GOOD COMPOSITION

Silhouette of a bird in some sort of wet surroundings doesm't make a great picture

sorry tim, the rateing say differantly; the sort of wet background is this thing called the atlantic ocean.

The Nudity should be worth at least a 6/6. However, I give it a 7/7

ALGO CENTRADA PERO MUY BUENA TOMA , UN SALUDO

Joe, I came to take a look at some of your work after your thread in the forum about the "3/3 guy". And now I understand better why you whine so much about getting some '3' ratings. Sorry to say this, but you don't seem to be able to accept honest feedback, so my conclusion is that you are here for the numbers' competition and not so much interested in learning and improving your photography skills, which is a shame.

I have no problem with the low rating. I have major problems with people who can't show anything except nudes, and then make snotty comments about an honest attempt at something else.

 

Mr. Tim B has nothing in his portfolio except nudes. If you want high ratings shoot, and post nudes. They don't even have to be very good nudes. Just find some girl to get naked for you. Shoot her pic, and post it ASAP. I have not seen very many 3/3 ratings for really Poor Nudes. And there are plenty of them. It's a sure bet that ANY Nude will get at least a 4/4. Most get hnigher marks. It is ridiculous.

 

I rated this image a 7/7 just because the remarks of a photographer with a mediocre portfolio of nothing but nudes pissed me off.

 

So, Joe don't let my 7/7 go to your head, or let low ratings ruin your enthusiasm. Shoot More. Post More, and take your lumps like the rest of us. Shoot a wide variety of images. And Post for ratings, and critiques, ONLY those that you are the proudest of. If you get a few low ratings in an overall moderate to high rating, Disregard the lows ones. The beauty of this website is that you can get imediate feedback from a large group of very good photographers from all over the world. If you think your work is pretty good, post it. The members of photo.net will confirm it, or humble you. Don't take it personally. I will always come to the defense of someone who is trying to get better. There is no excuse for being Mean, especially since All of us could improve. Nobody here is good enough to make mean comments. If you think the image Sucks,...Just rate it low, make a constructive suggestions, or keep you remarks to yourself, and move on.

Joe, take what George is saying, very important response. What viewer(s) are you attempting to give pleasure with your photos? It would probably be wise to exclude the anonymous ratings and only look at the numbers from members. The others are just passive/aggressive types and don't warrent your time. When members rate your photos, go to their pages and look for the similarities in their photos and yours and grow from what you see.
