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
Pro Photo - Promoted to the Pro Gallery

On a recent assignment, I photographed this young lady with her computer. Setting up on location, I found this one to be a bit of a challenge. The 8’ backdrop was a very tight fit, and the ceiling was only at 7. For lighting, I opted for a 3 light setup using 3 Nikon SB800 flashes controlled via a SU800 on the Nikon D300 with the 17-55mm 2.8 lens. All lighting and exposure was set to manual.
The 17-55 lens is not my first choice for portraits, I much prefer the 85mm 1.8, but when you only have about 12’ of working space, you just can’t shoot with a lens that long.

Hey Tim, I don’t think I told you yet, I’m living in Florida now… I’ll be back in NH in about 2 years. Lisa and I moved down here to get some of our health back (or die) and I’m setting up some photo shoots on the east coast.
I’m posting this here because I doubt you check your messages anymore :-(

I am sending you an email.
