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

photoprof has offered this critique,
Wow! This is an excitingly unique treatment of the typical misted spider web image. Its got sharpness, clarity, geometric interest, great contrast, and I just love staring at it. From my perspective, it would be perfect if the bright spot at bottom center fell on one of “rule of thirds” intersection points on either the bottom right or left and if the dark right corner background was either not there or projected further into the image. I’d love to know how you set this up.

I agree with Photoprof’s critique. I love this photograph. The sharpness is amazing!!! I love the small spotlight in the distance.

A truly great abstract! Every drop of water has a reflected light and is sharp. I keep exploring the image, following the strands of the web from drop to drop. This would make an great large print for sure!
Agree with photoprof about the positioning of the backlight. The background in the top right corner which is different from the rest of the background draws my eye slightly as well.
Likewise, would love to know how you set this up.

I agree with the others, this is just great. You could have easily lost the depth you have here, and a less experienced photographer probably would have. You managed to show us all an excellent example of a great abstract that is not only technically good, but artistically as well.
