Hm, i wonder how good of a decision it was to put a good image first.
That would induce bias.

Unfortunately I think 14 was far too large of a sample size for finals. (wasn't it supposed to be 9? Ties from the brackets don't seem to have been done properly.) I personally don't think all of the screenshots of are of similar quality. Smaller sample size would have reduced any possible position bias.

(In no way am I implying if Izacks does not deserve the votes it got, btw.)

I didn't voted for him, but honestly, Izack's pic is good and fits the theme very well (Neptune is such a remote place, and the idea of a big ship being dwarfed by the zoom out is excellent).

Yea, I don't understand the logic behind involving the losers of each group in with the competition.

Yeh, didn't quite work out as planned did it? I didn't really plan for ties that well, I'm afraid; by the time I realised that this problem would arise it was too late to change things.

It's just the order that people submitted images. I could have randomised them I suppose.

It was supposed to be World Cup-syle qualifying runs, but again, it didn't really work.

It's been OK, but if ever this gets done again, well, lessons have been learned. :blush: :flowers:

Anyway, here I am moaning and we haven't finished yet...

Feel free to use mine, although it didnt make it to the Final group. "Leaving Home" was the name.

Congrats all who made it.
