    yeah, if people were to think that way the voting history would be rather different in this competition.

    Indeed. But though I find it hard, I never quit on trying to educate the voters.

    I beg to differ. I'm not a photographer or anything, but I'm not stupid either. If this is an Automotive Photography comp, the subject, erm, I mean the whole point of the competition is to take pictures of something car related. To say that the appearance/rarity of a car has 0% to do w/ the photograph takes away from the competition.

    I'll probably get a nice long lecture on how photography is about this and that and then stuff about the 'civic rule', but it's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

    Exactly the problem with these competitions.

    Sure it's a good shot, but it goes between pretty overexposed to pretty underexposed. Nevertheless, because of the subject, it will probably win.

    I think the exposure's fine. It's probably a monitor thing.
