That doesn't make any sense. Whether you vote mid-month or at the end of the month, it's still a month between voting rounds. Why does there need to be 15 days of 'down time'? Isn't the time waiting for people to take and submit their photos already 'down time'?

Anywho, I'll post up my picture anyway because I'm quite proud of it. I think it's better than all the others but of course I'm biased. Number 7 is also pretty though (happy 4th of August I guess?). Vote for it as a write-in if you want. It's tough having your photography recognized when you live with someone as talented as Miriel. Imagine Monet's wife trying to paint something. So I was stoked to enter this competition because I felt my photo was good. Then I was sad to find the deadline was a couple days ago.
