Leroy Dickson is one of the best Nude/Artistic Nude photographer in DPC that that I know of. There are other photographers with extremely good nude photos, but I think Leroy is the most consistent one so far.
Don't let his ribbonless portfolio fool you. Take a look at his work, you'll see good work :)
I love Leroy's work. I think one of the reason's he is ribbon-less has to due with the fact that a lot of people have a problem with nudes if they are not lowkey or subtle. Not me Leroy, bring it on,lol
Leroy is one of the photographers i would love to follow on a shoot.
Seriously though i'm sure if views where taken into account Leroy would be up there at the very top, people have a lot of issues with nudes but it doesn't stop them looking and then looking and then looking again, his stuff is of a very high quality IMO and its a sign of our narrow minded society that he hasn't got any ribbons.
Ok, I have looked into it, read up on it and all that, and in my opinion, albeit not very professional, but still humble enough to not be egotistical, I would have to say...

Your not looking at it realistically; the voting group for challenge entries is a subset of DPChallenge membership / registered users - a small number statistically compared to "society" in general.
Viewers that enjoy a sunset, landscape, or water drop photo are likely to look at it a time or two (probably while the challenge is recent)...those surfing the web for porn or nude photos are more likely to look at it at least longer if not more frequently (and the 'Nude' keyword keeps it in play well after the challenge is over). Different groups of people entirely.
