This is interesting, although I am a bit confused by the 'starting at 1' system. |

Some of the rating problems might lie in the fact that people are ranking them on different criteria. Personally, I find it particulary hard to rate pictures. There are so many levels to rate them on. Am I rating them on the difficulty? You can tell some pictures take a lot of thought, patience and work. Am I judging them on the creative use of pieces? I love it when people think outside the box -- it is "Think" Draw after all. Is my rating based on the perfection of the piece? Sometimes it seems impossible to get something perfect because of the limitations of your pallete. Should those who reach that goal be the only ones to get 5's? So many variables! |

It's going to be very interesting to see what actually makes the top 5 in fruit. Matthew's 'lips' got 32 votes but are way down on page 10 or 11 with some other stunning pics. I can't see that the top 5 in this category is going to reflect the amount of work people have put into their pics. I hope I am pleasantly surprised, but..... |

It's preferable to your thong! |

i like all the ideas but we know who has originality by accessing recent drawings and viewing past work. them that have history have respect for their art regardless of who is new . and fear of this site getting watered down by newcomers is close minded and the last thing artists do is close their own minds. live and let live. ratings are fine opinions are too. criticism works too well both ways. |

Hmm.. I guess I've said what I thought (rather often !), so maybe it would be nice if ThinkDraw let us know if the rating system changes. |

...Well Minutes before the top 5 was posted, I had 6 of my pics voted down 'just' enough to knock them out of the top 5... (Bear with me. I am not complaining, just making a point that there is a Think Draw God of sorts). |

...I was disappointed to see kmkagle's "Long Journey Home" in animals & katw's "sunrise" in candy being voted down... |

I've actually done a bit of homework and there only seem to be 4 instances where a lower pic was in the Top 5 (but I haven't had a time to check those people that missed out altogether because of the one-vote idiot). |

I was delighted to make the top 5 with 4 pictures, but stunned at some that didn't make it, such as pollyester's Moon and Tides. There were pictures with less votes and lower ratings that did make it. I had some that I thought were better that the ones that were included, but had been voted down. |

I've been trying to not keep on about it, but..... (small sigh)... yes, I really have to agree with Matthew, marg and Luna on all this. |

There is also the other side of the coin, where some mediocre drawings get higher ratings than others that are truly superb. If TD uses their own discretion on what goes into top 5, isn't that just another vote, in a way. |

Okay: I've looked around the net and I have it. It's a bit akward so I'll jump right in. |

Puzzler: I LOVE your comment about "the amount of work". |

I guess I should say I don't really understand it either. But my husband is a math guru and I know that he can solve many a problem at work with formulas where most of us would just use trial and error. He explains it to me (with a great deal of excitement in his eyes), and I nod my head and smile, knowing HE knows what he's talking about and trusting it's right -- but ME, well I have no clue, really. |
