1) To Vote
see http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/standardgallery.php?photocategoryid=9317&showall
click the VOTE button of your choice
please choose carefully, you will not be able to change your vote once its cast
and your vote will be public

2) To see the Vote Totals
-- on second thought, the Vote Talley will be unable until the end of the voting and a winner has been determined.
seeing the tally may have encouraged some not to look at all of the entries.

3) The top voted entries will have ALL of their votes carefully evaluated before a winner is determined.

This doesn´t work right. The picture I voted for doesn´t show up. My vote is indicated for a completely different photo. Can this be fixed?

Oooohhh boy.

What amazes me even more are the votes for images that don't say anything about "the human condition". I maybe haven't grasped the term well.

Same here. Rule clearly states "Street photography showing the human condition."

Street photography may be defined a thousand ways, but at least 3 or 4 of those photos defy any description of street photography. Same goes for human condition.

I would have thought those photos clearly violated the rules and would have been removed from eligibility.

If they're eligible, then why bother having the rules?

The first 7 votes were in error due to voting before I had completed the program. Those 7 who voted will now be able to vote again since I removed the 7 votes in error. I will communicate with them and let them know.

I just write the app, the rules and judging are up to others so don't shoot the messenger :) I had a similar problem on my website with voters disagreeing on subject matter etc ... Let the Head bartender deal with it :D

...Well stated! I would also add that some of the votes went to staged photographs - a violation of the contest rules.

This is the first contest of this type RFF has done in a while, and its been a bumpy learning experience. As far a the content, I am trusting that will be taken care of by the voters.

Voting/staged

Voting/staged

So, are we blocked from voting for ourselves? And to the person who commented, clearly staged, how can you discern this? I spent three hours waiting for just the right child to come into the spot I picked, by them selves, and with just the right motions. Any photography is not always just shooting pictures and hoping.
 
I'm not seeing my vote for bonatto's picture show up in the tally. Does the tally update automatically after every vote or just a few times a day?
 
Have all the ineligible entries been removed or is there still a risk of voting a photograph that may be removed?

I still see at least 1 shot (which I like btw) taken with a D3S SLR. Not that I mind, I don't care what someone uses, but rules are in place.
 
I don't think it's wise to publish the names of the voters in the voting period. Surely this will influence later voters. I thought voting was secret.

I see the tally, but where do I see all of the images entered into the contest? Or can I just vote for the ones in the tally?

It is a misconception that street photography must take place on a street. Street photography features subjects in candid situations in public spaces. Street photography can happen in any of those places listed above, provided it is not staged or posed.
 
I agree with you model337, to some extent, but I don't understand how a bunch of the images have anything to do with "The Human Condition"......
