I sat down and went through some of the artists work that I had Voted in the past and was trying to understand why I had voted it. This included the Bryce gallary, the Poser Gallery, the 3d max gallary and so on. I have been able to get it straight now and this how I Voted.... Since, I was and am not a pro in any of them wares or even photography, I am more or less like a child who has come to a carnival for the first time and I see things through that eye of the child. Nevertheless, I notice, I have been following a pattern while Voting. I have no fix standards set in my mind when I vote. I may have several standards for several artists. A newbie in Bryce can never be rated among the pros but then .........I Vote for the Child that has learnt to crawl........ I vote for the child that has learnt it's first walk....... I vote others for their long walk........ I vote some for their Race. They are all not the same but then, each, his own level which needs appreciation. Also, having voted once or twice, my expectations from certin artists have reached a new high and I look forward to the higher standards in future and when I see them throw another Hat in the Ring, I vote again. No, I am not saying, I am the wisest of all and follow a wise pattern. Sometimes, it's just my mood, some image may remind me of something pleasant and I vote for it. I may just be happy about something and may go happy clicking Vote for all you know. When I Vote, it is a Pat on the back for my sincere heartfelt appreciation and I may not be ranking you in a proffessional way. Some very proffessional work may go beyond my understanding and I have failed to comment even. Yes, I also wish to mention the many posts that I have never had the time to reach, I just miss them due to lack of time to view all. That is what is so special about this place... people like me can also express their appreciation in the best of way possible. My sincere thanks to many of you other than the co ordinators and moderators who have with their wisdom helped keep this place a wonderful place to learn and share. I owe you all my VOTE!!! SNAKEY
