I tend to vote higher than the average (meaning I do not recall ever giving a 1, 2 or 3)however, I do not think I have ever given a 10.
Typically photos that strike me as average get 5's or 6's, the ones I really like get 8's and the ones that are better than average but without the impact of an 8 get a 7. 9's are very special to me and I give them very sparingly, almost always with comments. In the Rain challenge I gave 1 nine and I believe 19 eights.
I think that if a person is trying to take a photograph of the challenge subject then they should be given at respectable score for their attempt. Likewise, I believe a 10 is an absolutely perfect photograph, which I have yet to see. So bassically I use a 5 point system (5-9) and my score is my comment.
Sometimes however, I am so moved by a photograph either positively or negatively, that a comment is warranted. In those cases, I attempt to be polite yet straight.

My method is this, while voting if my cat Bruce comes up to me then I'll comment on that photo. If he stops and looks at the screen, then I give it a good positive comment. If he turns and walks away, then I slam it! I trust Bruce's judgement, he has never let me down, that I know of.
...on a sidenote: Bruce tends to normally think highly of abstracts.

What I want to know is, if I am COMPLETELY HONEST, will people get upset? How thick skinned is everyone? I have very little knowledge of photography compared to the majority of members here. I know what I think is a good photo. And if I think that your photo is terrible, so you really want to read that? How can I be honest about my opinions without being negative? If someone could help me with that, I would leave more comments. |
I welcome honest feedback on any of my work.
Feel free to practice on anything in my portfolio. If you like, I'll give you feedback on your comments. If you're interested, leave some comments on any photos you choose and PM me for the feedback.

To me, feedback is the primary focus of my membership here. I want it all - honest, brutal, constructive, off-the-wall, off-topic, personal, emotional, etc. IMHO, there is no comment I receive that is not helpful in some form or fashion. I also try my very best to provide commentary (albeit personal and from my own somewhat inexperienced point of view) on every plea for feedback I see. (BTW: I left you a comment SDW65!)
I think it's not only our right, but out responsibility to provide our own twisted views to those of us asking for opinions. It's like the saying, just like a**holes, everybody has one, so why not share it?!? ;-)
At least for my own part, that's why I'm here - to get feedback on my work. I don't care if you've never taken a photograph in your life or if you are a successful photographer by profession. Your opinion matters. That's the only way that I can get better - that and by providing my own points of view to those who want to receive. It's amazing how much you can learn by commenting yourself... Try it...
