I agree I am really enjoying this site, and the feedback. There are some who intentionally vote lowest possible and don't provide feedback when requested to drop your ratings, but thats going to happen anywhere. I just take those with a grain of salt now as it didn't take me long to register as to who those are. Even with an unknown its not hard to work out who it was, based on their weight.
Anyway back to my point, I agree with keeping monetary prizes out of it, you are going to get a lot of traffic -- yet a lot of really crap images in the process. I have been linking some of my more serious photographer friends in hopes to bump up traffic, but I am hoping that even in future times when the site is busier that we don't have to deal with wasted time getting absolute crap deleted, by bringing in photographers and not idiots with nice cameras

Are you a photographer or an idiot with a great camera?

I also agree with Chris …
When money is involved quality and the sincerity of the feedback will surely suffer. For me personally, this site had been a great opportunity to get a very good (and most importantly honest) feedback. As an amateur to photography, I can learn a lot from sincere comments.
So I think it is better if do not take money into picture.

| I agree with all of you that think the site generates enough awards, as is. It is a great site with some very talented photographers... accross the board. A site gets cheesey when you start giving away too much and money should not be the incentive here either. The person quoting the film made an great point and welcome aboard by the way, there is much to learn here and coming away with any level of improvement is worth the price of admission.
