Just a miserable 1:2 ratio of votes:entries in this challenge so far (most challenges get 1.5:1 or so).

Seems a pity that more people haven't bothered to look at a well above average set of shots.....

....not that I'm pointing a finger at YOU.

over 500 entries seems a bit too much - who has the time or patience

I started voting a little at a time instead of all of them at one setting. It's easier. If you have time to sit on her and type in forums you have to vote....if you choose to vote :)

Got this:

You have rated 513 of 514 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 25 images (5%) in this challenge.

I actually voted on 518 images, and then returned and re-voted (all bump-ups) on at least 50...

I think that at least all of the participants in the challenge should try and do it NOW.

Of course, if you're just going to arbitrarily spread 4s and 5s, don't! Stay put.

Can't point it at me. I've voted on 100% minus 1, with 12% comments. But yes, the clock is ticking and I still need to get bumped up to beyond 5.8 ;). So come out to ballot people but only if you're gonna be nice! :p

I voted on all the images too. I was hoping for a better voter turn out also. Put a lot of time and thought in to my entry.

OK Fine!! Happy now? :-P
Stats: You have rated 513 of 514 images (100%) in this challenge.

Thanks for the push, only had about 10 more to go anyways, so now that's something I can check off my list. :-)

You cannot cast votes in this challenge, only comments are allowed. *sigh* in time this will no longer be.

...and you didn't even enter (I assume). Santa's VERY pleased with you, James.

Not everyone who enters votes and some who don't enter do vote. It'll probably top out around 300 votes average. 60% turnout. That's better than an election in some parts.

I think that your higher ratio reflects your higher score - if I remember correctly from the scores thread. I think some voters cherry-pick thumbs. This is called 'Jack Hornering'.

I wish my score was high. I really thought it would be above a 7.

Voters, I told you to stay put! Or, no more 4s and 5s for me, I've got plenty of these apparently.

From now on, if anyone wants to score something with 5 or less, press the >> button please.

SC: this is not really trying to influence voting, right? No ToS violation here!
