Personnaly, i've taken the time to put a vote for all entries (especially still frame ones), i've given from 1 star to 5 five stars. I understand this is not fun to give a bad notations, but if we are able to give a good mark we can also give bad ones, for me it's important to do not limit our judgement to what we like. I also learn a lot by analyzing what I don't like in a composition.
And like that, all pictures are rated in a balanced way according my judgement scale.
When voting for all entries, when i arrived to my own, i tried to put a note to see if this was possible, and i had an error message. regarding the note i would give myself, it's pretty easy after giving a note to a lot of picture it become mechanical to put a note to ourself ( like if it was not our own work ).
my stats if i remember well, are approximatly:
10 % of 5 stars
20 % of 4 stars
45 % of 3 stars
15 % of 2 stars
10% of 1 stars
And to answer the question, the note i was trying to give me was a 4 stars for the favourite of my own.
Yes, I would have thought that i would be more harsh with myself, but obviously i've selected some of my favourites pictures in different categories
