You can't please everyone, Jason.

No sweat, it's not a biggie.

I agree its not about winning. For me its about participating. Its a bit of fun, not too serious, a chance to show and compare what you can do with others.
I don't see how the playing field isn't level for everyone?
We all operate under the same rules.
If I could produce my best shot during the month of the challenge, I'll use it and put any others I have in the John Wests. Even if I can't produce my best shot during the month, I'll still try to put my best photo up and the current one will go in the John Wests. No biggie.
I don't see why an "exotic" photo should be voted any higher than a photo of the kitchen sink (if that's on topic)
. If its a good photo and on topic, it deserves the recognition. The only time an "exotic" photo should do any better is if the topic is "exotic".
I freely disclaim any images I post that I haven't taken during the month, so if people want to take that into consideration when they vote they can. I don't do that, I vote on each photo on its merits.
I use the competition as a bit of motivation to get out and try to be creative, but somethimes it just doesn't happen or the results aren't so good. Some topics are very limiting to some people based on geography, so I don't see why they shouldn't have the option of "shots they've prepared earlier".
