Hi, guys!

A big cleaning of galleries has happened and I have to remind you once again:
NO SNAPS, NO MANIPS, NO "JUST PRESSED THE BUTTON", NO "I HAVE INSTALLED PHOTOSHOP", NO SELF-PHOTOS for instagram or twitter.
Just ART!
Please do not forget, that we are the group for Photography Artists, both words from cap. Be respectfull to others.


I. CRITERIAS for ART SUBMISSION.

NOT ACCEPTED
- snapshots;
- photomanips (there are a lot of special groups for those);
- photos made with a phone (I'm flying into the rage when see those. There is an instagram for those);
- law quality photos;
- overexposed or nonexposed enough photos (unless it is the mere understandable and reasonable intention);
- oversharpened or overblured shots (unless it is the mere understandable and reasonable intention);
- shots with no or poor composition;
- shots with no artistic concept (yes, it's not enough just to make a correctly exposed and composed photo - show us something breathtaking. Indeed I believe you're able);
- shots submitted to a wrong gallery.

Such photos will be deleted from galleries without warnings.

II. To be APPROVED for FEATURED Gallery the photo shall even be better what means:

1. high quality;
2. correct and reasonable exposition and composition;
3. artistic concept;
4. eyecatching.

Please do not regret if your photo was not approved. Look at it once again and ask yourself does it comply to ALL 4 criterias? Can you do better? Go and do! If you are still holly sure your shot is the best, ask a question.
