So in these multi-choice polls, how are the numbers in the percent column calculated?
 
I vote for 3, Gizmo, little E and Duke :biggrin:
 
I voted Marzena. I like the creative framing of the dewdrop and the detail you can see in it. I also voted Physics girl phd. Really sweet portrait

No idea! I just go by the numbers of votes in each.

At the moment Matthyaouw has 1 vote out of 11 voting people, for 9.09%. Not that hard to find out what is going on, especially if you were mesmerized by numbers displayed by calculator as a teenager :wink:
 
Aside from it being a really nice image, I like the effort matthyaouw put into achieving his shot. Turbo's new best friend is a given. (Plus I love the way he captured shading and skin folds.) And Marzena's is pure genious.
 
me too, I like matthyaouw's spirit. I would’ve vote for him if Gizmo were absent from the contest :biggrin:

Ah...just noticed the very small font at the bottom of the poll showing the number of people who have voted...
