| Yes I did look at the winning images, and the top 100 and some of the top 100 at least to me are much better then the ones that won that is why I asked the question in the first place. So It is back to every image has the chance to win in time.

Most of the top 100 images with enough qualifying votes have already won awards. Any particular image can only win an award one time.
Two things to consider with regards to your statement. Images that fall below 5.0000 after receiving 15 qualifying votes will be auto deleted. And, at each gate milestone (the level of qualifying votes to win the longer duration awards) images that are mathematically out of the running for additional awards will be automatically archived.
Needless to say, there are many members who self-archive or self-delete their images.
Bottom line: the contest is dynamic and filtered in several ways. This is an advantage to the voters and the artists. More votes will be gathered by the images with higher rankings. That said, any image in the active voting pool has a statistically equal chance of appearing in a voting window.... on a random basis.
I would highly recommend reading the FAQ page.

| Thankyou so much for taking the time to make me understand it better. I did not know that images can be deleted by getting low voting points. Because of that , then it makes more sence to me. I guess if people here would really take the time to judge a photo in every way, such as how common is it, can anybody go out an take a photo like this, beside just the lighting, sharpness, after all any good camera can take great photos these days, but if the shot was a hard to get capture I believe it deserve's a high enough voting point. I don't want to offend anyone just an example here people standing around an easter bunny at the walmart get's a vote of 7 so does the great shot of a wolf or gator for that mater. This is why I did'nt understand the voting points. If more people voted for the easter bunny on any perticular day, then they very well could out win the great shot of a woIf. If people here would really take the time when voting then I can see where this would work.

Sorry, but I need to flag your comments as duplicitous fabrications. No one, and I mean no real person, writes or speaks like you do. Your grammar, spelling errors and punctuation would not pass a "lie detector test". Yes, I'm jumping to conclusions, but a forensic analysis of your "English" is highly indicative of someone trying to conceal their true identity. So, my advice to you is to be yourself, because the persona you are presenting in the forum does not fly under my radar.
Oh, you're not the first, nor the last. But, I'd say you are the most transparent fraud I've seen for a while. Sorry to offend. Your charade is not working! I will boycott any thread in which you participate.

| There are many ways to skin a cat as well as take a good photograph. Yes cameras are capable of amazing things these days but can you honestly say anyone could pick one up and have good results. That picture of your wolf might not be captured very well even though it is a great find. This does not mean it is a great capture. As for your easterbunny in the Walmart parking lot...if done right could capture some of the greatest emotion you have seen in a photo. Seeing how fast your vote count has gone up I highly doubt you have taken your time and thought it out well. Just my opinion but maybe try to slow it down and include all aspects of a photo not just how hard it was to be in position for a photograph. Other than that...Have A Nice Day!
