Keri Harrish: This whole honesty when reviewing is NOT catching on. We are here to help eachother learn and grow. Telling someone their image is sharp when it's not, is not helpful, it's hurtful. Shameful indeed.
May 10 at 11:50PM
    davywavy: That's true.Giving a hasty assembly line review is an insult to an artist.
    May 11 at 4:19AM
    Echo7: Your totally right Keri....Shameful it is. Because 5 star has become such a standard....now when a member recieves less than 5.....its taken as an insult.

    How do you eradicate this mentality?.....you dont.

    You eradicate the pointless ranking feature within FAR. 5 Stars means nothing.

    When anyone joins this site....getting 5 stars is a great thing....getting a recognised certificate & all time best feels really good......sadly the excitment doesnt last.....as almost anyone who promotes that image enough will recieve these certificates.

    Reglardless of quality. So wheres the encouragement to post.....sure theres still some very talented members & honest reviewers.

    Its these guys i feel sorry for....spending their spare times trying to help others....help FAR with their honestly......and these guys are blown out the water by the disingenious clowns that award 5stars to everything. Devoid if quality.

    Real Shame.....your only ruining the site & making a fool of others with your ignorance & dishonesty.


    On another note.....Tiffen is in the post for you Miss Harrish =D....Check your emails. =D x

    avmurray: Everything you say is of course true, but small incidents proving the opposite happens now and again. I gave a photo 4 stars, and got a reviewing contest nomination for it. It is so much rewarding than gettting a nomination for a review with 5 or six stars. This member even tried her best to correct as much as possible after she had read my revview. Things like this keeps me going.

    Kelli Lauck: Have to agree - this is why I rarely participate in any posting or reviewing of late. I have no problem receiving a vote provided someone leaves suggestions for improvement however it's the 4 votes that give a praising review and do not offer any suggestions/criticism that irk me. One newer member is passing out quite a few of 41/2 and 4 votes but not a single one indicating a problem or suggestions to improve....ANY time I have ever given out a vote below 5, I have always offered some suggestion or "education" - that is the point, yes?!

    Cephus: Talking about honesty here reminds me of an old song that contains: "When will they ever learn? The answer is blowing in the wind."

    Giving people here honest reviews/ratings is like pissing into the wind and the results are exactly the same.

    If everything is perfect, why even write reviews?

    Flight_of_Raven: Quoting Bob Dylan reminds me that I really want my bowl... of cereal, of course!
    May 11 at 12:34PM
    Cephus: My internet gives the copyright for the song to Pete Seeger.
    May 11 at 1:11PM
    Flight_of_Raven: Well hell, Pete Seeger has the same effect!
    May 11 at 1:16PM
    Sange: Yes,Ker... it is beyond shameful at this point. I find it sickening. I get replies back with LOL Because I gave a 4.. or they make excuses on how difficult it is to shoot a particular flower. Why post an over exposed shot? Keep taking it till you get it right. The beauty of digital photography is we know right away if it came out! I URGE all of you here...if YOU think you are all that because of your fake ranking number, Go look at Echo7,Sinbackkk portfolios ... want to see CLARITY? THAT is clarity. Don is the Number One Photographer on the site.I am tired of the lies on the front page. And why any artist wants FALSE praise for BLURRY BLOWN OUT work is beyond me. The site is now Facebook rating.quality.I received many less than 5's when I joined here a year ago. It is because of those ratings I LEARNED and improved. I get several hear asking for my help and asking how I get such clarity and vivid color in my shots. I help All and that is because I was given honest reviews. Seriously You Pinocchio's who lie and tell someone their focus is pin sharp or offer an excuse for their soft focus... you help no one. I find it sad and very disturbing that anyone would want praise for anything that is not worthy of it. Sort of like stealing something rather than buying it. Wait... one can buy their way here. If we stop giving false reviews..maybe..just maybe we all can learn and get along. But it will never happen when lies are told daily here. :(
    May 11 at 3:01PM
    Flight_of_Raven: I hate to be the bro that schools you in your own heady generation of music, but you actually quoted two different songwriters here... the first half is, indeed, a product of Pete Seeger but the second half.. that's totez Bobby D!

