Good questions. I was wondering if I could vote zero (because I wonder about strange shit like that) and then wondered, "Where is the button to cast my ballot(s)?" Hope there's no hanging chads on my voting form.
Yes, the top 12 are in.wheatonFJR wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 9:23 am I've got a question on the results...

That is the number of people that have cast any vote for that image.wheatonFJR wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 9:23 am
If so...what does the "Number of Votes" column (next to each entry) represent?
What does Total Votes represent
It's not just the average rating, otherwise an image with a single 5 star rating would outrank an image with 4 star average, but 20 votes cast. The algorithm tries to balance the number of votes with the value of the votes cast. The calculations are done using a Cold War era Soviet spy satellite to ensure the results are accurate. The only things you need to concern yourself with comrade is getting enough votes to keep yourself above the new red line feature on the rankings display.wheatonFJR wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 9:23 am Also, how is the entry score determined? Is it (SUM of the stars voted to an entry) / number of people that voted for the entry? Then you rank those scores top to bottom?
Well since he's in the lead right now, sure. First place does get a free calendar.wheatonFJR wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 9:23 am Also, is it true that the winner gets a free redfish dinner in LA...amongst other prizes?
Most was just luck, I knew at that time the sun was making a hazy Mtn prism effect, most likely from the snow, this was about 1 hr prior to sunset and at 45F at the image loca. Back down in Columbia Falls (motel) it was still 96F.Uncle Hud wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 11:17 amGood questions.

Hey, Top_Speed1, your photo is exquisitely composed: the mountain peaks shadow the bike's windscreen and topbox, and the windscreen angle matches the mountain slope! Did you intend to do that, or did the pumpkin just happen to fail at that particular location?
You just click the highest star that you want to rate the image. I also added a new feature with the display rankings. If the row has red text, that means you haven't voted for that picture yet.
Thanks for esplainin!DesignFlaw06 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 11:23 amYes, the top 12 are in.wheatonFJR wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 9:23 am I've got a question on the results...

It's just too bad the photo is ruined by someone parking an ugly BMW in the way.Uncle Hud wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 11:17 am Hey, Top_Speed1, your photo is exquisitely composed: the mountain peaks shadow the bike's windscreen and topbox, and the windscreen angle matches the mountain slope!

It was truly an epic trip with Beamer Reamer's and their oldest son.wheatonFJR wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 10:44 am I love Auburn's submission! That was truly an epic trip! It was two-up as well!

I noticed that you did not capitalize the word "redfish" so I am happy to assume you wanted to eat the fish and not me. Thanks for that.
I agree. I am not telling anyone what to do but that right there should have been the photo submitted. That's cover material.
I am inclined to believe that our witty friend actually meant that I would cook him dinner. And I would if he ever made the trip down here.Top_Speed1 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 2:23 pmRedfish Kitchen, It's famous, mainly for sushi I believe?Redfish wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 1:18 pmWhat is the name of the restaurant in Los Angeles that serves redfish dinners?wheatonFJR wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 9:23 am

Yep, we DVR food network shows cuz Debbies a food porn queen.
Redfish Grill (in New Orleans) should be the homerun here however, and it's close by somewhat to you.
The only reason I din;t submit it was the lgihting was not too good. I can run it through photoshop and see if I can correct the lighting to get rid of the shawdows. They are welcome to use it if they choose to.Redfish wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2017 5:56 pmI agree. I am not telling anyone what to do but that right there should have been the photo submitted.
