IMO there's not much to criticize.

Hmm, I forgot to make the links and tables borderless.  I'll make a mental note

of it's own, with all the views?

I thought about this.  I foresaw a potential problem with only one picture
displayed:  people who vote for a model who don't know or don't care to click
for the larger picture.

... the thumbs should be a bit bigger? (Following up on the point above)

I ran into a problem with the pictures being too big and causing long page loads
with the first contest I ran so I went to the small size (160 width) to solve
it.  Does anyone have any suggestions for an ideal, not too big yet not too
small, image width?