    I also feel the need to point out that honest reviewing, admittedly with the occasional exception, doesn't result in wet pants...
    May 11 at 3:12PM
    Badger: Kev, because I'm so pedantic I feel a need to point out that it is actually 'Blowin in the Wind' and that Pete Seeger was only a co writer of Where Have All the Flowers Gone.
    May 11 at 4:22PM
    dubach: the problem is political correctness. 5 is correct, lol.
    May 22 at 4:33AM

Keri Harrish: Sh*t just got real.
May 7 at 4:12PM
    Badger: No shit!
    May 7 at 4:30PM
    Echo7: =D. Eh miss Harrish my wee friend...you still needing Tiffen? Totally forgot x
    May 7 at 4:37PM
    Keri Harrish: Would love it Mr. Lumsden :D

    I like the code speak!
    April 30 at 1:17PM
    Badger: Good grief! The way you guys spell, I think you mean GhjifghjkrgfrjkohgyuhghG, try using a dictionary next time.
    April 30 at 1:31PM

Keri Harrish: Deja vu on the front page. I thought there was a limit?
April 9 at 12:17AM
    Sange: I am getting sick of the front page! Rainbow bright makes my insides turn and yes.. the endless one posting after another.. yawn... take a week off.. front page is still same old same old..
    April 9 at 1:17AM
    donkeyoatey: supposed to be..now 7 out of 12!
    April 9 at 8:50AM
    Badger: Keri please spell that out for me, I'm not hip like most people I don't understand ERMAHGERD.
    April 9 at 1:03PM
    Keri Harrish: lol Sorry Carl, means oh my god
    April 9 at 2:13PM
    Badger: Well I'll be dipped in dog shit, I thought that was OMG, I have so much to learn still.
    April 9 at 4:58PM
    Keri Harrish: The sayings change all the time. It is hard to keep up. I do believe OMG is still widely used and quite frankly it is easier to spell.
    April 9 at 5:20PM
    Skyangel02: OMG is less letters than "oh my god" but ERMAHGERD is more so why bother with it?
    I am convinced the gods are crazy. ;-)
    As for limits on the FP. Obviously some people have an unlimited supply of $$$.
    April 9 at 10:28PM
    Keri Harrish: I don't know why Sky. I guess today I just had more time on my hands to type the extra letters :) I want to join the unlimited funds club! Where do I sign up?
    April 9 at 11:26PM
    Skyangel02: I think you need to be invited into it and only the rich are invited. ;-) It's a very exclusive club.
    Posting a lot of generalized comments and telling all the people on the front page their work is excellent is a fast way to earn member dollars without even looking at their work properly. That's what many members do. That's why most average pictures get five star ratings.


    April 9 at 11:39PM

Keri Harrish: ***yawn***
April 5 at 12:43AM
    Sinbackkk: Ditto Keri! Where have all the fun ones gone. This is what happens when you let "serious artists" take over. Where is Carl? Last I heard he was being stalked by a crazed hairdresser from England.
    April 5 at 8:13AM
    Badger: Surf was up today so I went for a paradangle over the skys of Hampshire instead of hiding my nose in teachers notes for the history national curriculum and trying to remember how to structure a lesson plan. Oh well, there's always tomorrow but tonight there's Aberlour - bring it on!
    April 5 at 2:23PM
    Keri Harrish: Ahhh, nice to read your guy's writings! Much better lol
    April 5 at 2:43PM
    Sinbackkk: That's great news Carl. It's good to know the geriatric members here are keeping themselves both physically and intellectually active. My day consisted of a long bike ride, a two hour kayak trip in rough waters, (which I never took,) though I did read two old copies of Mad Magazine. Bear in mind, Scotch has very few vitamins, hence the need to drink copious amounts. Cheers, this one's for you.
    April 5 at 6:51PM
    marlak25: I am fun!(smile) I might be a newbe, but I am fun!
    April 6 at 2:57AM
    Badger: It is deeply touching if not a little effeminate of you to show concern about my recommended daily allowances Mr Ed.
    April 6 at 10:52AM

Keri Harrish: Who let the crazies out?
January 16 at 12:37AM
    Cephus: Been here a long time.

