Many thanks, Brian!
I'm pretty sure I won't get too discouraged by the inevitable
rejections. A big part of the reason that I post PESO's is simply to
make sure I'm being objective. Even when I really, really like a shot,
I tend not to trust my judgment. So, I post them here to see what
others might see that I don't. And, like the proverbial dawn hanging
has a way of focusing the mind, uploading an image and posting the link
to PDML has a way of making you keenly aware of every tiny flaw in an
image the moment it's too late to cancel the send.
And, at least 95% of the time when I get suggestions or criticism on a
shot, it's something I agree with -- in many cases noticed myself, but
wanted confirmation of it from objective eyeballs. Whatever makes me a
better photographer is worth any ego-bruising I might suffer in the process.
Thanks again!

Hi all!
Just wanted to strut a little as I've discovered that my first
submission to the Pentax Gallery was accepted!
http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/home#section=ARTIST&subSection=10741172&subSubSection=10941445&language=EN
:-))))
I didn't think I'd be this happy about it. But, things just seem to be
going my way the past few days!
Well done, Walt. Certainly an image worthy of inclusion. I don't
recall seeing it before.
The trick to the PPG is to not get discouraged when (not if) images you
really like get rejected. Just shrug and move on (actually, if you
really, really think an image should have been selected, you can submit
it again - sometimes it will get through on the second try, which just
happened to one of mine...)
Cheers
Brian
