Sometimes I have seen when using facebook plugins the numbers being inaccurate. For example, one comment box reported over 1,000,000 counted, when only 5 displayed. So likely you saw the same thing.

So I recommend leaving a comment on the page. I wil lsee what I can do in the short term - but eventually the whole voting system will change anyway and I can take this into account. What is your photo page? Please give a link. Thanks Sandip – the voting is at the top of the page in the Facebook App. People may be more familiar with the [like] concept in Facebook.

Each Judge may be looking for particular criteria based on personal experience. In general though there are a few things that a submission must meet : 1. Is it related to the Theme. 2. Is the Photographer an amateur or professional 3. Technical quality 4. And Creative quality I also recommend looking at this post http://www.thirstyphoto.com/blog/?p=1337 Cheers, Hi Liya,

Is there a rigid/ structured criteria for judging a great picture?
