Do pardon my ignorance, but how is it possible an image from 2005 to be choosen for the HoF of march 2010?...

I asked Glen. He said as long as it has over FOUR ratings, and has been uploaded over 60 days ago it qualifies. Personally I think the above criteria means almost ANY random picture could be HoF!

As in some older years HoF folders, we have pictures dating back many years previously. On the discussion board here, many people have queried that.

In my humble opinion, those rules which permit any 10 years old picture to be choosen randomly, as long it has gotten 4 ratings, are not very interesting. Would not it be better, all simply, that the software selects the image which got the highest weighted rating during the previous closed month, instead?

Fred, this has been discussed; eg. http://contaxg.com/document.php?id=30550 and also within; http://contaxg.com/document.php?id=7862 But congratulations on the HoF Michael! :) Taking nothing away from your shot mate, it's a great capture! we're just debating the HoF in general!

Thanks Ibraar for the links: interesting things there, we see that the problem, or at least the controversy, is not new... ;)
