Excellent montage, I am always amazed at the ways a simple photo can transform and become a great composition. Great work!

I've also felt the same way as you about voting & posting, but I think things have fallen into place by now and maybe we will be having a better experience. You might also want to try out busy.org, a site similar to steemit.com, with one great difference: you can control how much Voting Power you give with your votes (1-100%); on steemit.com all votes are given at 100% of your VP. The user interface is a bit better too in my opinion.
