Very Confused!
 
I've posted several dark shots in the last few days. Someone has been rating them as bad.

I've narrowed it down to who it is but using who online. Theres only been one user online on both days at the time the ratings were posted. It seems very likely its the user giving me bad ratings.

I don't understand why?

These are naturally dark photos. But the subject is in focus. If I didn't think these photos were fine I wouldn't post them.

So do you have the guts to come forward and say why you think they are bad?

As I'm writing this post, another user has rated the pics as bad. Why?

Have the guts to come forward and say why these are bad photos? I really do think you will struggle to justify it somehow...

I also appeal for the thoughts of other users on the pictures... you will see my recent offerings here:

I really am at a loss to figure out where I'm going wrong with these pictures?

Rate them bad if you wish, but have the maturity to come forward and tell me where you think I'm going wrong?

Thank you.

Dave

As I said at your posts in the phto section, forget it. This guy or gal is trying to get some attention to his looser life. We should ignore him/her and look for the coments only. At least is what I'm trying to do. The star rate system doesn't get my attention I just look to the coments.

Maybe they've got bad eyesight or a bad monitor or are afraid of the dark?
I wouldn't be too worried! I think the shots are cool.

Hey man!! DO NOT imply that it's me in any way shape or form!! I have nothing but positive things to say!! unless of course your busting on my choice of guns, Luis!!!! ;) :p


Seriously, Jock-I agree with you, if somebody's trying to punk you, they should just post on their thoughts........we're all nice people here!!!!!

My thoughts on this..
 
I think this needs to be referred to hammerfel. The people rating are unregistered guests.. they shouldnt have a facility to do this.

Alright saying to ignore it but when you spend time and effort the only people who should be able to comment on your efforts should be those willing to post a comment and rate it how they see fit.

The rating system need embedding into the comments section for members. This way theres no anonymous ratings or whatnot. I don't mind rating an image a 2 if it really is that bad.. but for the most part the work done by the members on this site is of really good consistency.

I have actually stopped uploading pictures here now.. and don't plan to unless this is addressed. It seems a major flaw in the whole process.

On a side note.. Dave your work is very inspiring.. some of your shots are eerily good and the wet suit one I saw earlier reminded me of a cinema/film style shot.. I really enjoy the photos you put out and hope that you continue to share with the community but Me personally I can't put my work out at the moment because I dont feel justified to let some two bit guest or unknown slate it.. this is very :( to see.

I must agree. I liked the dark photos, I tried to kick your rating up, it was at a 4 when I voted, but my vote didn't push it up a notch! :P

I can tell you from experience that it is hard to make nice photos in the dark like this, you did an excellent job, you can see the figures, they are in focus, etc., I cant get dark photos to come out when I do them, they are never good.

Job well done and ignore the loser who is giving you bad ratings, he/she is just a punk with nothing better to do.

Can unregistered people vote? That should be fixed if that is the case so they can't

I think your dark pics look great, especially the one of the night watch trooper!

I couldn't agree more.

Dave, I've had the exact same problem with a number of my pics too. One time I was posting five theme week pictures, and they had one star ratings even before I had finished posting them all. Of course, the little coward didn't have the guts to leave a comment to support their judgement, but like you I have a fair idea of who the culprit was. If I could prove it, they would be receiving a p.m. from me letting them know my thoughts on their gutless actions. Your pics are great Dave, just ignore the jealous little loser and keep posting those awesome shots, which the rest of us appreciate.

SERIOUSLY, guys!!! Unless this person that you think is doing it IS a woman (or a petty girl as the case may be), don't put the 'she' in there!! As far as I know I am the ONLY female on this board (well the only registered one in any case) And all I have is nice things to say......... :)

Don't worry about being 'PC' on this one......... :p

Those dark photos were better than anything I could do in the dark. They were very nice! Just like Frank said "Whos the a-- clown giving bad ratings!?!?"
