The voting system doesn't need changing, one man (or woman) one vote. Keep it simple.
Usually the best picture wins. In fact, I can't remember a poor photo winning except a while back when we had a spate of new users all voting for the same photo.
A 3-2-1 system is still open to abuse too. And, I'm not sure if I can be bothered to pick a second and a third photo.
Also, second place holds no prizes. The end result is the same only more effort on behalf of the voter.

Voting mechanics dictates a simple one vote per person, one point per vote for a system like this.
There aren't hundreds of photos and hundreds of votes so increasing the complexity is a waste of time and is more effort.

I'm neutral, as I hardly ever participate in the shootouts, but I usually do vote, so have an opinion and I agree with mlife, Ricky D and ceaser2008 (in the thread of the June competition), that we shouldn't complicate things.
The Esato photo competition is clean, simple fun, the winner doesn't get thousands of $'s, nor a prestigious gold medal, only the joy of winning and being able to pick next month's theme.
Which is why we should keep voting simple aswell, not turn it into rocket sience.

Another option; secret voting.
Sending the vote to me through PM
That way people are not influenced by other members votes.

Truly, votes shouldn't influence anyone.
Just my thought.

I dont find my system is too complex or hard to comprehend.
right now the voting system is also calculating all votes, that means, all winners are also announced..
for example
david- 9 votes
gary- 5 votes
emma- 3 votes
david won because he got 9 votes, but votes for gary and emma also had to be counted, and automatically we know that gary is in the second place and emma is the third..
this means, even the current system also is "complex" according to your definition.

I publish all votes and voters to keep it clear and pure. Everyone can check if I counted correct.

As some of the others have said, let's keep it simple, one person one vote, I know I very rarely enter the photo competitions but I do browse through them and enjoy other members photos, and I do vote on the ones I like.
