11. I love Memorial Day for a couple of reasons.

One, it's such a great photo that captures the mood and expressions so well and I love water in black and white. It just looks wetter. But the boy who took his shirt off to get in the fountain tugs at my heart, too. I'm proud of him.

20. Who and/or how are these sorted?

Two, three, or four excellent shots in one thread, only one of which can be voted on, and a whole collection of amateur snapshots on the next.

22. oh lighten up...

we are a congenial group of picture takers-- some really good!!, some trying to be good and some just having fun; but all respecting each other for what we bring

the photos are randomly grouped and this contest is for fun and if you would like to come over to the Photography Group and offer suggestions, ideas and critique, we are always open and welcoming!!

31. The winner has to host the next contest. There is no incentive to win unless you

want to control the theme of the next contest.

32. It's not a big deal, the smiley I used was not indicative of anger so much as

simple frustration. It was just that it seems to be a regular occurrence in these contests, which I thoroughly enjoy, that one or two of the treads have multiple exceptional pics, while another thread is meh.


Thanks for the info.

[alfredo]

33. It's just the luck of the draw. I've seen excellent photos languish in the prelims.

[Mira]

34. Are you a connoisseur of photographic excellence,

or do you just know what you like?
It's all a matter of taste, isn't it? We who enter the photos are oftentimes utterly astonished at the photos that win vs. the ones that get left in the dust. I know I am.

Come to the photo forum, bring some of yours, and teach us about what you like and why.

39. Each host does it differently.

Sometimes the photos are listed in the order they are submitted. Sometimes a host uses a random number generator to decide the order.

This time I assigned numbers 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3... To the submissions and placed the photos in the corresponding threads. The order in each thread was random.

I have never noticed an attempt by any host to "stack the deck."

Hope that answers your question.
