Hi Jan,

Sorry to bother you, on the 2004 UPC rankings I am listed as:

14. Winston » 1 winner, 0 running up and 4 nominee

However that should be 1 winner, 1 running up & 3 nominee, the link for the week with the nominee is listed below:

Thanks,

Winston, :)

5 finalists out of 9 entries isnt bad i guess.
also jan, i dunno how to say this but i er... more than slightly polished up several finalists by other people.
maybe we can change the ranking this year, it looks a bit stupid given that one win is worth so much... we should have it on points this year. 1 point for 5th place, 2 points for second place and so on because right now it looks like an olympic medal table where the one gold is ahead of 5 silvers and 6 bronzes.

Looking at my own rank, yes, I can see you point, but I do believe in the idea that winner takes all. But as long as a system produces a just winner, I guess it's fine. A point system would probably shake up thinks in the middle of that list.

I am a person who benefits from this system alot.:D
Considering that I participate so occasionally and that my photos are not comparable to many others, getting 5th/6th is quite unbelievable!

I think your new one is a better system, but won't it make people strive less harder to get a good photo? Since just making into the top 5 will earn them points. I don't know.
Another problem that I see from this is that frequency, instead of quality would take priority, if someone participates in every week, and gets 5th all the time, his points would be better than one who participates occasionally, but wins every time he tires.

My biggest concern is just that every week has different standards, the 5th position in last weeks contest may win the one on the next week, if you get what I mean. Its quite obvious when some of the pics in the semi finals are not as good as those runner up.

for example, this picture is in the semi finals,

I used both jp to not offend anyone:)

JP, congrats. A deserved winnner in my opinion, certainly one of the best photographers of this forum. And we're blessed with a lot of great photographers...! :)

Wahou JP, Bravo, que des belles pics faut dire.
Bravo aussi à tous les participants :)

Well done JP. :)

yeah i know cliff, some of the choices of finalists are bizzare, some great pics dont do as well as they should do and other pics do much better but then since when did the public have good taste! i think it would be cool if we had a league table.

Nice job JP :)

to give an example... i know jan and i are the extreme, but i came second by 1 vote and then second by 2 votes... 3 votes stopped me from being joint 5th. those three votes are the difference between 30th and 5th place. lol!

Congratulations JP!! :applause:

:bow: congrats

Good job JP keep the pics coming !! :D
