I was thinking of a thread where a member could post a single picture and a short comment only. Then other users would be able to comment and give it a 1 - 10 rating for both technique and creativity. (This is very similar to photo.net). It would be a very useful tool for people out there who are just learning photography. I realise that this is a resource that is available elsewhere but it would be nice for UER members to be able to get real feedback on their pictures from members of the UE community. It is always nice to know what people like and dislike about your work. Does anyone else think this would be a useful addition? The end of the beginning is the beginning of the end.

It would be great if my picture got an 8.2 or something, but if you don't tell me why, you haven't helped me. With the option of a rating scale, I can see many people simply giving it a numerical rating with no written rationale.

Would that be more do-able? Although then again, you'd still need some sort of gallery type of layout, maybe a specific gallery per user so all that user's pictures go into one place and people can go and vote on the specific ones, or sorry, critique the specific ones.

Maybe a text comment could be required before the numerical vote could be given. The comment box could even have two sectiosn with built in text - What I like about this photo is... , What I don't like about this photo is ... Av, What if it was limited to 1 or 2 pictures per user and there was say a 2 week expiry period after which it would be automatically deleted or archived? Edit - Frost, I was thinking of something more than just a voting system. [last edit 4/23/2004 3:52 PM by Detroit - edited 1 times] The end of the beginning is the beginning of the end.

Maybe the pictures are posted, and can be voted on, the numberical vote would be seen publicly whereas criticism/advice/whatnot could maybe be routed directly to the poster via PM or email. Not sure if that could be coded, but you've amazed me so far Av. Something like this should come to fruit in one incarnation or another; it is a great idea.

I would even offer to program it, but it would have to be php since unfortunately I am not an asp whiz.

It would give us an opportunity to see what people who shoot what we shoot think. It's not like we do children's portraits, so it's hard to get a good opinion.
