How do you rate?

amyl · Sep 30th, 2005, 20:34

Hey ppl!

i have been crusing thru the foto galleries and rating them if i feel so. but at times i land at some picture that i think is not 10 but see someone rating it 10 so just wondered how u all rate the pictures.

what all aspects of the picture do u see when rating? the subject itself, framing of the picture, light, focusing, the theme if the picture tacitly conveys any etc etc. many might just go by the feeling.....based on just how much happy/joyous the picture makes u when u first see it

(i sometimes do that

)

this is an inquisitive post of mine wanting to know and learn more about photography.

cheers,
Amyl

I like photos showing people doing what they do in their everyday lives,
ie the chai man making his chai, or someone doing some other task in their natural surroundings. Not so taken on posed shots or shots which have been obviously cropped to get rid of something or other, To me thats like cheating,,,,,,,,,,,

In my humble opinion, we "rate" (if we rate at all) each picture that pleases us because it pleases us. That to our own individual eye, it attracts us. It could be a photo of a sundown, or of a towering temple - it depends on who is loooking at bit. there cannot be any hard and fast rules about rating, what one person thinks to be not so great a photo, another will rave about. That's my ever-so-umbel-opinion
