I think it's important to have just one scale to actually vote on. Sometimes I know I like one photograph better than another, but I might rate it lower if I rated based on a few different categories. It really isn't possible to categorize all the things I see in a photograph that I like/dislike, and the different categories certainly are not always equal when I try to determine which photograph is better.
However, I think it would be good if there was a suggested way to vote on the voting page. edbook posted the method he uses to vote on photos:
Topic: 0, 1, 2, or 3 points depending on how well the image expressed the topic.
Composition: 0, 1, 2, or 3 points depending on the quality of composition
Technical: 0, 1, 2, or 3 points depending on technical quality
I think it would be good if the voting page *recommended* voting based on something like this, although enforcing it in any way would probably make it too difficult to make sure you vote higher for photographs that you like more than others.
