Congrats Steven (shatch)!
Sean,
Are you thinking of adopting this process? Regardless of this outcome I really really really like this voting process.
Not any disrespect to the current process nor am I talking about anyone specific or even myself but I cant help to think how limiting it is to have a crowd favorite or a crowd Top Ten favorite not make the cut into a voting round... when in fact it can be celebrated with this method of voting.
My thoughts, fwiw: for the challenges themselves, what about 2 choices per person? That means you can pick your first and second but it will still keep the results from getting so diffuse that there's never a winner. Possible?
I liked/would have liked to have been able to vote for more than one or as someone perhaps mentioned, able to pick two or three in an order of favorites. Ocassionaly one really stands out, thats true..but so often more than one stands out~

No, sorry it is either only one choice or as many as you see fit. No options are available for anything in-between.
I think this test proved that it doesn't get too diffuse to arrive at a first place.
congrats to everyone and to the top 5 I was very lucky to come in 5th thank you all for the votes. In honor of the new challenge I will drink my position Now i think this was a great idea rofl
My only wish for these poll thingies.... If the poll could have a check mark beside the ones I voted for, since I always forget!
Too many favorites! Gorgeous collection of photos!

If you look closely you will see your choices in italics vs. plain text for the titles. Not a check mark but at least it shows the ones you picked

There is always a possibility that we might adopt this format or something similar. I want to hear feedback from more of you before anything changes.

Interestingly, my tastes apparently differ significantly from most of the respondents. My absolute, hands-down, top favorite did not make the top 5.
Too many favorites! Gorgeous collection of photos!

COOL! I am so happy to know that!
