I would recommend viewing them all. Seems most voters went for the lower numbers?

I went through all of them and chose 2 9 10 21 41.
But maybe, the next time this should be done in more than one voting.
Maybe, we can add a few more photos to the final round and put them in opposite order.

Maybe this whole photo thing is totally out of proportion.

Yes it may be slightly "out of proportion", but it's still a valid category. And a popular one.

Well, it's obviously valid this year. But that's the only fact. How do you know that other suggestions, like merging it into a best post or best media category would be less popular?

I don't, and if I understood webwit right there will be quite a few changes for DTA 6.

Yup, that's all my post was about. Either way there should be regulations or more rounds or whatever, 50+ entries is really hard to handle.
