Comparing the original size of each image can also help and is recommended. Photos should not only be judged by the chameleon displayed, but also on the quality of the image. Excessive noise, artifacts, and post processing should be penalized.
 
Am I late??

hi brad
how come i cant see the poll results?is it because im in the final?


graeme

Because the winner isn't final until the photos go to the final judgement.... three hand picked judges make a final vote on the top qualifiers. After the second round of votes, the winner is announced.

We can't see who is ahead or behind in the polls so that people can't go with a popular photo, or the 'underdog'.
