I have submitted more than just those 53. 2 of my images were rejected the first time and now made it in and 3 of the 53 so far have made it in.
My take on the peer voting is that I am just trying to weed it down for the final judges - not make the final judgement. Kind of like a Grand Jury - just indicating whether it is worth having a trial or not. The final jury is the judges - with a yes/no in the gallery. As such, I will vote yes probably more than I would if I were the final judge. -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, July 9, 2008, 12:14:42 PM, you wrote: JD> Must be 1 in 10 if you had submitted all 53.
