How do you choose your Ride of the Month favourite?

[UKTJ]

I rarely pick the picture that ends up as ROTM winner, this got me wondering how people go about picking a picture (or pictures) to vote for.

Personally I think most entries tend to be 'location of the month with a TJ in them' shots, which is of course fine as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, I usually like to try and pick something where the TJ is more central to the picture. I also try to only vote for a picture once, so even if I vote for it one month if it is re-entered the next month I will pick another. Finally, I try to avoid voting for a picture of a location used by somebody else that has already won previously, but given I don't tend to vote for pure landscape shots that isn't usually such an issue when I choose.

So how does everyone else pick their monthly favourite?

Last time I tried it wouldn't let me vote so I have not bothered since.

I've only ever voted for myself. Hasn't panned out.

I vote for the picture I like the best.

I hit like as many times as I can every time I'm in the thread.

Edit: I like to spread the love around.

I avoid voting for past winners, then I like action shots i.e. people actually using their jeeps.

I have a hard time NOT voting for virtually any picture. Pretty useless, I know. I do try for composition, but its pretty hard to screw that up with most shots posted here - as long as they're in "landscape" mode, that is. A picture that is NOT an iconic shot will *always* get my vote!

I vote for something....different...... not desert and not articulated. Full disclosure: I live in the Midwest and am inarticulate.
Also with good scenery and good composition.

Setting and uniqueness of Jeep.

 

[WHBNM]

I "like" based on the whole photo. Ansel Adams I am not but appreciate the whole composition, lighting and role the tj plays in it. For me the jeep needs to be well lit in focus and the primary object. Setup is mostly irrelevant to me.

 

[TheBoogieman]

I wait until the last day of voting, then vote for the pic with the most likes. I pick the winner every time!

 

[Viking Jeeper]

Its not about the Jeep but about the scenery. Cant remember who it was but a member from FL had noticed all the winners were from mountainous regions and asked for my vote. I voted for him but then somehow his entry was deleted. I asked him about it and he did not know what happened.

 

[DEValken]

I vote for East Coast jeeps. All those beautiful western mountain photos should be thrown out. Just saying.

I'll probably be called sexist, or racist, or coastist or something, but whatever. Haters gonna hate.

Post a pic of you posing with your Jeep, wearing this shirt and I'll vote for you.

Your a sexist, racist east coast lefty that wears a gold chain so you know where to stop shaving

The ROTM contest has changed a bit as it used to be the most “likes” won but now there is a vote off the last few days so I just “like” what I see not
who posted or where there are from

 

[crackedcornish]

I like all of them.. so that I don't play favorites, I don't vote for anybody

 

[Zorba]

I tend towards the opposite - I like all of them too, so I vote for everybody!

 

[williambmac]

The contest is rigged anyway. If you are from the east coast your vote automatically gets deleted.

@Chris uses Dominion voting software for the contest.

There is a contest???
