I have a hard time rating from a photo (not to mention that I think doing so is somewhat degrading), because expression and the "inner beauty" have such a high value to me. I also like to rate the "whole woman". One thing that I have noticed is that I can see a photo of a woman in a certain dress with a certain look on her face and think that she is a near perfect 10, and then see the same model in a different pose and with different clothing and have her appear no more than a 5 or 6. However, I find that when I know the person, what ever rating I may give, taking into account their personality and all, tends to be more stable.
