Also, while I completely agree that people do get votes from their friends as I've already stated, I'm sure that they also get legitimate votes from people who simply feel that their photo best captured the subject of the POTM.
I purposefully try to make some of the monthly subjects very open to interpretation which is why sometimes we get a huge array of photo subjects. This is done on purpose in an attempt to be inclusive. As a result, you'll get lots of photos that you may feel doesn't capture the subject, but you will also get lots of people who will feel that it does. For example, last month's subject, "New & Noteworthy." Well, that can mean just about anything! It could have been a picture of an MP40 powerhead. No livestock at all! That's perfectly fine because the subject is meant to be open ended and completely open to your interpretation, whatever that might be.
