<p >David, thank you for your critiques! Its really helpful, and Leo your rating makes sense and it helps me understand how to photo community works, I`m not practically concern about getting “high” rates and please don`t misunderstand me, but it seems like everyone has their own rating systems which as David points out create some confusion in PN.</p>

<p >I appreciate everyone contribute, and I agree with most of the things that have been said, when it comes to harsh critique I`ll usually take in personally but not In a negative way, but more as a challenge I have to face in order to improve, and I also believe that ratings are a part of that challenge. I wanted to know why people will rate pictures anonymously and I learn more or less how things work in PN. </p>

<p >Something has been bothering me since i subscribed to this site, compared to most of the people here I`m new to photography I have only doing this since 2005 and I don`t have as much experience. So the reason I subscribed to this site is to get some feedback in my pictures, (lighting, cropping, color etc.) but every time I seem to post a picture for critique there are some anonymous persons who rate them under average, and I want to know why? They should at least leave a comment explaining why its bad, or what needs change and etc. if you have the time to look and rate an image you should have time to actually comment it. I know that there are a lot of other photographers here that share my point of view, so what I really want to is try to get more people to notice or to think before the rate an image, cause we all want to improve and I don`t think we will be able to without any constructive critiques from other! </p>
