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.

photoprof has offered this critique,
I love the composition and the country feel of this image. the subject is engaging and the diagonal line leads the eye nicely through the image. The colors appear a little flat, the reds and greens of the apples, and the variegated leaves of the plant in the center lack “pop”. These colors should be more vibrant and saturated. There is also a lack of crisp focus in the grain of wood. Given your extremely high ISO of 1600 and relatively slow shutter speed of 1/90 sec, I think all of these concerns are simply the result of a low light condition. Even with a Manual camera setting, I don’t see much that you could have done differently. Increasing shutter speed would help with sharpness but you’ve got no ISO flexibility. You may have been able to capture this with your 70mm lens using a wider aperture but I don’t know if it was available with your lens and you would have lost some depth of field. Perhaps this would have been a good time to use flash.
I might also try shooting from just a little bit lower to eliminate that shiny metal circle from the top center of the frame.
This critique was considered helpful. [+10 xCredits]
