I find my acceptance rate varies between 5% and 10%. But I do find it's great visual exercise to go through judging these photos and thinking about what should be done better. I often wish I could send the photographer a message like, "You're *so* close to something really good! Just crop... or use a curves adjustment... or go back in better light.." etc. Of course, it's totally impractical for them to accept comments - I can just imagine the kind of flame wars that would erupt. But I often feel the overpowering desire to offer encouragement for a promising effort rather than just clicking "no". And I think everyone should spend 5 minutes browsing through the recently accepted images before uploading their own. That's a dose of reality! -- 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.
