An interesting issue brings itself forward when the voting is so open like this. There have been quite a few photos shown on this list (including a few of mine) where some of the members can't see the deeper shadows - essentially a hardware problem - could be calibration or just problem monitors. So when a photo is voted on, not only are you at the mercy of the voters, but if their monitors don't/can't show the subtle details, your image could get panned. A fairly recent one of mine shown here did just that. http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/ptreyes_0137a.htm Based on the list response, I thought this one would make it. There were some responders on the list here who could not see the foreground details and thought there was too much black in the foreground.
What I am getting at, is that the odds of a subtle image making it through now is even harder because of variance of equipment being used to view the photos for judging.
