adampl - Jun, 20 2008 05:06am According to two votes it's spam??!! I'm just wondering if members, who rated this picture 1 star are decent enough to reveal their names and justify their grades. I think grading shouldn't be anonymous. It's even more sad (for the whole community I think) that we have members here who deliberately downgrade (maybe also upgrade but their own) pictures. Interestingly all the pictures I recently added have been downgraded. geri - Jun, 20 2008 06:06am I can't believe that there are people who to such an extent belittle the phorographer's work. krisek - Jun, 20 2008 10:06am I agree. Basia recently confessed to me that as soon as she got the MOM, her photos dropped in the overall ranking quite dramatically, indicating that certain member(s) might have rated her pictures low due to ... envy? Let;s see how the open voting works. marianne - Jun, 20 2008 10:06am amazing, how did you protect your camera? rangutan - Jun, 20 2008 01:06pm I treasure photography from remote places. This is our first of "M'hamid", thanks! [4.2] adampl - Jun, 21 2008 06:06pm Marianne, I just took this picture from inside a restaurant. But nevertheless the sand was everywhere.
