I'm pretty sure someone is going and voting down everyone's images. That's a shame.
Yes, that tends to happen in the contests. However, the best images still tend to filter to the top as the highest rated and the community rating only has a partial influence on the final winning image so you shouldn't worry about how many stars any image has. All the images would likely get a higher rating if they were rated directly from the portfolio rather than in this contest.
As far as i know, the best picture never been chosen based on likes or ratings of the other subscribers for any legitimate contests. It should be based on the judgment of judges who have been evaluated and choen by the sponsors.

this Is how it's meant to be.
All very good info. It's cool to see everyones works and different styles.
My thought is to multiply all contest ratings by about 1.3 to get to a somewhat real rating.
Am I the only one who can't see the rating on many portrait shots? It's cut-off at the bottom of my phone screen.
