I think If I fix it people will see that I care to put the effort in and they will give me a vote for that reason. |

Votes are nice - they make you feel like you created something that someone is enjoying - but I don't get all worked up about them. I mean, sometimes my stuff plain old sucks no matter how much time I put into it, and NOT getting votes makes me go back and figure out why on my own. It forces you to look at your work the way others see it, which alone will help you to improve.
Who hasn't gotten 1 vote for a 15-hour chop, or even more perplexing, a bunch of votes for a quickie chop and then stood there scratching their head? The votes aren't about the amount of work you put in but the results you get.
I second above, primarly I'm here to learn, which I have done since I joined a few months ago, Yeah, votes are nice but I'm learning not to take them seriously, because the work I think is great and worked long hours to complete, I get very few votes, yet work that I put together in a very short time gets more votes. I do like getting advice and comments, I don't always have time to correct that particular image but do take it on board for futures ones. I'm a ps addict and anything that helps improve my skills can only be a good thing.
Lastly I'll add that I think this site is really great and very inspiring with all the work thats put up..

I don't like to edit my chops ,but i do listen to what the critics have to say about it and try to use the advice at a later time if i can rember what it was that is 
Votes are nice ,the challenge of the chop is what i like,and the comments ,even if they are bad.Thats all i have to say on the subject ,i have painting to do.

I have another question...
How important is lottery pot to you, seeing how you enter all the time?
a vote is like manna... some comments are like that too. Go back and look at my portfolio and give me some humorous comments - I love that even if it is long over.

Fixing a mistake that someone has pointed out and in the process learning a thing or two, is much more gratifying to me than getting votes. *!*

Normally, I even do not save the psd-files of my entries, so I am not really able to correct the mistakes in my chopping. But I remember the feedback for the future and try to make it better next time.

I've kept every PSD, source, and outside source (used and unused).
My Photoshopcontest folder now is at 18GB 
I must be mental

Make sure you burn it too DVD's and stash them away for safe keeping.

haha, your not the only one who's mental. I keep all my files as well, sometimes on one image I may have several ps files.  Why I keep them is that I think one day they may come in useful, although I draw the line at making DVD's, I want to keep at least a small amount of sanity......

I'll edit my image if I agree with someone's crit. I don't always agree with them so I don't update. I appreciate any comments or suggestions. It helps me improve in the long run. I would hope that if anyone ever wants to brutally tear my entry apart that they'd send a PM instead of a comment =)

You left out one other choice. What if someone you voted for did change their entry and you don't care for the change, it's not what you voted on. Then what? You can't take back your vote, and it looks like you voted for maybe a crappy job. (And yes, I have seen changes made to some entries that were better left alone.) I say, if the entry is changed, all votes get erased. If the people still like the change, they can always vote for it again. Sounds fair to me.
