What is up with the universe?

So, i was checking out the march potm pics and saw my pic. I had forgot that i entered so i sadly couldn't vote.

I looked at the pics and checked how many votes my pic got and how others did compared to mine. I wasn't very happy.

My pic got 3 votes. I was disappointed because the pic isn't that bad. I am not just sad because i didn't win, i had no change because there were also much better pics that obviously won by a mile.

This is the pic i entered, a close up of a RTCxTSN hybrid.


There are pics like this one, of a p. Its a nice p and all and the focus isn't too bad but it is way to dark. Wouldn't you agree that my pic is atleast slightly better? This pic actually got more votes than mine.

(sorry for stealing the pic) #4

Also this one. #17 in the potm, of some sort of a FH, a nice fish with out a doubt, but the pic has no focus at all. Agreed? And dont you agree that mine is a slightly better pic than this one?

(sorry for stealing the pic) #17



I hate that the contest doesn't only go for the best pic, but the most interesting pic in which many MFKers translate interesting as their "favorite fish" or the "coolest fish" they see in the competition.
For god sakes it is PHOTO of the month not FISH of the month.

I think that when voting in potm you should think much more of the quality of the picture not what is on it.

What do you think about this?

they pick the fish they like. not the pictures that contain quality...

 

[chasingtime]

your pic is head over heals better. thats ridiculous that they didnt choose yours...

kinda hard to tell what yours was and maybe people liked the other pictures better because they liked the fish more

Yes, that is what is so stupid about it, it is PHOTO of the month.

Thank you, glad somebody agrees with me.

your pic is way better than those other two IMO. however, there are a lot of youngsters on this site and ive noticed a lot of youngsters are like "woah its a P, how cool is the bloodthirsty killer".
as for the pretty and very pink/red FH, again the colours win this when it comes to the younger voters.

your pic has great focus and you did a good job getting such detail so close up but most people (usually youngsters) dont appreciate that, only the blood thirsty killer and pretty the colours.
this is however just my take on it and i could be way off.

YES, THERE IT COMES, IT IS A C O N T E S T!
That is why the better ones should do better than the worse.

It lacks emotion. With POTM, it may not be the quality of the pic that matters (although it does help), but the content. you're photo is a great photo, just not POTM material.
