About Rate + Critique My Landscape. Score 5, Post 1

Get five scores on your landscape photos by scoring the first five photos in the group using the official score code below, and then submitting your photo to get scored. Preferably, include some specific explanation of how you arrived at your score and what you consider to be the most significant aspects of the photo, including strengths and weaknesses, either artistic or technical.

=================================================================================
RML GROUP OFFICIAL RATING CODE ........copy and paste below. always use for rating in this group....

Rated __ / 100 by the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/ratemylandscape/"> <b> Rate (+Critique) My Landscape 5:1 </b> </a> group.
==================================================================================

It Will Looks Like This:
your critique comments/explanation of how you arrived at your score can go here

Rated _78_ / 100 by the Rate (+Critique) My Landscape 5:1 group.
or here

If your score format doesn't look like the above, it won't be detected, recognized or acknowledged by our sweeper, staff, or members.


Drop and Run (Non-raters)
Some people may submit a photo without rating. If you find such a photo, or if someone who's supposed to rate your photo doesn't, place the following code as a comment on that person's photo. Add any relevant text if you desire.

It will look like this: flickr Rate My Landscape Icon dnr

If You See That Tag On Someone's Photo

Do not critique that photo. Skip it and continue to critique five not counting that one. You will not be obliged to score it later. That photog has forfeited the right to get scored by you.

If You Get That Tag On Your Photo
Immediately write the five critiques that you were supposed to write before you submitted your photo. Then contact the person who put it there, and an active admin, by flickrmail, advise them you have critiqued, and include a link to your photo. They will check and if appropriate, will remove the DNR. If you remove the DNR comment without rating, you can expect to be banned. Understand your right to get scored by the photogs that submitted while you were DNR is forever forfeit.



==================================== IMPORTANT ======================================
!!!THIS IS AN INTERACTIVE SCORE GROUP. KNOW HOW TO PROCEED BEFORE YOU SUBMIT A PHOTO!!! =======================================================================================

*** Please be encouraging. Be friendly and use positive language to describe your reaction to, and to make suggestions about the photo. ***

Other Guidelines. Also see THE RULES

- Explain how you arrived at your score.
- Most photographers appreciate knowing how you arrived at your score, what you like and don't like about their photo, what they could do better, and how to do it.

- Thoughtfully and carefully critiquing other people's photographs is one of the best ways to improve your own photography.

- It is easier to be objective with other people's photographs then your own. The people who submit their photos to this group to allow you to critique them are giving you a gift.

- Treat the photos you critique as if you have been given a gift, since you have.

- Begin any critique by mentioning at least one thing what you like about the image.

- Make your critique constructive. Make it specific. Utilize positive language. Be encouraging.

- Avoid prejudice. You may not like every subject or style. Retain objectivity. Judge the photo on it's merits, not just your personal preferences or preconceptions.

- Adjust your comments to the obvious level of photography somebody is at when descernable.
Be aware that most people are amateur photographers and hobbiests.

Base your rating on composition, concept and creativity, as well as anything else you find important to the quality of a landscape image. Personal appeal is also important, of course, but should not be the only guide for your rating.

Ultimately, you should get 5 ratings. Add those together to get your total score which is out of 50.

If you have any thoughts, comments or ideas for the group, please feel free to start a new discussion thread.

This group is a milieu to provide you with feedback on your landscape photos from other photographers interested in the same genre. :-)



Rules Summary (Not a replacement for the complete Rules. Know them.)

1.
Rate the first six* photos in the pool on a scale of 1-100 utilizing the Official Group Rating Code prominently displayed above; and critique them in accordance with the Critique Guidelines; then submit one of your photos to be critiqued.

Do not advertise, spam, or promote anything with your comment from this group.


Landscapes comprise the visible features of an area of land, vegetation, human elements, including land use, buildings and structures, and transitory elements such as lighting and weather conditions.


Landscapes, combining their physical origins with the cultural overlay of human presence, reflect the living synthesis of people and place. Their character and quality help define the self image of a region--its sense of place that differentiates it from other regions. It is the dynamic backdrop to people’s lives.
