A subject to think about - or maybe talk amongst ourselves. No Photo involved

[Mira]

In the last contest, at the time of voting for the finalists, JeffR commented:

quote
"I don't like a contest that ends with two entries getting 50% of the votes,
which is the way this seems to be going. Having said that, I think Another Misty Morning is a wonderfully rich and very deserving winner in this contest, but I'd very much like to see more votes going to the rest of the field, because those photographs are superlative, all of them."

He ended up winning the coveted second place with "Arabesque" his comment involved his own photo being one of the two with about 25% of the votes.

He stated his displeasure, but not a suggestion of how to resolve it.

I'm at a loss to think of a way to get people to support and laud ALL of the photos rather than get behind of what might turn out to be front runners.
Many magnificent pieces of work get thrown under the bus and ignored.
Rarely do we have a real race to the top between more than two or three, and when we do it is extremely exciting.

Now my question is, does anyone know of anything we can do to make it more equitable, or is it just one of those things in life we may not like, but can't change?
