What would you rate this photo?

Okay, when submitting a photo, it appears the form allows you to vote on your own mini. Does anyone not vote 10? I was voting "honestly" at first, but recently I thought, "Hey, it's my mini, and I love my mini, it's a TEN (even if it's not)".

I hope this doesn't make me a bad person.

It's really a matter of opinion I guess. I try to vote my mini on the same scale I vote everything else with. So I haven't voted anything of mine a 9 or 10. The good thing about CMON is that the masses tend to equalize the scores over time, so even one or two tens won't have a huge effect on the final outcome.

This is what I was thinking; outliers get washed in any sort of statistics. So, might as well inflate my ego and rate myself higher than I deserve. It's relatively harmless.

Unless you get someone like me who sees that 10 with only one vote, and thus votes one point lower than I would normally. But, that's just when I notice such things, mind you.

Hahaha this made so much sense to me that I deleted/resubmitted while it was still in waiting. You've made an honest man out of me, Peg.

It's my job to keep people honest.

Wait... no it isn't! You've made me do work for free!

Twarted again!

I've only done a few mini's but I always rate them as I feel they're worth. Haven't gone over a 6 yet. I would like to see my mini's get rated slowly higher over time, hopefully an indication of my developing skills.

Best be honest otherwise the gods of mini voting will get you

You will! You've the passion for it. Just don't give up, keep practicing, keep painting, and most important - have fun!

I throw about 10's like candy.

I've never voted a 10 for myself, but I did put a 9 once, when I was feeling superior.

I was brought back down to earth when the 'average' score brought it down to a 7.4...
