Wouldn't it be fairer and quite simple to reverse the process and get us to vote on the those which have been submitted longest?

Thank you for looking

Probably the order is least votes first. This DOES result in the newest shown first but as soon as they get some votes you'll be shown some older. In this way all images in the pool have about the same number of votes, which make it easier for the system to select good or bad images at any time.

When you were presented the oldest first than a good image would not receive any votes for long time...

It makes sense and this approach is good when the number of voters is low compared to the number of images submitted.
