RNKarenER.. while you do work hard you should feel "Disgust and shame" for the fact that 6 of your images are in the top 20 Sure you have good images. Most artists only get 1 image in the top 20 YOU have 6. That right there gives the idea that you have "salted" the votes. If you are not manipulating votes then you should ask your buddies to please not vote for your image but let the poser community truly vote for you.
