DLecy Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 It's not the world's best photo of a Ruff, but 3 stars?! This had 5 stars for along time and then must have gotten some really low votes. ?♂️ https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/364740721 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it is definitely not a 3 start photo, it is a very high 4 for me. If it was cropped in a little closer I would say five. By the way, I rated it five anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s been a couple people going through and downrating everything on the front page or best of day photos for a long time now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, South American hummingbirds are so great! Some really weird ones down there, from looking at eBird. Been to every continent except for Antarctica and South America, if you count New Zealand as part of Australasia. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredlelievre Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I was looking on google if other people had also had bad experiences about rating with ebird despite having good photos and it seems that I am not alone! I recently uploaded a bunch of Least Bittern photos to ebird and someone is descending my images with one star. It is quite difficult to recover from a bad rating of one star if only few people rate image and I hope ebird will find a solution for that in near future. For the moment, if some of you want to rate my Bittern images, they can be found on this list: https://ebird.org/checklist/S93851865 Thanks, 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan B Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I'm pretty sure this photo just got review bombed, it just went from five stars to four stars, and the first four ratings were all five stars. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/366285181 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
