would be cool to be able to find which shot had the most comments...probably means it's an interesting shot.

So the shot that gets 80 comments along the lines of.. "I don't see how this fits the challenge" or "WWYT" ... would get an honorable mention?

He's right, a brown ribbon shot could easily pick up the most comments or something.

I sort of think that's the point; we already know which images are most "pleasing" to the voters. Pixie is looking for which ones draw the most attention, be it negative or positive. Certainly a LOT of people take VERY nice pictures that exact a LOT of comment and views but do not ribbon.

Right bear, I didn't mean to give it a ribbon, just a tally. We would all realize if it sucked or didn't meet the challenge and I think this would be interesting to see. Maybe "honerable" wasn't the word to use. Just a tally.

P.S. I'm not sure what someone meant by saying a vote count might encourage voting out of order? Can you explain this?
