Topic: Group Announcements & Discussions / [Guidelines (rev Feb '08)] Group information and Guidelines

This in an open group – anyone can join. We don’t decide who can join and who can’t, so if you opt to join, you get to join.

Joining doesn’t automatically mean work is accepted though. I’ve had a quick peek at your gallery, and I think you have some work that is suitable, though as a host, I can’t really tell you what to sumbit. Generally we don’t have time to go through people’s galleries on an individual basis and tell them what to submit – we just haven’t the time.

Read the post above by Mike, and edited by Mark – though our guidelines really are somewhat subjective, it might help you. If you need more help than that, please bmail me directly and I’ll try my best to help you out sometime this week. I have some other comittments that I must meet, but I’ll do my best.

I notice in your gallery you have one work (yellows and blues, sort of abstract) that you indicate was all done with photoshop – an image like that, though it’s wonderful (it’s one of my favourite’s from your gallery) would not fall within the guidelines here because of the photoshopping.

I must ask, If you refuse to accept any of my work, why was I allowed to join in the first place. Please, if any of my work is not worthy, let me know so i wont keep wasting my time on this group!

Work is never accepted because of something an artist does – it is accepted or rejected on it’s own merit, so if some work was accepted it was because it deserved to be, not because you wrote an article.

Somehow many works get rejected because the managers of the group are overloaded.

Sometimes works get rejected because members ignore the ‘one per day’ rule. We don’t reject works purely to reduce the number of images awaiting a decision. (Actually, most days some works are rejected because of members ignoring the rules.)

I too have had works rejected by this group, that others have thought had merit. I wrote an article on works of art and critiques. Then the work was accepted. Somehow many works get rejected because the managers of the group are overloaded. Go asj Mark German just what he thinks, however be nice. Abuse does not get flies but sugar does.
On this note it is a great picture and if you hand held the camera as you said I only wish I could do as well.

You might want to see if your work would fit well Here

Topic: Group Announcements & Discussions / Rejected eh.

If you come back and ask your question with manners and respect, you’ll get an answer from me.

Until then – See you later.

Rejected as fine art; no kidding?
Really, you set out to take a picture in low light of fast moving objects with out a tripod?
It seems you where unprepared for the shoot. [when you climb to over 2500m above sea level and have nothing bigger than a football to brace against link you can lament about not having a tripod] You didn’t move to a point of view where the sun set would uniformly illuminate the horizon, you didn’t crop out the distracting element of that ticket booth or whatever that thing is at the right side of the frame is.
No; none of this makes the other images of the fine art group ” Shite” or “ridiculous”.
congradulations on the Microsoft deal the image will join thousands of others in a bin, the tax reciept will no doubt improve their bottom line.

Topic: Group Announcements & Discussions / Rejected eh.

I’ve had things rejected because I’ve submitted more than the daily quota…. this is a generic ‘rejection’.....take a deep breath…:))) and perhaps try again in a few days.
Good Luck!! the shot is gorgeous!

I don’t see that there is any reason to describe the accepted (I presume you did mean accepted rather than excepted) works as “shite” and “ridiculous”. Why do you fell the need to denigrate the photographic works of other Redbubble users, just because you didn’t get something you wanted? Your post suggests you’re leaving the group. Goodbye!!!

Well, I’m no expert either, but here’s what I have to say to you Keith.
I belong to this group just for the joy of looking at great photography and perhaps learning something new. I never submitted anything here because… I don’t think I’m that good.

I’m sure, everybody worked on their photos at least at hard as you did….
so, what the hell is this, my friend? :

“..The shite that is excepted is ridiculous yet you turn away straight night shot…”

..there’s really no need for that here. Throw some jokes, throw some humor, or even throw some “fucks” here and there if you like, but do it with some witt !
I saw your photo, it’s great, so relax my friend, you have nothing to warry about. Oh, by the way, maybe you should submit it to a Critique Forum and let the “Black Knight” look at it, that would be worth watching.

Topic: Group Announcements & Discussions / Rejected eh.

I’m no expert – but I think this is fantastic!

Topic: Group Announcements & Discussions / Rejected eh.

Oh yeah incidentally I recently sold this piece to the Microsoft fine art collection..

You are kidding me, seriously….

“Spin” was not accepted into the The Fine Art of Photography group about 2 hours ago. The reason was: “We think elements of it could be improved. These may be issues with composition or framing, excessive noise or soft focus, or excessive post-production. However, we encourage you to contribute other work to the group.”

I will leave you guys to it, The shite that is excepted is ridiculous yet you turn away a straight night shot of precise focus and composition with not a hint of noise. Would like to see one of ye guys take a shot of a moving carousel at night with 100 iso, a 10.5 lens and no tripod.

good luck to ya.

I’ve realised that this is in the wrong place. I’m heading off to this area now…sorry mods.
