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 25 votes.
- An administrator can promote the photo.
Rating Photos
The Star Rating and Critique 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 critiques 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, and only when critiquing a photo.
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

Ka Sera Sera
Uploaded on: July 2, 2009
Recently meeting with some other photographers for a day of fun shooting, we had a chance to work with this wonderful young lady. Though very little modeling experience, she really brought and and proved to be an exciting model. I created most of my images this day with my 70-200 2.8 @ 2.8 and both my 50mm and 85mm lenses both set at 1.8, all in aperture priority. I made custom settings to my white balance to combat the “green” light from all the grass and tree bounce. This paticular image was captured with the 85mm on the D200 (the D300 held the 80-200).
I am not a huge fan of post production, I pretty much shoot in the camera what I want the final image to be, but this image needed something more, or something less as the case may be. Some tweaks in Lightroom, some desaturation and some other adjustments yielded this image which reminds me of the song Ka Sera Sera. There are several other images from this day in my “Mother Nature’s Light” album. There were also 2 other models this day.
