 Im so nervous! Im dont know when they are counting the votes, cuz i just got a bunch more. Are they picking the top ten people or top 10 pics? Cuz a few of the top ones are by the same person and are really similar. Im nervous!

 Well I browsed the whole gallery yesterday and there are very few 'awesome' pictures, so obviously if you choose at random it's most likely going to be mediocre.

 thanks man. Im not trying to talk smack, but i dont understand how a bus got 700+ votes and an airplane got 100... any thoughts? I think its cuz its wayyyy deep at like page 40.

flag caribooyj Plus (Mar 15, 2010 at 20:27)
 I agree.... same here, don't want to put the bus pic down, but I don't get it: 788 favs, why? Going to be interesting to see how the jury will decide in the end. I think there are a few really good pics in the mix, but yeah, the bus and the two naked girls with a sign? Where's the connection to biking? Anyways... I'm wondering why the finalists aren't being announced.

 How is a BIKE rack on a bus not related to biking but a Follow Me logo (that would not be visable from 20 feet up) on an airplane is? Just leave it alone man! Obviously people like it. And there's a story behind that bike rack too. I send a letter to our mayor a few years ago along with some research asking him to put bike racks on the transit buses, and a few months later they were on. I was in the paper for it and everything. And it's not like Sudbury is a small tight knit city either.. out population is over 160,000. So "Follow Me" in that picture also means follow me in a positive way to make our city a better biking community.

 good job for gettin bike racks. But seriously, where the heck are you from with 160,000 people? Thats a tiny town! Or at least compared to out here. But still, good job. And are you realy gonna try and tell me and empty bus in a parking lot got more eyes that me? Who saw it besides you, the photographer and the bus driver? But yeah, there were only about 2 dozen people who saw mine in that location. And im pretty sure mine relates to biking conidering theres a BIKE in the picture... im done arguing. Peace.
