I can understand your feelings. This round's results do leave a bad taste.
I don't want to point fingers or start flame wars, but to my admittedly
untrained eye (and judging by the comments, others eyes as well...) there
appeared to be a group of images in this round that were roundly slammed by
someone(s). Unfortunate, but one aspect of the voting system used in the
IRTC is that to someone who doesn't give a damn about fair, or the rules*,
it can be easy to sabotage.

>Talking seriously, I'm considering not to enter anymore.

But I would hate to see you drop out.  Your entries and input are always
good (and El Ojo is a personal favorite!) and that is exactly what is
needed. Dropping out because of a bad round just means that the competition
becomes nothing more than a shoving match for immature egos.

Errant as this rounds results were, I do not think this is the case in every
round. Most rounds I think the voting is fair, and the artists are
participating for the knowledge & experience.  Do not take that away from
yourself and others because of the behavior of a small minority.

Happy birthday, this last round was my POV birthday... my 1st POV image was
1 year ago.

And I'll look forward to this one too.

I do hope your considering is still in flux...
