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

Aradia says,
I have found shooting closer to evening to kill a majority of the harshness when I did some shots of my truck for my dad. I have chrome all around my Silverado and when I took in the evening without much bright light, I got a nicer representation of the chrome without it being blown out.
I am not a professional, but that solved my problem, as I tried shooting it in full sun to show it in all its glory, but the light reflections actually hurt the images.

This is really excellent, I love it. The contrast is terrific, the details are sharp as a tack, and the lines are perfect. Great, great photo!

Thanks Julia and Aradia!
Aradia – when it’s a scheduled shoot.. I can control those factors.. it’s the ones I run into on rides, runs, bike shows etc. that I just have to work with ever light I have. Unfortunatley it’s nearly always at the hieght of harsh afternoon sun.. and asking somebody to move into more shady/difuused light.. well, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.. LOL – But thanks for your suggestion!
