Pro Photos

In order for a photo to be designated with the "pro" status one of two things must happen:

1. A photo must have a rating of or higher than 4 after 25 votes.
2. 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
