Marvin Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Is there just one person out there whose job it is to give a 3 & 3 or are there several people who enjoy this task? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phule Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 If you are basing your self-worth on two numbers, you might want to reconsider posting your images to the internet in the first place. Otherwise, thicken your skin and worry about more important things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_tolley2 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I like it best when I get at least one or two 3/3's. Iﾒve not done my job unless Iﾒve pissed off some fool. Remember that Thomas Kinkade would get mostly 7/7's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen hazelton Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Wade, your shot does have the 7/7's but there are a range of ratings down to the 3's- it's not like you just got good ratings plus a couple of bad ones. Also, I see you didn't get a single 3/3 on it, which is contrary to what many here claim happens on every single shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wade_rose Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 think you better look a gain there is a 3/3 it was the first rating I got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tholte Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Wade, were you wondering why someone gave you the twelve 7/7's or the two 3/3's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tholte Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I would worry more about the 7/7's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsc1 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 can you please elaborate what do you mean by your worried about the 7/7. rate of mr. Wade rose. i visit your latest photos you submit for critique review. i only found one direct comment he gave you 3/3. while mr. rose since last week. he submitted photos that are popular and artistic. from different categories like birds, abstract and digital alteration. and he is getting all the attention. in fact most of his 7/7 are direct vote from known Photographers of this community. please enlight me mr. Holt. regards DSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsc1 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 are you not wondering why. mr. Jim Baker gave you 3/3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yann_r. Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 <p align="justify">In general, direct 7s are often praise and friendship marks then *undeserved* ratings looking at the <A HREF="http://www.photo.net/gallery/photocritique/standards/">photo.net rating system</A>: (I haven't look at Wade's work, I don't judge him)<br> [...]<i>Photos should be rated relative to other photos on photo.net. Excellent/7 does not mean "one of the best photos of all time"; it simply means one of the best photos of its type on photo.net. Your most frequent rating should be a 4, and most of your ratings should be 3 to 5, with progressively fewer being rated 6 and 7 (or 2 and 1).</i>[...]<p align="justify"> To be a good photographer isn't easy, to be a fair rater is even more difficult.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_thalheimer Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Wade, it's possible some don't like that amount of manipulation. But 3 for originality is ridiculous. This is a perfect example of the anonymous rate system being a complete failure. It sucks. The low rates all come from no names, while the decent rates are from those who have their names attached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatley Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Aye Wade, I know I wouldn't have given that particular piece high praise because of the treatment the image recieved. Not that I don't dig manipulation or many of your other pieces - its just that that particular piece was pretty easy to dissect. Remember mate that ratings are often more about establishing a circle of friends, which you have done =) I think you'll find that a lot of us rather than rate an image they don't care for low, they'll either skip the image or say something in a comment tactfully. Enough folks like Mr. Farra to counterbalance the karma =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsc1 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 what are you trying to say mr. Holt and you is been here since 2003. you mean you didn't establish a circle of friends. what a pity, is that the reason why the last 5 photos of mr. holt subitted for critique review no body visit him. come on that particular photo of mr. Wade rose is under digital alteration. even a child can tell its highly manipulated cause that the rules in that particular category. open your eyes all photos in digital alteration is highly manipulated. the case here is still a good photo is a good photo, a bad photo remains a bad photo. be a sport.

dsc1 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 lets take my case and yours. i join PN last may 17, 2006. my no. of visitors is 1338 in my bio-data. while yours is 376 since jan 05, 2006. how about our average photo ratings in terms of Aesthetics and originality. is this about friends and or is this about quality of pictures inside the portfolio?

hatley Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 =) Since I have not reviewed but a handful of images, nor requested photo critiques this year (I did do one today for funsies), there is your reason. I speak from experience - for when I was fresh on photo.net I cultivated and cherished high numbers of reviews and ratings. I found that the same folks who I reviewed wound up reviewing me and in most cases the ratings were relatively commiserate. In other words, if you sling high ratings and comment a bunch, you get them back. If you pump people up, they do the same to you. Thats good stuff, its what photo.net is all about - but keep your eyes open to how it works =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tholte Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Earth to Demosthenes! What are you yapping about? I think Wade's image is great if you like digital alterations. I voiced my opinion that I thought the 7/7's were off target, I still think that. Look at the favorite photos of the people that gave him the 7/7's and you might see what I mean. If you would like to see some images that are digitally alterred and are legitimate 7/7's, let me know and I will email you a long list that you can sink your teeth into.

tholte Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 "are you not wondering why. mr. Jim Baker gave you 3/3?" I don't know who mr. Jim Baker is and if in fact he did give a 3/3 I would thank him! I really don't care about ratings and if you want to improve your photography, you would not care either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
