Well, no. That's the whole point of peer review - to winnow down the number of submissions so the judges have less to look at. That's also what many people object to - it's not a critical review process as much as it is a popularity poll. We like to think that we are better than the average photographer, and take exception to this rejection of what we consider to be good shots. We need to remember that the primary purpose of the Pentax gallery is to sell Pentax cameras, not to showcase our talent. For that purpose a shot that appeals to a large number of potential owners is the best choice, no matter what a critical minority may think. -- 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.
