Are your portraits receiving high votes mostly women as well?
I didn't go through to see the split between male/female subject, but I have only a few non-female portraits at 8 or above. I was curious as to whether my Y chromosome makes me bias or whether women were voting this way as well... |

Not a lady, but I gave out 5 10's.... 3 of which were male. However I have a total of 13 in the 9-10 range, of which 10 are female.
What all this means.... probably nothing at all!
I just like to post! :0 |

I voted the entire challenge and up until almost the end of it, my only 10 was a male portratit. I am not homosexual and my Y cromozome is fine. But this is photography contest not a beauty contest. |

I'm a lady and I have a total of 17 images in the 8-10 range. 3 male, 1 dog and the rest female. If I remeber correctly there were way more women photographs in the challenge, so probably you will have more high votes of women. Although I could be wrong

I have 16 male shots at 7 or above, not counting children and animals :-)
But then I'd also guess that the percentage of female shots entered is quite higher then male. So it probably doesn't mean too much.

I went through and gave all the guy photos really low scores. Now I'm rating all the women pics on a 1 to 10 scale based on 'hotness' of the female subject.
You may think it's unfair, but I just don't want to have to look at photos of some dude for several days.

Your attitude is disgraceful. You should be ashamed of your puerile behaviour.
I hope the powers that be will disqualify ALL your votes to keep this site civilised and protected from the distortions that behaviour like yours causes.

| I have voted on all the images and in the top 8-10 I counted 9 males and 8 females and 1 non human image...LOL!! So I think I am about even. I didn't always go for beauty...I went for appeal....if an image touched me for whatever reason, then it scored highly for me. |

Well, I didn't always go for beauty either. But I wondered if in general the female face is more appealing on a genetic basis to males. It's the scientist in me...
My breakdown in portraits 8-10 is:
20 images
13 females
3 males
2 babies
2 animals

Well, I wasn't amused. There are so many deviant voters on this site who hide behind 'humour' and are defended by senior participants that the practice goes on without the condemnation it deserves.
There... I feel better now! |

| Not to vary too much from the topic but I tried to vote on the ability of the photog to capture the subject, and not the subject itself. Major bonus points to the pictures that gave you a look into the soul of the subject. However, my one bias was pictures of non-pet animals, because they are not posed(in the sense of a portrait). In my opinion a portrait is a posed photo of a living breathing subject. Let me know if you think that opinion is out of line, I try to vote in what I think is the spirit of the challenge! |

As I was voting I was wondering if some bias was creeping in. I noticed that a portrait of a young, but not too young, lady with a smile invariably favorably impressed me. I tried to maintain objectivity - but any picture that gives me good vibes is usually a leg up for me.
When I look at ones rated 8 or better, there is only one female - so hopefully I was successful in being a good voter. Unless I overcompensated...

Any guy saying a female portrait doesnt affect him.. well simply - he isnt a guy... (we suck)
For this chellange... i was struggeling to put my guy thoughts away and be objective...
take your time at voting.. somebody put out a lot of thought and will to make it..
it is highly important not to think as a guy in this chellange...
