Am I being unreasonable to be dissappointed that these images are archived ?
I would also be sincerely grateful for any critical comments regarding their quality/faults/failures
I am not claiming or complaining that these photos SHOULD be promoted but that there are many others from many members that deserve promotion more than family photos and c-i's of 10.
I know it is petty to complain about archived images - but I do find it very discouraging when I see images with C-indexes of 10 in the Main Galleries while higher scoring New Images are passed over. Knowing I will likely invoke criticism for using my own images as examples nevertheless I do because I can not see the archived images of other members. I selected them at random.
I have taken into account that the VB is not a reliable indicator of quality, and that the AC is being tested, but it makes no sense to me that if the Voting Booth has any credibilty at all, that 10's are acceptable as Main Gallery Showcase images. None of the ones linked to were nominated for AC consideration which I also realise is a factor.
EDITED 14/09/10: I have removed the links I posted, as they are no longer relevant as examples now that the Main Gallery's' recent promotions no longer contain the less suitable images :)
