nards656...I would never vote on a pic just by viewing the thumbnail. I think my original intention has been twisted and distorted. I usually do vote on pics in the order presented but when I don't have time to get through a complete challenge, I do sometimes skip shots that might not necessarily be technically bad but that just don't appeal to me as a photographer. |
What's the difference between voting on entries just by viewing the thumbnail and selecting which entries to vote upon by viewing thumbnails? To me both fall under the term "cherry-picking".

So, you are saying you can decide "which photos 'appeal' to you" based on the thumbnail image ... I'm glad we cleared that up. |

Yeah, my photos usually looks prettier when they are thumbnailed. Enlarge it, and it looks pretty soft and noisy. Maybe it's time for a dSLR, I gotta go ask dad for one :p |

I've definitely seen a good looking thumb that had issues at large size, but even more often, I've clicked on a thumb that just doesn't grab your attention at all and it opens to reveal an absolute delight!
great detail, great texture, great lighting, great dof, etc. - a lot of things just can't be seen in that tiny little thumb, IMO.
