Do you guys with the higher averages vote on all the images in a challenge?

I always feel like I'm too harsh when voting, but I guess I'm still just average.

Yes. But I have a feeling that my definition of average may be different.

I use 5 as an average photo, but an average photo (imo) is what my uncle nelbert could take with his point and shoot. So that's why I have a 6+ average. Most of the photos on here are better than uncle nelbert. :)

I usually do. These days. But I don't vote on every challenge. When I first started on DPC I concentrated more on commenting and only voted 20-30% of the challenge. There's no way I have the time to vote and comment on everything.

I also feel more obligation to vote the challenges I am entered in. Pretty much the opposite of some others who won't vote anything they are entered in for concern of bias. The only time I feel biased is when I've given feedback.

I first vote on an image as to how it has impacted upon me and how well I feel it has met the challenge description. When I come across an image that I don’t at first like or understand I force myself to look at it closer to try and see what the photographer thought was worth sharing with our community. This usually results in me not giving as low a vote as I might if I had just dismissed it.

I have rarely (very rarely) not voted on an entire challenge once I’ve decided to vote on it. I personally don’t feel it is fair to only vote on the shots that appeals to me from a thumbnail.

Bet you I'd love Uncle Nelbert's stuff, Wendy! You know I would. Has he got a website?

...and surprisingly enough, my votes have covered the entire range. Do I consider myself a troll for voting some images low... not in the least. Do I have some Posthumous images as favorites...yes I do.

GO figure.

Hahaha! You'd hate Nelbert's stuff. It's "stick the nephews in front of a wall and have them paste cheesy smiles on their faces"

However you'd adore Aunt Milicent's stuff! That's the blurry mess side of the family. :P
