OK - I just finished scoring my inital pass of Vanishing Point. There were several images where the thumbnail was nearly as big as the submitted image. For me - it is impossible to adequately judge as I can't really look critically at focus for example.
I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt - and scored them as if a better size would not expose any flaws. But I also made (or will make) comments about the size.
Out of curiosity - how do you score the little guys? Do you deduct points?

I for one vote them low, usually 1
but I also tell them it is far too small to judge fairly.
We can all submit a superb looking thumbnail !

| I vote pretty low for these. Usually a 2 or 3, depending on the composition. I also mention that the image is too small to get an idea of the quality and that they should take advantage of the maximum 640 which is allowed. |

| Yeah, who uploads those anyway? Is it just lack of resizing knowledge or are they using cheap webcam/cellphone cameras? |

| I usually assume that they're new, and vote the photo on the merits of what I can see (along with a comment on the size). I couldn't slap a promising photo with an automatic 1 just because it could be bigger. |

Thank you for this thread. It will help more people like me. I submitted a photo for the first time and it is one of the small ones. I did not realize that it was going to be that small when I submitted it. And I know that̢۪s my fault and whatever score I get, I deserve because of my mistakes. I just thank everyone that has posted a comment; it will help me learn and hopefully it will help me improve my picture quality.
Again thanks for this tread. I think it will be helpful not only me but others.

If it's intentional, beautiful and meets the challenge it'll get a 10 from me. Sometimes it's not clear so it gets mentioned in my comment.

If it's size doesn't get in the way of my ability to judge it and appreciate it then I will still score it highly.
However sometimes smaller images are harder to judge as I can't really see the detail as well as I'd like. In those cases I try to judge what is there as best I can but I will inevitably knock a point or two off it, not specifically for it's small size but because I can't see it well enough to really ascertain much.
