IKLland Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Personally, I think this is a five start file. It’s sharp, good background, good exposure, good composition, and lighting is fine. But, it’s rated at a four. It might be from people bombing it or it might be from four star ratings. So I’m asking, four or five and why? https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/421532401 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate it, might be a good shot here and there but it sure isn’t consistent like some people haha. I still tend to upload some crappy photos, trying to get to 5K photos on the library all time by the end of the year and I’m not going to get there with all 5 stars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might be able to have them upload a video if you send it to them if it’s interesting enough, but don’t quote me on that. Not sure though, the library might be overwhelmed if everyone started uploading vids though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
