Re: pentax gallery
That makes me curious as well.

Re: pentax gallery
My thought is that the gallery has enough in it now to allow the judges to be pickier. By that I mean, if they feel a particular photo has others in the gallery already then it might get rejected. If it is something totally different of new, then it might get accepted. As an example: There are some great dragonfly shots in the gallery now and I continue to see many more great dragonfly shots submitted. I could envision the judges to be more picky about that kind of shot than some other types that are not well represented. -- Best regards, Bruce Saturday, June 7, 2008, 4:54:06 PM, you wrote: Maybe the bar isn't raised that high as before (I stopped trying for a long time).

Re: pentax gallery
Tough call on that. I had 15 in that status for about a month. All were rejected the other day by the judges and most of them used to be in the gallery before I pulled them all out. So I'm thinking that the peers accepted them and the judges didn't. -- Best regards, Bruce Sunday, June 8, 2008, 7:52:26 AM, you wrote: BM That makes me curious as well.

Re: pentax gallery
I had 3 approved in the last weeks. I tracked my photos in the recent addition category and lots of other new photos appeared (maybe 10 each week). The number/counter of new additions also varied. Didn't make notes, looks like older photos drop from that list. Anyway my observation is they are accepting many new photos and many new photos are in the same genre, sunsets, lighthouses, bugs, flowers etc. My advise keep posting they didn't raise the bar, only the input volume has exploded. It wouldn't surprise me if the judges pick one or two every day from the voting queue and if that's true luck is also important. My approvals are a little surprise to me, 2 of them are quick tests of a new lens. Others which I gave much more thought and time didn't make it.

Re: pentax gallery
Toine, When you use the term accepted, do you mean they have been accepted for review or have been accepted/approved into the Pentax Gallery? I agree it's taking quite a number of days to get a result from those which have been accepted for review. Congratulations on having work accepted for the gallery.

Re: Pentax Gallery Voting
I'm totally with you, Bruce. I have posted here before on how the voting page is programmed, and this change seems to be addressing one of my main criticisms; the total size of the webpage. Because of the way it is programmed, the page has to pre-load all the full-gallery-size images at first call. With five full-gallery-size images in landscape orientation, the voting page easily amounts to 1.5 MB. By shrinking the large pics on the voting page, they reduce load time significantly. What would have been better was to increase thumbnail size, and drop the pre-loading for an on-demand loading of the full-size images. However, this would mean a total deviation from the page design. The whole voting registration would need reprogramming. It's not a small task. :-( Jostein 2008/3/9, Bruce Dayton [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Has anyone noticed the big change in the voting mechanism. It seems that the pictures are being shrunk down below the 600 pixel size that is set for the gallery. Two issues for me: 1) picture is even smaller - makes it harder to evaluate 2) the sizing function can massacre the picture making it look much poorer than it really is. -- Best regards, Bruce -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Pentax Gallery
I'm surprised that Pigeon Point wasn't accepted. It's an exceptional shot. There have been pano shot on which I've voted no because that was identified in the beginning as reason for them to be declined. I took that as part of the voting instructions. There were some that were only slightly pano cropped that I didn't consider severe enough. I'm just offering this as a possible reason for the second shot being declined.

Re: Pentax Gallery
Hi: My two cents is that I find the kid's tongue visually distracting, my eye has to look twice to see if it's just a really large lollipop or something else. His facial expression seems to produce a sense of unease too. What am I supposed to be feeling when I look at the photo? P.

It looks to me that it's always been so. When I subscribed to Oentax Gallery (before I had any picture accepted), I already noticed that 90% of already published pictures were scenics and wildlife, hence I was a bit discouraged (not shooting such genre). However, at that time my hit rate was about 60%. I've sent them no picture of mine during the last 6 months or so.

I agree. No matter the subject, there is no question that it's much more difficult to get an image accepted now than was the case in the beginning.

My last set of submissions had a 25% success rate. 2x landscapes (both declined) http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/Misc/Images/K10D/_IGP9486_sml.jpg http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/Misc/Images/K10D/_IGP9690.jpg 1x Action/sport/people (declined) http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/PESO/images/_IGP5212.jpg 1x Nature (accepted) http://www.arach.net.au/~savage/PESO/images/_IGP2602.jpg (This one gives extra weight to Mark's thumbnail theory) The 3 that were declined were done so in only a couple of days.

Re: Pentax Gallery
Dramatic landscapes or major wildlife (600/4 territory) seem to dominate these days. Last time I looked there were around 20 images posted taken with a 600. I had a majority of them. I've recently submitted a few more taken with the 600, all were rejected. I'm beginning to think that somehow posters with a lot of accepted images are being rejected outright.

Re: Pentax Gallery
You may be right. You have submitted some great stuff and I would expect your level of submissions to be fairly consistent. If they are rejecting as you surmise, it would be good of them to let us know so that we don't waste time and bandwidth. I have always felt that the final judges should be the ones to really finalize. In essence, the peer voting would be to narrow it down to 'potential' candidates. So if there were some quite good images, they should probably make it to the final judges rather than the peer vote removing them. -- Best regards, Bruce Saturday, December 15, 2007, 12:17:37 PM, you wrote: Dramatic landscapes or major wildlife (600/4 territory) seem to dominate these days.
