For my 2 cents...
I have been interested in the Monthly Challenge since Anne-Louise pointed it out to me several years ago. In that time I have not had much success in the comp, although Anne-Louise has had several wins... Prejudiced as I am, I believe they were all deserved wins.
Just a couple of points about some comments posted:
1. If competitors were ruled out of the vote, the comp would be decided by 10 or so people, not a fair or realistic outcome I would think.
2. Rules state that competitors should not vote for themselves, so there should be no conflict of interest anyway.
3. I have no problem how the comp is conducted, but as has been stated before, there were only 2 or 3 entries in the alternative format, again not a fair or realistic outcome.
4. My final observation is that even if you vote for your mate/s, you often have 3 or 4 votes... surely one of those other votes are for a deserving entry?
I like interpreting the theme and taking images, but I can't help admiring and voting for the other talented people who enter the comp, be they friend or stranger if their entry enrich the competition.
