Congratulations to the winners!

Although seamless backgrounds can create one of the simplest photography setups, there were a wide variety of images that were taken for this week's episode of Critique the Community. Were the images judged fairly in your opinion? 

Congratulations to the winners of the this weeks episode. Jonathan menezes submitted the highest rated image and Felix Hernandez was chosen as the random entrant to win a free Fstoppers tutorial. I will be in touch with both of you to claim your prize. 

If you'd like to join us for the next episode, we invite you submit images which were taken with constant or hot lights HERE. This means you should not submit an image taken with flash.

Rules & Prizes

Seamless backgrounds can be used to create a wide variety of images in the studio. Do you feel like you've mastered how to use them? Put your best work in front of the community now and see what they think. 

Over the next week, we encourage you to choose your best two images taken on a seamless background and submit them in this episode of Critique the Community. We will select twenty images from the submissions to provide feedback to on video. Two entrants will win a free Fstoppers tutorial. The first will be chosen based on the highest average rated community image and the second will be chosen at random. 

The goal of these contests is to give each participant the opportunity to improve their own photography based on the helpful and encouranging feedback of others. We invite everyone to scroll through the submissions and assign them a fair number rating based on the Fstoppers rating scale. The easiest way to do this is to use your number and keypad. You can also leave comments on each image when you see a particular way the image can be improved.

So, the black and white portrait around the 38 minute mark was mine.
The expression was fully intended as it was part of a steampunk series where she also had a rifle, a sabre and some other probs to give a cool, serious look
the glasses are welders glasses which are a standard prob in steampunk photoshoots ;)

The score needs to be worked over. lol. I mean NOTHING in this should be lower than a 2 (though people have submitted things that have no right to be in this lol).

But yeah, 2 to 3 is such a big chasm, there needs to be a change to the scale.

I think they should also go through submissions and remove those that have absolutely nothing to do with the theme.

The vast majority of people voting are doing 1-2 stars under the assumption it will make their score higher, and win in the end. The rating system needs to be reworked, but I doubt it ever will.
