I'm messing around with Aescetica right now.

http://theme.wordpress.com/

In the same site you can click "Find a Theme", click "Features" then click Custom Header to see which themes support a header image.

Excerpts: some themes display post excerpts by default; in the rest you truncate the posts yourself, using the more tag.

Ratings: you add them in Settings > Ratings, no matter what the theme.

There are tons of options and I always end up getting the wrong one. I am open to premium themes. Here's what I want.

Purpose: Blog
Style: Minimal
Features I must have: An image at the top of the main/blog page (like twenty-ten), a blog page that only shows excerpts of the blog so you have to click to get to read the entire blog, a rating system.

This sounds simple but I'm tired of getting it wrong. I'm not good enough at this yet. Thanks.
