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.

I love both versions of this. The only thing I might be inclined to say is that one red apple in the middle I would have seen it a little sharper. My eye keeps going to it, and I wonder if it is just my poor site. But I love the composiion.

This photo leaves me feeling like I just stepped into the store – so you have captured the emotion well.
I get the feeling that everything is leaning slightly to the left – 1-2 degrees of clockwise rotation is needed. The main focus is on the apples, and I would have really liked to see this shot from about the same height as the apples – this would have meant getting your shooting position down a little bit and maybe even very slightly to your right.
The dark conditions really worked well for this photo – the shadows are really dark and the light fall-off around the curved barrel and pot add to the olde-world feel.
I would have liked to have seen the bottom of the wooden barrel a little sharper as well, and that would have meant stepping down a little bit to give slightly more DOF. You could have done this and also lowered your shutter speed slightly as well, used the IS to compensate. The bright spot on the foreground pot and 1 of the boards in the barrel leave me wondering if this shot is very slightly over-exposed.
