Yes you do get some technically  poor shots with with several votes but often these are for the rareness of the bird and not the quality of the shot. At the end of the day the shot of the week is always won by a good quality shot IMO. It looks like the 'most popular shots' and the shot of the week are calculated by the number of a anonymous ticks and the number of actual comments is irrelevant.The only thing that peeves me a little is when someone post six mediocre shots of the same bird in the same location with just a slightly different pose, but at the end of the day I can live with it by simple skipping through them.p.s. I would like to see something like the thumbs up box on BF but that is another matter.</blockquote>
