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 50 votes.
- An administrator can promote the photo.
Rating Photos
The Star Rating 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 star ratings 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.
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

Great shot. The fence gives great direction in the photo.

Over the years I’ve seen a lot of these perspective shots with fences… did some myself at the Dallas ranch where they filmed “Dallas” ... when they work they work well, when they don’t, well, they just don’t… This one does work and its an excellent shot… I really love this one.
Smilie, your photos go from the stunning to the “what?” ... you got real talent but sometimes I think you might be shooting just to shoot. Your hits are real hits, but some of your misses are really misses… Your viewefinder is your canvas, when looking at the image in the viewfinder ask yourself if you would spend the time needed to paint it… then decide to click the shutter or not.

Hummmmmm, good advise. I do paint a little but I have never thought about approaching photography from that angle. Of course, art is sooooo subjective.
