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.

JuliaB has offered this critique,
Oh my! Look at this! What a wonderful photograph! A near perfect framing, the water is perfectly milky and that bright area in the background is almost magical. This photo looks to me like someone is peeking through the thick brush and comes upon a slow, shallow, creek that is incredibly peaceful. The photographer see this scene and immediately recognizes the perfect position to show the viewer what she is seeing. By slowing the shutter speed and showing us the water as a smooth, milky white element is just a bonus to the a great looking scene. F16 was perfect for this, allowing everything to stay nice and sharp. The shutter speed was slow enough to get the exact amount of milkiness that you needed for this scene.
What a great job! Shot manually you made every decision and did so with flare. I am impressed and delighted to see such a photograph this morning.
