Cheers, I rarely submit into competitions. Just doing it for fun. Your Dragons of Ara was very beautifully captured and processed too!

Anyhow, irrespective of our pix, I am hoping that the final decisions for the 24th Oct aren't based on the public anonymous votes as per the OP's link. What I was trying to convey in my post was that, that type of voting is technically flawed. It is based on Web browser cookies to indicate that you have already voted, and you can't vote again.

However it is easily bypassed by visiting that site in Icognito mode, or using Firefox Focus, or Ghostery Dawn Ghost mode browsers - which would still allow you to vote over and over and over again which will artificially inflate the voting figures.

So some bright spark could write a script that'll visit that site without browser cookies and lodge his/her vote in a continuous loop, which would botch the voting figures.
