Photo reviews

[Rockheart]

If people want to discuss some pictures, whats the big deal?
I have had my photography insulted by almost everyone in this thread and I am not taking it bad.
If you don't like the idea, don't participate.
You intention is known, i do not get the rest, take in private.

I see no where where hate or attacks were part of this thread.
At no point was anyone originally insulted.
The hate is being forced on this thread.

If you don't like threads or posts, then don't read them
There is alot of people on this board and you are not going to like all of them.

Are photos not already reviewed? When a girl has new photos does she not put them in the discussion of T-Girls part of the forum and people comment on them already? I don`t see the problem of having a area for this to be done in. I know some people are more photogenic then others, but if you want people to comment on them what could be the problem. I must say one of my favorite pictures that is on the forum was done with a camera phone but she is a gorgeous girl who couldn`t take a bad picture if she tried. It is done in the bathroom mirror of a hotel room and I think it is just stunning. I don`t understand Sunshine...I have seen you post your pictures which got great reviews as while they should.

You are right, however it is voluntary when they post their new pics.

In this case it was perhaps not voluntary.

You are right the quality of the picture does not mean it is not sexy.
Some of the hottest shemale pics out there are homemade grainy ones.

However the true beauty only shows up on the studio type photography usually.
Some girls like quantity over quality.
One thing I have noticed about tgirls is that they usually like to constantly take pictures of themselves.

Before the thread got derailed, I was going to suggest that I could possibly create some type of "hot or not" system.
Then the girls could volunteer their pictures as they like.
Maybe could have various forms of ratings so that you could essentially rate all photos to each other on a scale.
If you had several categories then averaged them it would be fair.

sexiness
beauty
quality
poses
wardrobe
originality
lighting

So an expensive studio shot would rank much higher in quality, beauty, and lighting.
Where an amateur photo might rank higher on sexiness, originality and wardrobe.
For example.

I hesitate to add this type of functionality to Shemale Canada since it is better kept more generic without comments and ratings.
Here is a little different with the reviews and some girls seeking validation and good words.
Problem is that many cannot take the bad words.

The biggest problem here is where it could get nasty.
If some think a certain individual is unattractive, they may not be able to separate that from the other qualities of the photo.
If you think the model sucks you may often give low grades across the board.
However you could have studio quality photography, nice wardrobe and sexiness, but the model is gawd awful.
Still when judged properly these photos should still rate.

As far as videos go there is already the ability to upload videos to the tube section here and rank and comment on them.
If any ladies have trouble uploading videos please contact me.

Making a mock review is impossible as there are too many variables to consider. After much consideration I think that this idea just wouldn't go as planned, most likely it would lead to what the reviewer says being either taken out of context or misunderstood only leading to chaos especially if there were comments made not about the style of photo but just of the model. I can envision the backlash as I type with the conflicting personalities here at the site. Also I feel that if this was implemented most people wouldn't write them anyway for fear that they may have said something wrong when in reality they didn't.

The fact remains though that there is a concern people have of how some girls choose the quick cell snap shot or web cam shot in comparison to a high quality studio pic. Perhaps people might want to talk about that topic if they wish but as for the photo review idea I'll give up on it

Sorry folks! I am very dense today

Wow, my perception of what was intended when Rantsalot suggested that the forum might include "photo reviews" was totally wrong!! Only after cobbler chimed in did Rantsalots intent sink in!

The thought had never crossed my mind that it was to simply be a photographic review, not a review of an escort with photos included!

I can see too, that by inviting member's criticism of the photos it could lead some types of individuals to post the unsavoury kinds of comments that Sunshine has previously alluded to.

your idea has merit - don't give up

I got angry because of comments about me (my best friend) Dan Calgary. It had nothing to do with Rantsalot's idea. You and many others have the talent to help the girls with their photos. You should do it. But I think you should do it in private to avoid the debacle that is sure to result if it is open game for anyone to say anything about anyone under the guise of an artistic review of pictures.

I'm not happy to hear anything about me from (my best friend). We are not best friends and there is much more to this attack that I have not revealed here. I don't want to hear my name come out of his mouth - we aren't friends and we'll never be friends. I don't need friends like that. He has been calling the police and saying I do incalls. What I do is not his business.

Yes it was the most horrible of comments.

He said you had good videos.
