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

Congratulations on trying what I consider to be a very difficult shot. Even though I’m a member of the critique team, I’ve chosen to simply comment since I can’t claim expertise on the lighting required to capture a nice spider web. I’m anxious to read the suggestions of other critique team members. While my initial reflex was to question the composition and framing – why all the blank space below and to the right of the spider, I do see that their is a faint web at these positions and I know thats what you wanted to capture. I think a black background and perhaps some spray mist would help but other than that, I’m at a loss on this one.

I’m a huge fan of spider photos. I do prefer the macro shots of them because of the detail that you can see in them. This is a good shot but I would love to have seen a different view from this guy. I know from experience that the focus can be hard to get on spider shots. Overall, I think it’s a pretty good spider photo.
