Only to throw in 2 cents, and not to cause controversy, I must announce that I absolutely refuse to vote at all, in my version of being fair. Years ago, I painted fantasy landscapes, and have a deep appreciation for the images in the galleries.  Every picture is impressive in its own way, and they're all superb, thoughtful, and a reflection of each artist's vision.  Do you prefer apples or oranges?  They are both good fruits, but should one be forced to choose one democratically at the expense of a minority view?  Like good music, it just doesn't seem right to compare things that exist in their own distinct worlds, and have their own unique (and INCOMPARABLE) value.  I know it's not supposed to work that way, it being a contest as such, but abstention seems right for me, being as odd as I am!

the win of an image contest like this rewards the most popular image, not the best one. i can't see anything wrong about that.
