Cast your vote at the Pentax Photo Gallery

New! If you are an accepted artist over at the Pentax Photo Gallery you can now go to the artist page and review and cast votes on submitted images.

I found the act of weighing an images worth very engaging. Here are the voting guidelines:

As an accepted artist of the PENTAX Photo Gallery you have the ability to help in the image selection process. Only approved artists can participate in the voting process.
Our goal is to receive fair and unbiased input to help in the selection process. To this end, Photo Gallery participants cannot vote on their own photos. The photographer of each image available for voting will remain anonymous during this process. To further protect the process, your vote, either positive or negative, cannot be viewed by the photographer.
PENTAX retains the rights to the final selection process; however, your vote helps narrow the field to the best images. PENTAX reserves the right to decline an image for any reason even if the image has received positive votes. This can be due to various reasons including, but not limited to, subject matter, incompatible aspect ratios, the inclusion of watermarks or copyrights, resolution, or the quality of the image.
Please vote based on the technical and artistic merits of each image. When reviewing images please consider composition, exposure, subject matter, lighting, focus and other image aspects.
Also, ask yourself the following questions when considering your vote:
  • Can you see this image in a traditional photo gallery or printed publication?
  • Does this image elicit an emotional response?
  • Is this image original?
  • Does this image offer a personal perspective of the subject and display the unique vision of the photographer?
  • Would this photo stop you if it were hanging in a gallery?
By agreeing to these terms you state that you will give your unbiased opinion on each image presented based on that image's artistic and technical merits.
