| Well I don't think a bkrnd/font should make or break an image but it is part of the whole presentation. Surely a well know photographer would not choose terrible colors as part of a display for the works they would hang in a gallery..and surely if the photog chose gross colors, the gallery owner or some one else would surely say "Ummm nope don't do it"..right? lol. Just as with photoshopping, nothing is going to matter if the image is not quality to begin with and that is what I try and judge by.. I have not seen a terrible dispay as of yet but I have seen an image which I felt would be better suited by an alternate color scheme,,did not take off for it but did leave that comment. I am sure it is possible to have a scheme that might warrant a deduction though..jmo

Last week Joanna(kiwi) messaged me to let me know that one of my image's background was very bright, and actually it did ruined the presentation of that image over all. I checked that out and found it to be true, so I immediately changed it, but she didn't voted low on that one. It was really nice of her to do that.

Wonderful thoughts everyone!! I actually agree with most of them!  I too, have seen some pretty wild background/text colors, but didn't score down the image because of it. Although I understand the presentation aspect, the bg/text colors don't make or break the image, for me. I was just curious how everyone else dealt with the colors and colours

Sherry - you're one of the secret Gems of DA and that go a whole way to helping it be extra special to a great number of people!!! I'd go as far as to say you are a model member and the type of person many of us have to aspire to!!
I believe that you're one of the most honest and consistant voters on the site - you never complain about scores recieved and you consistantly upload quality images that many of us greatly appreciate! You're a credit to yourself Sherry!!!
I remember seeing you praising the standard award winners on several occasions on the forum - it was the first I'd seen such a thing since I joined and it was heartwarming! I've only seen a few others since (Tonka - another Model member!) - I reckon I could only name ten or less members of DA that invigorate a person enough to try and become part of DA - you're very much one of them!!
(For the sceptical - no she doesn't score all my images high - far from it!  But they are very much honest and I believe on the whole an accurate reflection of an image - if Sherry scores your image with a 6.... then it probably is a 6!!
If she scores it higher then you can bet that others will too because she really does recognise the difference between a good and not-so-good image! She's totally balanced and consistant and none of us could wish for a more accurate reflection on our images!)
Praise to you Sherry!!
If you want the rainbow - you gotta put up with the rain.
A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel sooooo good!

Sherry voted an 8 on my "Shadow Play" image. you know, the one that you thought was rubbish.

| You also left me a nice comment too, but of course it was a paid testimonial.
