I reserve 10s for the really epic photos. I usually give 1 or 0 in a challenge. Seldom 2 10s. Far less often I award a 1. That's when the photo really isn't something to look at (in my opinion) and is completely not in line with the challenge - not even a shoehorn.

When do you give a 1?

I reserve my 1's for when I can be sure an image has been made by a Marc Klynhans, not because the image itself is bad, but more because he asks daft questions. :)

Vote however you feel best :) that's one of the great things about the site! Your not accountable to anyone regarding how you vote! if you vote fairly.

Just use the scale from 1 to 10 as you see it! and most of all enjoy your time here :)

I do, and I do... :) Thanks. Just wondered if there were differing methods of how others vote. I have heard of some who 1-10 the challenge, but I vote each photo individually, not relative to any other one in or out of the challenge.

I know you enjoying yourself here and I'm enjoying the comments you leave! Just remember when you open up a thread on voting your going to attract a lot of negativity!!

Apparently you and a few others feel the same.
I seriously don't know why I subject myself to this anymore.
It's fun to take the photos and respond to a theme, but if I just don't enter... .well it's an idea anyway.

I used to give a 1 for DNMC... when they CLEARLY did not meet the challenge, even with a shoehorn (shoehorns to me are just clever, innovative ways of meeting the challenge).

Now I normally score 4-10 with the 9s and 10s being exceedingly rare.

If a photo does not meet the challenge, then I apply a standard -3 penalty. I rate the quality of the photo, then ding it with a -3 penalty for ~~spelling errors~~, er DNMC.

So then *IF* a photo is 4-worthy and DNMC, it would get a 1, but more often than not, it gets a 2 -- most of the people who know how to read a challenge description can actually take decent 6+ photos, so the -3 doesn't hurt them as bad in final score. However, we've had many veterans here who DNMC and still won, so you never know the power of eye candy.

Penny I was just jokeing around I actually like to hear how people vote.
I also liked your entry to the street photography challenge, I was one of your 9's.

If it's in color, I give it a 2.

If it's in focus, I give it a 2.

If it's in color *and* in focus, I give it a 1.

I mentally suffered dearly because mine has bright blue in it and such good focus. The only saving grace is it's at 4.3
