I've just deleted..

... my generous 7 rating on this photograph. I'll have to give it a second thought after finding your "3" rating in my id=22853, "Studies on reflective surfaces"., and your liking for "3" ratings on different photographs. My opinion - assuming ,of course, one is absolutely free to give whatever rating he/ she thinks is fair- is that very low ratings should be accompanied by an explanation or justification of such low ratings. I've never rated lower than five, I think. Otherwise, I would surely either justify the rating or not rate it at all. By the way: my pic id=22853 needs a "1","2", "4" and "5" rating to complete the whole scale from 1 to 10. Please, be nice and fill in the missing gaps. Just a game. I still consider that pictue a good one. despite very important people's opinions. Cheers.

Being thoughtful about ratings

I recommend the article, The Art of Rating, by Charez Golvala http://contaxg.com/document.php?id=2010

Thanks, James

I've just printed that article and will read it carefully, so as other people's comments to it. I think it throws light on the issue and I'm sure it will help me. Thanks again.
