Hello ... I've entered my second Entry Level photo comp here and hope someone can explain how the voting results/status works.
For example ... an image will state 5 votes from 2 voters then Top five votes --- followed by 5 numbers ... what does that mean?
Thank you.

Hi Donna. Based on the example provided, it means that the photo in question has a total of 5 'points' (the sum of the scores allocated by those voting, for example a '3' and a '2'), and this was the result of votes by 2 people. For comparison, the five highest scoring shots so far are shown for any entrant in the same level you have entered. In this case, the entry with the highest vote 'points' in Entry Level has whatever the first number is, then the second highest entry points and so on. Does that clarify?
