by that definition then virtually everyone here is popular, except for Steve. And Steve has won lots of POTM so there, it's not a popularity contest at all, see :-)

Also, while I completely agree that people do get votes from their friends as I've already stated, I'm sure that they also get legitimate votes from people who simply feel that their photo best captured the subject of the POTM.

I purposefully try to make some of the monthly subjects very open to interpretation which is why sometimes we get a huge array of photo subjects. This is done on purpose in an attempt to be inclusive. As a result, you'll get lots of photos that you may feel doesn't capture the subject, but you will also get lots of people who will feel that it does. For example, last month's subject, "New & Noteworthy." Well, that can mean just about anything! It could have been a picture of an MP40 powerhead. No livestock at all! That's perfectly fine because the subject is meant to be open ended and completely open to your interpretation, whatever that might be.

Hows those LEDs treating your tank Kien? Are you getting the pop or is everything (kind of) invisible?

Yeah, that's wrong. I won for last month and nobody likes me. Sure there were almost no pictures entered but I like to think I just intimidated the competition away.

On topic: I've got some little boyfriends for my Allardi next week so we'll see if there's any love there before I enter one.

That is a question that I unfortunately can not answer.
