Re the comment how few members do vote.BF has an extremely large membership,lots of entries for the monthly comps,but the no of people who vote is paltry considering the no of members of the Forum.This is quite sad,considering the effort which goes into setting up the comp and the high no of entrants,and the quality of the photos which are submitted.

There is more of an excuse on birdforum, as a good proportion of the members on there have no interest in photography... we'd hope WPF would be rather different, but I suspect we have had a good few join who were just curious.

Andy,I would never disagree with you!!!,but there are a magnitude of photographers on BF.The Gallery is full of pics every day.But how many of these people do vote.But yes,I see your point.There are masses of postings on the threads,but all are not into photography.I think that when WDP expands more people will be involved.After all this is a forum dedicated to photography as such.

Agreed, it's early days yet let's see how it develops. What does strike me is that there are a lot of entries for the number of members, imagine the same thing when the membership climbs, we could end up having to judge from hundreds of photos, perhaps another way or judging is required!
Food for thought perhaps but what about instead of entering photos directly the moderators could look at the months postings into the gallery and pick out the 10 with the most comments for instance and enter them into the competition, and we would judge from those, I am only saying this because I thought there where too many to judge from now all of them great, making it very difficult.

I think there is some merit in this suggestion. The same though had gone through my mind for the BF comp.

Of course this is an open subject competition - I think future ones may be themed. That may make choosing a winner slightly easier.