Keri Harrish: Some days the profile thoughts are better than others...
January 7 at 11:57PM
    Flight_of_Raven: My facebook feed's been having a rough day as well. I mean, really, who cares about college football?
    January 8 at 12:41AM
    Keri Harrish: Foot food? Your facebook sounds wicked!
    January 8 at 1:02AM
    avmurray: Some days OUR thoughts are better than others....
    January 8 at 8:23AM
    Keri Harrish: Some days I don't think :-/
    January 8 at 1:24PM

Keri Harrish: I cannot believe I shaved my legs for this.
January 6 at 12:55AM
    Kelli Lauck: BAAAHHHAAAAAHHHAAA LOL Keri - you are a mess....
    January 6 at 12:57AM
    Keri Harrish: I know right? The older I get the worse I become. :)
    January 6 at 2:12AM
    Art images by lois: I had a total makeover and shaved my legs. Lol. you are to funny.
    January 6 at 10:34AM
    donkeyoatey: I NEVER shave MY legs....
    January 6 at 11:38AM
    Echo7: Well you should Mike. I still have a rash on my leg from our last Kayak trip
    January 6 at 11:46AM
    donkeyoatey: LOL! That was from my dog!!
    January 6 at 5:55PM
    Badger: My good lady has been shaving her legs and ladies bits for years but knowing I like her to be as smooth as a Teddy Pendergrass album she changed to hair removal cream. So when she pointed out that it was looking like Bin Laden was hiding inside my underpants I naturally decided to give the three piece suite a spring clean with her cream.

    Being a bloke I naturally discarded the instructions (what man needs telling how to apply a cream?), gave my perenium a liberal application and sat down to play a few rounds of Quake while the cream worked it's magic.

    BIG MISTAKE.

    It felt cool and creamy at first, I was even enjoying the pleasant tingling around the chocolate starfish a few minutes later but very soon I was in complete agony and experiencing a burning sensation that could not have been worse had a Strog Heavy Hover Tank made a direct hit on my groin area with a Plasma Ball. I sprinted to the kitchen and immersed my groin in a tub of ice cream while I hobbled to the garage and reached for the pressure washer. I'm not sure I would recommend 500 psi of water for more than 30 seconds in the normal course of events but it did prove most effective at removing the cream.

    The net result is that my meat and veg now look very much like a day old baby bird with alopecia and since giving the wife re-frozen tootie fruity ice cream for tea her moustache is gone.

    The nurses in the A&E department haven't laughed so much since I had the accident with the vacuum cleaner whilst doing the housework in the nude and careful retrospective examination of the instructions reveals that the cream was used to cool Fukushima.

    It's Gillette all the way for me from now on!
    January 7 at 1:21PM
    Keri Harrish: LMFAO! Seriously FUNNY! Perhaps waxing may be more suitable to you, Badger? OMG I'm busting a gut here!
    January 7 at 2:30PM

Keri Harrish: Sure sucks when contest rules aren't followed by all.
November 30 at 5:59PM
    MGTF Blue: Yes, especially those who vote for images that don't conform.
    November 30 at 6:13PM
    Keri Harrish: Yep that's another problem too.
    November 30 at 8:58PM
    the rhatzz: Yes I agree. This site should do something about it. And I point the finger of Blame at the voters. Art that is like a photo does not nessasary make the best art.
    December 2 at 2:00AM
    Keri Harrish: I'm on another site and when I start a contest, I have the ability to remove those images that do not meet the requirements that I have set. It would be nice if members who create contests here could have the same sort of ability.
    December 2 at 3:15AM
    Badger: FAR has that ability, it's just a shame they don't react when members point out flawed entries to them, especially as they have the affront to charge us $5.95 to host a competition.

