I'm with Roz - Not sure what people get hung up about - if you like the image vote on it.
Knowing who took it only becomes an issue if you give a biased score because of the person and not the photo. |
I could not find the exact rule anywhere, but I am sure I remember seeing somewhere that it is against rules to vote on an image that you have seen and know who's image it is. (that especially comes into play during side challenges like the dpl or dpco when a team helps a member decide which image to enter in a challenge) What I think is interesting is that lots of folks around here enjoy having themselves in a lot of their entries, so everyone that is a regular here knows that it is their entry anyways, but for some reason that is ok. 
Ok, back to scores. Mine has been on the rise, finally. :) Still a long way to go, but it is now above my average. |
There is no rule about voting on shots when you know the user. There IS, however, a rule about asking people to vote for your photo specifically. |
If I know the user, it's because I'm familiar with their work, but that doesn't mean I can't be unbiased.
If I have seen the photo before the challenge, however, then I refrain from voting on it. I figure I've had extra time to think about that photo, and I think it gives it an advantage (or disadvantage). |

Geez! This is aweful. Well at least it's been climbing. Started the morning with a 4.1.
I've returned to this site after a 6-year hiatis and it appears the scoring is a lot stingier than it used to be. Practically by 2-3 whole points. YIKES. I must admit the level of photography has gone up tremendously as well - much more competitive, but I guess I'm not understanding how people vote nowadays. Maybe I'll start a new thread to see how people vote. I mean what criteria they use or if most just vote soley on appeal????? |

Maybe I'm getting grumpy from being almost half way through commenting and rating. :>)

Sounds like you're just tired, Tom, so by all means take a break. Start again fresh in the morning. |

You gave an AVERAGE score of 9.0? Those could end up getting tossed out by the tabulation system which checks for skewed voting (too many high or low scores). But thank you for taking the time to vote on all of the images. |
My guess is he's just messing around and having a bit of fun. No challenge is worthy of an avg vote of 9+ across the board. |
your thoughts are right.
Instead of voting 4'5'6's I voted 8'9'10's so as to try and balance out the stupidity :-) of the early voting, probably stupid of me!! BUT there are a great deal of excellent photo's in this challenge. |

I believed the same was happening as I went through, people are using different files shot for other challenges during the month, and not doing a specific shoot for Free Study. |

It does.
Both - sometimes you can't help it but compare to other images in the same challenge. For instance, in this challenge, there seems to be a lot of grayscale imagery with single object color. While the goal is to evaluate every image independantly from the others you know that it's getting to be a bit much when you view the next image and say to yourself "not another one". :>)
It's the same with portraits - you almost have to compare to the other images in the challenge in order to properly evaluate it and give your opinon as to what does and doesn't work.
So far, I'm about half way through and I've got to take a break for a day or so just to get back into being neutral and properly evaluate the submissions. There are so many terrific images, that I'm finding myself scoring higher than I normally do and I score high anyway because of the way I view the rating system.

Thanks so much for the comment. I'm not doing too well scorewise but comments like yours help me understand why (and feel appreciated).
There... maybe that will give you inspiration to continue. |

Some asshat just gave me a freakin 1. (with no comment of course, so they do not have to own up to being a troll)
ETA: it dropped me an entire .1 just in that one vote

so often in a free study the ppl voting will have seen either the same photograph in a side challenge, a slightly different one in another challenge or one that mimics other shots that have been taken before ..
i didnt think that would be a problem when we are entering something that we feel is our best for the month ...
i would've thought that the voters would take each photograph on its own merits in a free study and vote accordingly .. :)

I would gladly trade points for well thought out (ETA: either complimentary or critical) comments. I got a great comment from Tom ( teafran) that made up for the vote of 1 I got shortly after it. His comment totally contradicted, in a positive way, the 4 word comment I had gotten to that point.
