Newbie question about Top Ranked Photographs

[stefanoleonardi]

I bought a digital camera less than two week ago and joined PN just recently.

I requested critics on three for my pictures and I got some good and some

bad rated. That's ok. But I never saw one of my pictures among the Top Ranked.

even if some of the top pictures had lower scores than mines. For example,

I requested a critique for a picture yesterday (the one with Ice on leaves) in

the Nature category and it had 11 ratings, with a mean Aesthetics: 5.64 and

Originality: 5.55 overall. Among the eleven, 6 raters were anonymous and they

gave an average score of 5.50 for Aesthetics, and 5.17 for Originality.

 

But I could not find my picture in the Top Ranked Photographs and I looked in

all pages setting "All ratings" and used the timeframe of 3 days.

I thought 5 scores would be enough to be listed at least in the last pages.

 

Did I miss something?

 

... and ok ok I agree... I am just looking for some personal "rewards" and see my

picture on the 10th page of the best ranked pictures. I'll get over it... :)

 

Thanks

There are a number of reasons that your image might not have

made it into the Top Rated Photos.

<p>

<ul>

<li>The ratings you were given might not have come through the

rate-recent or rate-category interface.

<li>You might not have had enough ratings to qualify. Each time frame has

an increasing number of ratings required to qualify for the top photos

in that timeframe.

<li>You might have uploaded the image and then waited before submitting

it. The 24 hour (or 3 day or one week) timer starts counting from the

time the image is uploaded, not from the time the image is submitted.</ul>

That's it. I waited too much from the upload to the critique submission.

I found it, the using the week timeframe.

Thank you. I am happy now! :)

I uploaded my image "white rose' on January 28, asked for rating at the same time. This day I've received 6 very high ratings and several the next day. This photo never got to "top rated photos'. Is there something in PN rules which I don't know?
