Fellow artists at RR, For several months now, a disturbing trend has been emerging in the ratings given to my images. Its like this... Whenever I put up any new work, people begin to visit my gallery and start to comment and vote. Initially, all goes well, with practically all comments being positive, the ratings assigned neatly following the praise given. Suddenly, the mean ratings drop from 5.00 to something like 4.96 to 4.98, indicating the existence of a very small number of people who assigned low scores, though there are no corresponding critical comments made. After a while, the mean ratings magically climb back up to 5.00 again, though just in time to miss the deadline to make it into the best rated charts. It is all so regular that I already have a pretty good idea of who is giving out the low scores. This has been going on systematically for quite a while now, following a very exact pattern that repeats itself flawlessly. It seems to be happening right now to my last work, with the ratings dropping mysteriously once the comments reach more or less to half of the 4th page. Lets see how it goes from here. The interesting things are (a) the mysteriously low ratings given, (b) the complete absence of criticism in the comments following the lower grades assigned, and (c) the strange "correction" in the ratings after it is too late to make any charts. This is upsetting not really because of the low ratings given or the exclusion from the top of the charts, for I am a big girl and can certainly take some online criticism, especially if it is positive. It is the complete lack of any comments pertaining to flaws in the work and, yet, there still being low scores given, that reeks of ill faith. Therefore, I once again ask all my visitors to please voice their negative comments if you have them. Just don't hand out deceptive praise followed by a harsh judgement in the score given. I know that the problem is stemming from just a very small number of people, most of whom I have already identified. Just so not leave anything unsaid, I wish you all a happy new year. Yours truly, Monica

What I notice is that this lady has blue eyes beaming, and an attitude as if she was dancing in the middle of her beautiful, cool environment, with lush decorations that still looks like it's Christmas there. The pigeons are a beautiful symbol, and fit very well at all. I never meddle with ratings. I'm a layman. I hope everything will be all right for you, dear Monica.

Lovely winter wonderland scene. This ought to make a great Christmas card! The only suggestion for further improvement I can think of is perhaps for the floor to be made shiny and reflective.

For me personally, I save 5 stars for something that makes me go "Wow" or really resonates with me. If I see something in particular I don't care for or think could use some work, I will say something. I've mentioned to people before, that when I say I am open to criticism I really mean it. If I like it and think it deserves a 3 or 4, I will rate it and comment that it's nice. It's not that there is something wrong with it, it just doesn't make me personally say wow. So, no need for negative comments or critiques.
