Thanks for the info, Ron. I did not know the schedule. Now I do.

Actually, I thought the saying, "The sun never sets on the British Empire." had strict meaning. Evidently, the UK wishes to save some daylight. Nothing wrong with that!

There are currently seven images rated higher than the image you mention. Four of those post are raw vote qualified for the Category Award.

[color="navy"]An image titled "crystal clear" has the follow averages...

Rating: 7.3333
Signature Rating: 7.5026

Today's standard architecture category winner has the rating of 7.3450.

Today's Signature architecture category winner has the rating of 7.7413.

So, the image "crystal clear" is close to winning, but other images exceeded its rating today. It's a very good image, btw[/color].

I have another question, and Im not sure where to ask it, I have a photo in the Architecture category. Its currently and has been for a couple days at a 7.5-7.6 in signature votes. The current signature daily award for that category is 7.4... just wondering why mine didnt get posted. Any info would be great. I emailed the admin about this but I know he is super busy so if Im not thinking correctly I would love to know why. This image (titled crystal clear image # 115605 if it helps) has 32 votes and passed every gate. Thanks for any advice!
