How I Score: I start be reviewing all the thumbnails to get the lay of the land and to get a sense of what to expect. The thumbnails often do not truly represent the larger image, but it is a good starting point.
I will pick a picture which intrigues me, and start rating. I will often provide comments, but not always.
What I look for in a photograph:
Composition-wise, the image must
- be a photograph and not a simple snapshot (from my limited exposure to the talent on this site, the snapshots really stand out)
- follow basic design elements:
-{ Space
-{ Line
-{ Colour - or not
-{ Shape
-{ Texture
- responsibly address any irritating factors, such as out of focus/blurry or background objects coming out of the side of the subject, etc.
Technically:
- The composition - see space and shape above
- The exposure - subjective based on the image
- The use of light - shadows, highlights - they are all important
- Depth of field - this is one of my pet peeves, personally and when I look at others images.
There is always a photo were the above guidelines are intentionally broken - I seek those, and give them high marks... :-)
After rating some images, and sadly giving some low marks, I felt inclined to write this up, and I will likely edit it as I go. If I gave you a low mark, please remember, this is only my opinion, don't take it to heart. Especially if you are a beginner.
I rate things like my photographer teacher taught me to, sorry.
