Does anybody else have trouble with this while voting?

Is there any way to avoid it?

Do you mean like sharp edges in the image? If that is the problem you have to click on the image once to zoom in and it should look normal.

Goodness me, no. :-)

The Halo Effect is when, because the subject you ary studying has so many positive aspects, you undernote the negative ones. Likewise, the Horns Effect is when you undervalue the positive aspects because there are so many negative ones.

A working example would be that the clarity and framing are both excellent, so you vote high not really caring that the colors are washed out, or perhaps the clarity and distortion are so bad that you ignore the fact that the moment and expression could never be caught again and the framing makes it doubly so.

Is this supposed to be a problem when we vote? I know this applies to my voting, so I thought I should ask.

Oh..I thought Horns like sharp edges :) I guess you vote what you feel the image deserves if you feel it deserves more than other would vote...give it that vote...

i guess it means that you have to ponder the image a little more than you normally would which is no bad thing I guess

Do what I do, then .. Stand across the room and throw a dart

Some folks choose investments this way .. surely, then, I can determine whether somebody lives or dies

LOL .. I employ spotters ..they quickly follow the impact of the point with a smudgy finger print and a gap-toothed grin

It's a wonder I can get anything done, they don't believe me when I say voting is over now, stop poking at my screen

and I haven't seen the true colors of an image for weeks .. all those cheese-doodle smears
