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

Do you still have a number of re-submissions, Bruce?

I've found it's very hard to get a kid pic in the gallery. I've only
made it with one of hers. The blowing bubbles shot was rejected in
one day. Based on what PDML members indicated in terms of recent
accepted pics, only dramatic landscapes make the grade. I rarely
submit any more. In

suggested taking out everything but the boy - everyone else felt there
was some context to be had by leaving some of the teammates in.
Thanks for your thoughts. I am trying to figure out what is worth
submitting these days.

I may do that - my reason to ask here is to see if most people also
feel it should have been rejected or not. If most do, then it isn't
worth resubmitting and I learn something more about my photos. For
this one, I felt it was better than a quick rejection - but maybe I'm
