Photo Rating

What is the point of rating a photo unless you're going to tell someone that they are beautiful, they are attractive to you, or that you just like the photo?

I've just turned mine off, particularly because a few people have taken the trouble to give my daughter a low rating for her art work.

Whilst I understand that some people may have got the scale arse-about-face and rated a 1 thinking it was the highest score, I'm a little worried that some low ratings are given out of spite.

If you think I'm butt ugly, or my daughter is talentless, then walk on by, but for goodness sake, if you are going to rate someone, don't batter their self-esteem into the ground.

I happen to think that she is very talented, particularly as this is niave art, she has had no tuition and she has a really individual style. The kid needs bigging up, not putting down.

What is the point of that???

unfortuntely some ppl like to disempower rather than empower..dunno and its those ppl that have low self confidence and self-esteem, apparently makes them feel good, again pathetic...mumbling dont think they took the wrong turn, just unhappyz ppl....and im sure u have a very beautiful daughter, cuz i can tell shes has a very beautiful mother for posting on her behalf....bouquet good 4 you......
oh now your just speculating my mind is hot but more of a scrambled egg hot . is chuffed good ? ? ? ? ? ?
Well!! jac379 i think you look lovely and i think your daughter is very talented since i put my photo up i aint got one reply but my ethos is what you see is what you get i,m not hiding anything wink grin
some people have never seen the look on a childs face when they are creating something,if they did, i,m sure the ratings would have hit the roof. i never saw your daughters art, it would be nice if you put it back on, don,t let a few take away the joy of what others may have gotten from it.. let alone the exposer your daughter has got from it .. keep her painting regardless of the critic,s..i like it already and i have,ant even seen it yet..laugh wine
Whats the point of asking for a rating if you only expect compliments? If you cant take the truth, as some people see it, then dont ask for a rating in the first place. Also, who cares whether your daughter is "talented" or not? Is it her on this website, or you? Im not sure Ive ever met any parents who didnt have some kind of bias towards their own children and you sound fairly typical of that.
your daughter is very talented...and I also agree you should seek other avenues for posting the art.....clearly she has talent that cannot be judged by the likes of "Connecting Singles" cheers
hi girly well i think you look great peace teddybear
Its funny how all the good looking woman dont realize how hot they are,
In side and out in most cases!
Like you jac!

I dont think you would have to worry about the negative comments, If she turns out like her mother than she will do just fine, Besides negative people she will meet and have to deal with it, I just hope you try to make her understand this.

I know all to well, One of my parents was just that way, But One always showed me the difference, Knowing is the most important part!

Make sure she knows that these people exist, And to pay attention to those that matter instead of one's that dont!
And never , Ever Blame herself for the way they are, Or what they say!
Take care jac.
u r HOT!

its a great work! the girl in the art work looks hotter than you wink i m not sure how can someone qualify it as bad work. i remember as a kid, i drew a lion. it came out great and i got full marks from the teacher. i kept that pic with me for many years. i kinda still remember it. ur daughter's work is 10 times better than mine
quite correct. love your photos
