I, too, am NOT really fond of the "community" voting, but I enter when I can, just because I like the challenge, but I have to "Honestly" admit.........that "NO" matter how good I think my entry is.......I won't win, I know that, so it doesn't matter to me. (: I think the votes are very selective between the members of the community and those who are popular will win..............even though I don't think their images are the best of the group. Just my opinion..........but..........for me, actually completing the challenge is a "Win" as I have so little time to do this, that for me........it is....an "Accomplishment". (: genny
