If by that you mean is the person the sole, or prime consideration, then no, that is not how I vote. Some of what influences my judgement, in no particular order and not exhaustive are:
- The immediate impact of the photo
- The composition
- The month in which it was captured
- How the photographer has handled any capture difficulties
- If I can remember previous entries, has there been an improvement that makes seeing the particular submission more special
- Was the photo taken under difficult circumstances
- How well has the theme been interpreted
- Has their talent for their age, experience, equipment etc, produced something that has exceeded my expectations.
Cheers
