!!!READ ALL THE RULES BELOW - OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES!!!
==================================

*** Please be encouraging. If you don't like a photo don't attack it. Be friendly :o) ***

Finding myself in a place I've never been



==============================================================

The rules are as follows:
-----------------------------------
1. Post your picture to the group (One at a time!)

2. IMMEDIATELY rate the 5 photos to the right of yours on the front page
(the 5 that were there before you posted yours) on a scale of 1-5.
Then wait until five more people post before you add another to the pool.
(For the ratings use the code provided below.)

3. If you rate a photo under 5, you MUST explain your reasons!
That is what helps people grow as photographers.

We know that this is challenging and can be hard in the beginning, but try this:

- Start by higlighting what you like about the image.
- Then give constructive comments, to the best of your abilities, of how it could be improved.
- What stopped you from giving it a 5/5?
- Have a look at other comments on photos in the pool to see what people wrote.

Please do not give comments that are unnecessary and unhelpful. Simply stating "I don't like it" or "This doesn't do it for me" helps no one.

4. Please try to adjust your ratings and your comments to the obvious level of photography somebody is at.
Be aware that most people are amateur photographers. If we were professionals, we'd be out making the cash, right?

5. IF YOU DO NOT COMMENT, BUT GIVE A LOW SCORE, YOU WILL BE WARNED AND YOUR PHOTO WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE POOL.

6. Use the code below for your rating.
Select the code, copy it and and paste it into the comment field of the photo.:

7. After pasting it in replace the _ with the rating you want to give the photo.
5 is the best, and 1 is the worst.
(In reality you shouldn't have to give a rating lower than 2, unless the photo is amazingly bad).

8. Your rating should be based on composition, concept and creativity, as well as anything else you find important to the quality of a landscape image. Personal appeal is also imortant, of couse, but should not be the only guide for your rating..
Please rate the photo not the presentation. Don't score less because you don't like the frame!

9. In the end, you should get 5 ratings out of 5.
Add those together to get your total score which is out of 25.

If you have any questions or problems, even after reading all this, feel free to post them in HERE.

If you have any thoughts, comments or ideas for the group then please feel free to leave a new thread.
We are trying to make life here easy for everyone and ensure that you enjoy the group :-)

Any rule breakers will be given a warning, and if necessary, will be banned from the group.
