Agreed mate - I was surprised to see an excellent wallpaper with 0 rating, then realised they were all the same! I guess with art, it is difficult for people to be honest and fair at the same time. I would genuinely give Ayur's drawings a 5 for a couple of reasons - mainly because she only posted those 2 amongst all the other excellent work here, and they're both miles better than my efforts would be 
Also, she used the words "here are my efforts" - which I took to mean "I may not draw much, but here you go" - hence when I saw the quality of the work, the rating was 5
The problem comes when you have a gallery containing Ayur's kind of work, and something created by either a professional full-time artist, or someone who really ought to be professional If the piece is fantastic it should get the 5 rating, but then where does that leave Ayur's work? If I dropped my rating to a 2 or even a 3 I would feel bad, because Ayur's work is certainly worth more than that Damn I'm a wimp
I don't know if other visitors feel that way, but I certainly do I guess for truly effective ratings you need a split between professional and other artists - if only to ensure the non-professionals have every chance of scoring top-marks - only then would the rating be fair, and not cause me headaches 
lol. Not sure if it's applicable to a fansite, but you're the expert
