OTOH a couple of weeks ago I had a browse of the "premiere" images and,
WOW - lots of outstanding stuff and by no means (just) the
"oversaturated landscapes". I've scratched my head over what
was accepted of mine and what rejected that I thought was better than
the acceptees. Just look at it for what it is, another op to
get your work seen by a wider audience... and the new format is much
better, too.

Which pretty much validates my original hesitation in bothering to
submit to the PPG. Kinda reduces it to the level of Flickr.

I like it, but I can see how a silhouette might be rejected without much
thought on the part of critiquers. Remember, many of the photographer judges
are shooters of minimal to modest experience. Anything that's a departure from
the norm is likely to fail in the peer judging.

I'm not sure what we can learn from this, but last week I submitted my
shot that was exhibited at the curated Chicago Scharpenberg Gallery in
2010, "PDML Augenblick". It was rejected by the PPG in 4 days.
(It's this one: http://500px.com/photo/1422532 )
I'm going to resubmit it just for grins, but I was rather taken aback
by that. Maybe it would help if I HDR'ed it first?

The Pentax Photo Gallery appears to be up to date.
I spent some time last night voting on images, and the ran out of
images to show me!
I recently submitted some new images, and they were all rejected -- in
two days! I never expect everyone to like what I do, but neither did
I anticipate such a bum's rush!
Either the voters are getting pickier again, or Pentax is reviewing
the images more closely than a month or so ago.
