Like you I give a lot of 9's, 8's and 7's. I do give a few tens, usually only 1 or 2 per challenge though some challenges I don't give any.
The current free study is an exception as I have given 4 10's so far. For me to give a 10 is to see an image where I can see nothing that would make it better.
Some people use the scale so that a 10 is the best in the challenge and a 1 is the worst in the challenge. There is nothing wrong with this approach. In fact, if you feel overwhelmed with the number of entries this may be a way to start classifying the entries.

I usually only give one or two "10's" in any given challenge. But in some cases, such as the October Free Study, that may double or even triple.

For some reason when I started voting on challenges I started picking the one picture that I would choose for first place if I were a judge and giving that one a 10. Then I'd give 9's to any I'd be pleased to see in 2nd place and 8's to any I'd be pleased to see in 3rd place. Those that were good photos, but not IMO good enough to ribbon, get 6s and 7s. The 5s are the average photos that met the challenge-- those anybody could take with an expensive camera.
That's a long way of saying, yes, I give one 10 per challenge.
Haven't done so in the OFS yet because there are about 5 I'd choose for first and a couple of hundred I'd choose for 2nd and 3rd. |

I've given about 80 10's since June. If I really like a photo I'm not afraid to give it the highest score, that doesnt mean its the greatest shot ever taken in the history of the universe, just means I was really impressed. You've recieved 10s and so have I and I appreciate it when I get them so I'm not going to hold back giving them when its warrented in my opinion. |

Absolutely!
I give 10's whenever I think they are warranted. I think it's just plain silly to "ration" out the 10's, or only give it to one image per entry. There are nearly always a number of images deserving of a 10 in any given challenge.
Have I ever rated an entire challenge WITHOUT giving a 10? Yes, but that is very rare, and in fact I think I've only done that twice in 3 years.
How would you like it if your photo deserved a 10, but by the time someone got around to voting on yours they had already given out "their one 10", and they looked at yours and thought, well, it's a 10, but I've already given that out, and I've given out all the 9's I want to, this will just have to get an 8, or maybe a 7. NOPE-if it deserves a 10, it's going to get a 10 from me. |

I agree. In Bizzare Nature I gave five 10's.
Amendment: Six 10's actually. Sometimes there are less sometimes even more.

I usually give a 10 to the top 1 to 3 photos in any challenge. Sometimes more, sometimes none. |

Just looking back on my statistically favorite photographs for reference, since Botany, I've given 100 10's. I'm pretty generous with them when I'm wowed by a shot. I see nothing wrong with using the top end of the scale, it's there to be used at will, right? Consequently, I find more often than not, I RARELY give out scores below 4 nowdays. I used to be as generous with 1's and 2's as I am with 9's and 10's (you can tell that by my current "average vote given") but as I grow and learn, I find that I am much more understanding, generous, and interpretive of the meaning behind the shot rather than the shot itself. I hope that made sense...I haven't finished my morning coffee yet so I might be rambling.

You know, there are nicer ways to make your point. And that's not the thought process I use at all.
Just another reminder for me to stay out of the forums. |

I give 10s to photos so good that I would buy them. Most, though not all, of my favorite photos were a nine or ten.

The voting scale here at dpc is 1 thru 10. If you don't use the whole scale you are doing a disservice to all who enter the challenges. Remember that we are voting on the challenge entries, not all the photos ever taken. |

I don't treat DPC voting same as exibition judging. I do give out 10s. In fact I have given over 30 10s in OFS. |

If I like a photo, it gets 10
I vote according to personally liking a photo, technical competence, on challenge, in that order. |

Glad to hear that Jacko! Your shots have earned you plenty of 10s. |

"10"s? Sure, I give out quite a few, some challenges I give out several, sometimes only one, but I just give a "10"to which ever photo or photos are the best in the challenge to me. Why not? |

11/07/2004 02:33:17 PM · #24 |
Countless "10" but alas I have not voted in awhile. It doesn't have to be the absolutely perfect image to received a "10", but rather one of the best in the challenge. |

I give quite a few 10's... 7 in the Music challenge. I've rarely given 1's... But I've always been an easy grader :)
