Oh, I find nothing to be mystified about, really, Daniel. Have a look,
the process is simple - photos get distributed (as far as I can tell,
purely at random) and fellow PPG'ers are given a chance to vote thumb up
or thumb down. Then, whatever passes certain threshold is reviewed by
some kind of board or whatever and then photos either get accepted or
not. Given the randomness of the first stage of this process, I see
nothing that cannot be explained here. One day you submit a photo and
the bunch of guys looking at it favors photos of this genre, and the
other day it is not the case. So, the same photo can be either through
the peer review stage or not.
I should refrain however from passing a judgment on this process...
Sounds like a charlie-foxtrot to me. They've adopted the worst features
of both systems.
