 This "conspiracy theory" came to mind because of the recent forums claiming that the "popular kids" were always winning.

It took me a long time on this site to recognize certain photographers. Even when I'm pretty sure I do recognize someone, I don't believe it influences my vote.

My theory is straightforward: The people who consistently win regularly appeal to the largest number of voters here. Whining about the winners in the forums is not a choice I have much respect for.

Beautifully shot, very sharp and clear - makes a mundane shot interesting. I wondered if this would come up in the challenge...

Your title is longer than your image! Weird. Good idea, but I wonder if you couldn't have gotten the title message across in the image somehow, perhaps with something on the screens like "auto-troll-voting-system". 7.

I think if a title is that long and needs to explain the photo, then the photo doesnt really fit the challenge well enough.

Is this D&L’s office with all the faux “registered” users? Hehehehe I like it.

Not that amazing of a photo (meaning you see this in all colleges & schools) but the angle you shot it at, the clarity, colors and title push it into a great photo in my opinion. 9.

That's not a conspiracy, it's paranoia! But if everyone keeps talking about it, maybe the idea will catch on! Nice comp and color, BTW.

Thats a heckofa title. What do they use the beanie babies for? :)

I'm not really sure I like the angle on this, it seems a little extreme.

good stuff, like the red color, the framing and the tilted angle. I guess your title reflects a universal fear on this site - very well thought out!

9 from PS: what's with the stuffed animals? Do they signify specific DPC "VIPs"? ;-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/17/2005 09:17:54 PM
For me, if one of those screens had the DPC website up it would be more effective. I like the angle you chose.