    The voting in the recent 'politicians' contest was a complete joke. It is not unreasonable to expect FAR to be proactive when it hosts members comps, is it?
    December 2 at 6:00AM
    Keri Harrish: That's true, the site has that ability and it is a shame. I don't think it's an unreasonable expectation at all for members to request a fair contest and maybe even to read the contest criteria before voting.
    December 2 at 12:26PM

Keri Harrish: Got through Monday, barely. Have a funny feeling this is gonna be a long week.
November 27 at 12:31AM
    Kelli Lauck: ya - i know what you mean....
    November 27 at 12:33AM
    Keri Harrish: Glad it's not just me : /
    November 27 at 12:37AM
    Happy Snappy: No it's not just you :)
    November 27 at 7:01AM
    Sange: Nope... it is Naked Tuesday at the dental office today.. we find it calms the patients down..plus easier clean up after surgical procedures.... but our Butts are dragging!
    Friday seems BARELY near.... sigh..
    November 27 at 1:19PM
    Keri Harrish: Naked Tuesday? Patients? Butts? Sounds saucy lol
    November 27 at 3:01PM
    Sange: Tomorrow.. well that is when we kick it up a notch.. it is Topless Wednesday! You have not lived until you experience
    Topless Wednesday with the seniors in FL!
    Again.. puts everyone at ease .. really it's a gas! Lol...
    November 27 at 4:19PM

Keri Harrish: Well then...
November 17 at 9:21PM
    Badger: Yes indeed.
    November 17 at 10:13PM
    webster: I don't believe a word of it
    November 17 at 10:19PM
    Sinbackkk: Seriously? What about ME!

    November 19 at 12:37PM

Keri Harrish: If loving Cap'N Crunch is wrong then I don't wanna be right.
November 16 at 2:42AM
    Sange: You are not wrong.. you are just not Right!
    And I raise your captain crunch to Quisp!
    November 16 at 9:37AM
    donkeyoatey: I like peanut butter captain crunch..but my wife won;t let me eat it..something about not healthy..sigh..I LIKE sugar!
    November 16 at 10:22AM
    Keri Harrish: Offer to get the groceries donkeyoatey, the make your purchase :)

    Sange, nothing beats the captain!
    November 16 at 1:20PM
    Sange: Ok.... you take the captain... I will deal with the Martian! Quisp! We can agree to disagree! Lol..
    November 16 at 1:31PM

Keri Harrish: A color work is WINNING the black and white celeb portrait contest??? Is this serious?
November 2 at 9:54PM
    Skyangel02: Obviously the colored one loses points for color but gains them for everything else where the rest lose them. If it was not the best, it would not win the votes.
    The contest organizer could have disqualified it for color but they did not.
    The artist could also have changed it to monotone in post processing but they also did not. If they did they might very well have received more votes than they already have.
    November 2 at 10:20PM
    Keri Harrish: Bottom line is it does not meet the criteria. It's unfortunate that the voters don't read what the contest is about before they vote.
    November 2 at 11:22PM
    Sange: I saw that Ker, It really bothers me that NO ONE READS!
    November 3 at 12:01AM
    Happy Snappy: What bugs me is they don't read and if voting on something but you don't understand then maybe a bit of research first? But this time it beggars belief as the description is actually in title! I would be a bit miffed if I was in that contest as everyone else stuck to rules and maybe their entry would have been better enhanced with a touch of colour too?
    November 3 at 7:22AM
    MGTF Blue: I agree that it is stupid, mine was the comment stating that I like the Keith Richard picture but thought that it wasn't B&W (so didn't vote for it)
    November 3 at 8:36AM

Keri Harrish: I'd kill for 2 oreos right now...
October 7 at 2:20AM
    Cyeseye: Yikes. Honey hide the oreos and chamber a round. We might have company. LOL
    October 8 at 4:02PM
    Keri Harrish: If they're double stuffed, you're in trouble...
    October 8 at 9:32PM
    Sange: Okay... I like chocolate cream oreos! Yum!
    October 8 at 9:41PM
    Sange: Can we have milk in our RED Solo cups? If so... I am on my way...;)
    October 9 at 3:49PM
    Sange: 0^0... peeks in.. is she back yet?? Sigh... Sange walks over to camp fire... bag of mallows... bar of Chocolate.. box of Grahams... bundle of sticks she found UP and AROUND Far!.. goes to log..... sits..... waits.....
    October 20 at 12:54PM
    Sange: OH SNAP! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KERI!!WOOOO HOOOO!
    October 30 at 12:09AM
