I'm really sorry to say but it's really nauseating to go for a voting session just to get dozens of macro photos of insects and flowers and a few more insects again.
I've just joined this site, the idea seemed to be original and interesting, but this macro-photography pest seems to be taking over the whole site.
The horror, the horror..

Sorry you feel that way, personally I've not experienced that problem and have been here for over a year now. I feel that DA offers a wide variety of photos for voting.
Are in the All Category when voting? or are you selecting Categories to vote in? That could explain why so many of the one variety come up for you.

Ditto, Kiwi, to me watch and vote for macro photography is something I look forward to everyday... and when it comes to "macro" photography there are two names that come up in my mind here, Glynn and Deborah for the stunning shots they have taken...
A person who loses god loses everything, and a person who gets god gets everything.

I sometimes feel that way about Blue Herons!
I vote in the All category so get a pretty good variety of everything!
Have fun voting!

| The same could be said about several subjects. DA has a very good variety of just about ALL genres.

| I am not really a lover of insects in the flesh but really do love to see the wonderful close ups of them and agree we have some marvellous examples from Glyn and Deborah and others. There is no reason, however, that macro shots have to be just of either insects or flowers... macro photography can be of any subject. I wonder if we expect macro to be of insects or flowers and don't value other subjects as much?

| Yes. Excellent point Sarah. I often take macro shots of human subjects as well.

I've been trying to pick other categories than "All" and they all come back with "It looks like there are too few images remaining for you to cast a vote in this category."
But seriously, I'm so nauseated by the number of insect macros that it's really hard for me to appreciate the rest as much as they'd deserve.
Would it be possible to filter certain categories our of a voting session? Quite honestly, I really don't appreciate insect macros (and a few other categories, for that matter) so I'd appreciate if I'd not be forced to go through dozens of fly macros when I'm voting.

| Guczo, you will find a variety of images here at DA, some you may not care for, others you may love. That's the joy of photography, everyone has a favorite subject. Some love bugs, some love flowers, some love landscapes... vote accordingly. If you dont like flies, and other creepy crawlies, vote on the clarity, sharpness, colors, lighting, composition, exposure, etc, of the image. Unfortunately you cannot pick the images you want to vote on if you've reached the buffer in the ALL category. We've all voted on the same images you have, or will be voting on those images. Personally, I'm not a fan of flies & spiders, but I voted on many fly and spider images, and although I didnt care for the subject, they were fine examples of good photography, and my vote reflected that! Here's an excellent article to help you: http://www.dailyawards.com/article_viewer.aspx?ArticleID=148 Have fun!
