The other problem is that one low rating could knock some one off the boards. I think you should score a work on the a different system where each entry is squared and totaled for the best ratings. That way an image with two tens would rate lower than an image with 5 tens and one seven. Under the current system, the two tens would rate higher because of the law of averages. I square the numbers to give a higher weight to the high score example: one 10 rating =100 points where as a three would only add 9 points. I also believe a 1 is better than nothing because at least a work was worth commenting on.
