| How do you vote when you really don't see what the picture has to do with the contest theme, but you think it's an excellent photograph? |

| ha ha I know what you mean ... the rating system has an absolute scale but you don't know what the criteria is to vote on .. I usually take off about 3 to 5 points depending on how much it deviates from the contest |

Try to keep the theme in mind while voting. It is up to you how much you deduct. Remember there could be several interpretations of the theme.

| I deduct 9 points for those that don't meet the challenge in a Free Study! But then I'm hardcore. ;-) |

| I don't have a fixed scale, but if it is off theme (or appears so to me) I would never give it more than a seven. Sometimes you get a picture you really like and you want it to fit the category and submit it anyways. Some categories are more open to interpretation. I try to give a nudge to pictures that attempt something different- trying to avoid the obvious subjects that fit a category. My submission to "ODD" had a lone figure in it and a couple of people left comments that they did not see what was "odd" about it. A similar (and better) picture to mine had three figures and got a ribbon. Generally I am honest enough to myself about which comments are meaningful and which are not. |

| How about a picture that there's not anything technically wrong, but something about it just pisses you off? |

This would probably be an excellent image to comment on. It might help you decide a number as you are typing. |
