Birds are cool Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Alright, thanks. I was wondering why my photo got so many ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueJay Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I know you shouldn't really post your own photos in this thread, but it has happened twice consecutively that my (I think) 5 star photos were bombed to a four. If you guys could tell me if I'm missing something that obviously makes these a 4 or if the "rate bombing issue" has affected my pictures. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/466613601# https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/466113111# 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second is a borderline photo, a four that is very close to a five. Personally, the lighting is too harsh as the eye is somewhat in a shadow and isn’t at a relatively pleasing lighting angle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 May be me, but are these three star quality? https://ebird.org/checklist/S108365494 Mourning dove photo is a two star. I really thought that the Wilson's plover and one of the least sandpiper photos were actually kind of good. What are your thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the plovers/sandpipers and gulls I’d give fours. The tern is a two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLecy Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I don't usually do this, but these photos (they are mine) have always bugged me. I can see how a few of them are solid fours, but at least two of them feel like no doubt fives, IMHO. In fact, a few of the pics might actually be some of the best shorebird photos I have ever taken. It feels to me like they were bombed down to a four, but with 38 ratings on one of the pics, maybe I'm just trippin'.
