Can you vote for your own photograph, I have noticed a lot of one vote entrees with a full share of the vote. And I have noticed photographs below them with 3 or 4 votes. It would appear that the ones with 3 or 4 votes did not vote for their own work or at least voted for others as well. Just wondering, regards Markymark.

Well said.

Good discussion is always fun and healthy. That is what we were doing.
I feel I'm having to explain myself by saying that I, too, feel there is always someone that has a better entry than me, prompting me to vote for them. I vote based on my opinion of the best and it so far has not been my shot. I love to look at the best and re-evaluate how I take my shots so I know what to improve.
But, I would not criticize someone for doing so. It is their life and their opinion. Do not place labels when you do not know the circumstances. You can not honestly look at a shot with one vote and immediately know that it was placed by the owner of the shot. Glass houses folks.

Again if just seems weird that in the concrete contest 28 people where tied with one vote. The people with more then one vote was spread out and the people with less then one vote was also distributed equally. You don't see 28 people with 2 votes. The orginial question was can you vote for yourself, excluding you it would appear that a lot of people do.

Hopefully they will learn from the other examples, IF they voted for themselves. It also may have been supportive friends.

The way I look at it, if a person recieves more then a few votes congrants, even if they have less then 1 full vote. I just hope I never recieve just one full vote! Joke.

Wow.....an amazing array of photos have been submitted for the leading lines contest, making it a difficult decision to choose one. Actually glad I didn't enter a photo, I can't compete with these. Great work everyone! 8-)

I'm not an IT person, but here must be an easy way to stop people being able to vote for their own submission?

Maybe that is a question for Admin. Could it be done? But then again I am inclined to agree with St3v3 to, should we? So someone feels their photo is better than everyone elses. Let them vote for it. Maybe if they end up as the only person who voted for themself they will take a close look at the winning photographs and see something in it they can take away from it. Then apply that to the photos they take in the future and it could make them a better photographer.
