thats the reason i stopped doing them....disagreement on what the subject would be, if certain photos fit the subject, people had issues with my photos, i had issues with others photos and other people had issues with other peoples photos
then i looked at a picture that was clearly a great photo(not mine) and see it lose badly to a so-so photo(again not mine) and that keeps alot of people from taking part in this stuff. the votes were jacked up...it was a mess LOL
the voting is what screws it up....if there was no voting i think itd be something i would still take part in.
