(I'll be back, starting with the top of page 3, sometime late on Wednesday 12/12/12)
Post, and I'll rank your portfolio compared to everyone else who posts.
All are welcome (though I'm ranking based on overall photo quality, not specifically whatever your contribution to the photo was). I'm also only considering non-18+ images, so don't bother posting if most of your port is nudes.
One of the problems with trying to rank portfolios is that it becomes impossible to do consistently after a while. When you're looking at the 100th portfolio, can you really remember how good the 7th portfolio you looked at was? You could have 100 tabs open and try and compare them all that way, but you'd go insane. You'd also only be comparing small thumbnails, which too often don't tell the whole story.
To solve this, I'll pick the best and worst photo in your portfolio. I'll then feed them in to my web tool. The tool will let me automatically compare each new photo against every single other photo I've previously picked, one at a time. It will show me the new photo and one of the previous ones full-size side by side which will make it very easy to decide which of the two is better. A photo receives a point every time it is chosen as 'better'. Your portfolio rank is then based on the total points your 2 photos have received so far.
Now, the ranking is still just my personal opinion, but at least it is my opinion applied fairly, consistently and accurately over time. And since the web tool shows you how I ranked all the photos, you can decide for yourself if you agree with my opinion on photo quality, and therefore decide if the ranking means something to you.
This is going Hi-tech. I am in. You know what would be interesting if you are putting up a website. How about putting everyones ranking on there side by side to compare people's opinions easily?
Interesting. Pray tell, how would you rank these famous artists from history?
Van Gogh
Pablo Picasso
Manet
Monet
Andy Warhol
Rene Magritte
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Leonardo DaVinci
Donald Judd

Best:

Obviously, since you're the first to post, you get #1! How long can you stay at number 1 though?...

Not from 1 to 10, i presume.
They'd have to have MM portfolios and post in this thread to find out...
Did you want to be ranked? Leaving you off for now.

will things be changeable if portfolios change? :p
No, to keep the ranking and scores consistent, I can't allow entries to be removed. If someone deletes a photo I chose from their portfolio, my link to it will 404, but that entry will stay in the rankings, and I'll continue to compare new entries to it (I keep a private copy of the full-size).
