Hey doc, another strange thing is happening here. I just voted 10 on this image and it is NOT shown in the silly 'dist' !!!! Never mind the idiotic voting rules ... This is a beautiful image.

Now my 10 has been counted. You know what ? They do not count the voluntary voting at all !!!! Only the stupid obligatory votes are accepted ... I will not quit only because of the nice people I met here, Mr Caedes excluded.

Hmm it actually shows up here though! It's a pretty short bar in comparison to the tall 7!

Apparantly someone voted zero for this image too. If they didn't like it that much, why did they even bother to vote for it?

There is a saying, "If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say it at all!!!!!!"

Anyway thanks Marzena for your support! <Hugs!> :-)

The voluntary votes are not counted because of the potential for bias. E.g. if you have a friend who's on Caedes, you're more likely to give them 10's because you like them, whereas for people you don't know, they would probably not get as high votes as your friends. However this isn't much of a case with me, since I am not impartial to voting 10's for people I don't know!

So that's why the voluntary votes aren't counted instead of the random ones.

What a wonderfully blue ocean and sky.

Beautiful shot! The colors are very lovely!

Yes, it has become a very nice view, just disregard negative votings, you have fools everywhere. Thanks again.

Fantastic blue! Grand bleu... The photo has so positive vibes. Life is good after all :)

awesome view and great colors:)
