My concern was simply that interest wanes.  By the time we got to #5 in this
round, very few comments were being entered anymore.  Perhaps a portion of
this concern is simply my guilt over having received so many comments.
However, I did help keep the ball rolling, since I could probably comment
endlessly on just about anything I do.  ;-)  Even so, had I come in 10th, I
doubt that many would still be around to comment at that point.  By taking
the 6 "winners", and putting them out there as soon as the results are
announced, anyone could feel free to comment on any of them.

I don't believe that all of the comments need to appear on Day 1. A person
could still enter one comment per day if they wanted, but they could do that
in any order they wanted.  I believe that shortly after the results are
announced everyone feels the most enthused about the competition, and those
images with lower scores would probaby be able to get more response.  I
understand the purpose of slowing things down.  I just wonder if it's being
slowed down at the expense of the artist receiving valuable criticism and/or
praise.
