I don't really have something to add, just wanted to let you know I've read this thread (and previous threads about the Hot20) and I too think it's a problem. The Hot20 doesn't represent the top segment of the artists in our community. Of course there are exceptions: todays Hot20 shows more diversity than it has done in weeks (or maybe even months). If I want to see a selection of interesting, well-constructed, appealing, in short: artistic fractals I'll watch the window weekly and the vintage. But what to do? Sure I vote and have done but only if an image has a high WOW-voltage. Maybe I should lower my standards to medium WOW-voltage? ;-) Yvonne
