Pro Photos
In order for a photo to be designated with the "pro" status one of two things must happen:
- A photo must have a rating of or higher than 4 after 25 votes.
- An administrator can promote the photo.
Rating Photos
The Star Rating and Critique system is provided, along with the commenting system, as a way for members to both give and receive constructive criticism, advice on making better photographs, and to voice opinions about the photographs. All members are urged to give both critiques and comments to any and all photographs, but especially those that evoke some kind of emotional response. It is only through this interaction can members give and receive the communication needed for any thriving community.
Below is the accepted definitions of each rating star: (Please keep these definitions in mind when you rate a photo)
1 Star - Generally poor, needs major work.
2 Stars - Technically okay, needs work.
3 Stars - Overall a good image.
4 Stars - Good technicals, exposure, composition. Very nice.
5 Stars - Excellent on all counts. A great photograph.
Photo Awards
Photos that maintain a rating a 4 stars or 5 stars are given a Photo Award. However, you can lose that rating if enough people rate your photo less than a 4 or 5 and the overall average dips below that threshold. A photo award can increase from a 4 star award to a 5 star by receiving higher ratings from other members.
Only registered members can award star ratings to photos submitted, and only when critiquing a photo.
4 Star Award - Maintaining a 4-star average. A Good Photograph Overall
5 Star Award - Excellent! A Great Photograph On All Levels.
Most Viewed - Currently the most viewed photo in the Member Gallery
Most Rated - Currently the photograph with the most ratings
Featured Photo - Chosen by the Admins for inclusion on xc:Home

This one doesn’t work for me because her left shoulder disappears into the wall too much. A good opportunity that went wrong really. First, she should lose the belly ring when she’s shooting, its distracting. I’ve made a personal decision after last years shoot with one of my favorite models that unless she lost the ring we wouldn’t shoot… and we haven’t. The female body is the most incredible creation in this reality and while makeup can bring an allure to the female, body piercings do nothing.
I can see the opportunity a brick wall brings to a scene, but in this case I think the position of the camera is too perpendicular (is that what I mean?) to the wall. That tree running up through her shoulder is distracting as well… and finally, if she’s going to wear a top like that then the bottom should match, or at least have more impact then the ubiquitous uniform of normal blue jeans… why not unbutton them and use her thumb to pull them down some, show off the length of the very long torso? Change into the bottom of that bikini, or another outfit altogether.
When you have a woman like this, with powerful looks, you must match the scene, her outfits or lack thereof, the backgrounds, and everything else, to get the best images. As is, she over powers the scene.
I could shoot her all day… stunning.
