This is a review site, but if you give someone negative feedback they complain about you to the "Management" and they side with the person that is getting the negative feedback, rather than the person that is giving the feedback. There are a LOT of amateur photographers that just want their egos boosted with comments like "Great photo" and "Wow!" when the photos that they are actually posting are shockingly bad. Don't get me wrong, I don't attack someone's photo and just say the negative things about it, I try to find something good about it and say that too, as if we just slated people's rubbish work they would not improve and give up. I agree with what people have said as well about having to pay to get your photos near the top of the chart all the time, which is really just a popularity competition with the people that do this all the time. There are paid competitions where you can win cash, but this will never happen if you don't spend stupid amounts of cash creeping to the other members photos and making yourself look good. I know that as I had a few complaints against me to the "Management" that my photos in the competitions where you can win cash that they judge, instantly get dismissed. I'm not being bitter, but the ones that win this are the ones that line their pockets with cash and just give positive feedback. I've just jumped ship after a little while of being on there, and I will not look back. I just hope that people read this review and steer clear of the site and don't put yourself through the hassle and grief.

Its a JOKE
June 14, 2017

It's a place where you are supposed to critique peoples art and photography and rate it so they can win "cash" which is actually credit so they can promote their work and get more views-If you do post a critique you are going to get harangued by their fan club-one woman who took snapshots of birds that any one could take was always at the top of the list-that's not all at the time I was a member there was a gand of pub crawler thugs who would team up on people and try to intimidate them and get them to quit so the leader of the pack could win his contests-when this was pointed out to the management they sided with the bullies-those member dollars speak loudly-I managed to FAIRLY beat him out in a digital art contest and then I was the target of even more bullying and vile hate messages so I got out of there-its a vanity site, pay for position hoax-save your money for art supplies or post your work on a free portfolio site-even art groups on Facebook are better than this outfit

I joined this site and THEN I found out that it was "pay to play" all the way! Some of the most TERRIBLE art makes it to the top of the ladder simply because people are paying for more "views" of their art and the more your pay, the more you get seen, the more chances at votes you get. So unless you are rich and you don't care about the TRUE merit of your work, AVOID JOINING THIS SITE.
