It may just be that Picture A may not be your cup of tea, but it may be someone else's. I recently entered a photography competition. I had a look at the other photographs in my category and though to myself this is going to be a breeze; they are rubbish and mine is brilliant, the public (who are voting for it) will obviously pick mine over the others! ... I didn't even get into the 'highly regarded' bit. Just shows how views totally change from person to person.As for the Gyr Falcon. It is the 3rd best because most of those photos, apart from I think 4, have been uploaded before the 'thumbs up' feature was installed, so are going to have fewer thumbs up.</blockquote>
