Thanks to that informed us about [link] it is now possible to have a mechanical assesment of aesthetical value of shots. Isn't that great ? At last, for me, it is utterly funny and intringuing.
I played with it, trying to get the highest and lowest score possible ( for now my higher score is 98,1 and my lower 5,7, but I will work on it ).

So it gave me the idea of a fun contest : trying to approach scores as close as possible to 99 and 0.

There it is, I proudly present THE MINIMAX CONTEST.

How it work ? You go to the site [link] and test your shots with a photo you download, a small one will do (600 pix wide is decent size). Dont cheat and rate the shot, since it will change the scoring next time.
When you are satified with your score, high and low, upload them to your gallery and note me with a thumb of both shots and stating how they scored.

RULES

Only photography as stated by the site and respect the rules of the site about property and non-offensive photos.

You can test as many shots as you like but you enter the contest only once, with a pair : your highest score and your lowest score.
Shots can be new or old, but your own only.
Please fav the news and put a link to the contest page in your artist comment to make the contest visible.

STARTING : as soon as I figure how to post a news !
STOPING : when we have an outstanding winner, or drop the matter with lack of interest, whatever comes first

JUGING : by the Acquine machine only but I will test too and will not accept entries that are accompanied by a false rating. The rank will be given by the difference between higher and lowest score. The more difference the better.
