I am having trouble 'voting' on the photo contest, im playing around with it now, i am viewing each entry but cant find where the 'click' is to vote on a picture entry? any help is much appreciated, thank you

Voting hasn't technically started yet When the contest closes Brad still has to bring down the number of entries to the top 15-20 or so and then he'll open up a voting poll. It should be obvious when voting starts, you'll see all the photos listed at once with a little tick to click on to vote.

 

[Brad]

We had some great entries this month. Unfortunately, we only have a limited number of slots available for the final vote and some photos did not make it. If anyone would like some private feedback on their entry I'd be happy to talk by pm.

This month we received less than 25 contest entries which is much lower than average. That had a big influence on the low number of final voting slots. We usually have between 15-20, but this month there are only 12.

Comparing the original size of each image can help and is recommended. Photos should not only be judged by the chameleon displayed, but also on composition and image quality.

I am so disappointed that my photo was taken down from the photo contest

It was a great shot of my 4 month old Ambilobe male panther showing some awesome reds & blues for his age. I was hoping to get some votes thrown my way

I believe this is the first time I've entered this contest and Archimedes has some really tough competition! Best of luck to everybody who entered

How can it thank you in advance when Junior Members are not allowed to vote?

Something I was totally unaware of until searching the site after having the same problem as Mohr610
