Pentax Photo gallery ratio?
I've got four images approved now but it's taken fourteen submissions to get there. Mind you, these are all images I see as keepers. I do understand though that it's pretty much a subjective grading system. It feels good to have one's images judged and approved but I'm trying not to get too wrapped-up in it I'm just wondering what sort of in/out ratio you guys whit LOTS of approved images are seeing. I wish they'd put some quick comments in when they decline images. Even canned ones like not sharp or too much noise or even Too Orange http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artist/galleryimages/gallery_image_175549.jpgCW -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: Pentax Photo gallery ratio?
I've submitted something like 20 in total and had 14 accepted into the gallery. I suspect that given the overwhelming response they're getting more selective. I doubt mine would have made it in if it weren't for the fact that I submitted mine early.

Re: Pentax Photo gallery ratio?
I've submitted 10 and got 8 accepted, though none in premier gallery yet. Frankly, I wouldn't care about that. After all, this process is not deterministic, is it? Cheers.

Hi, I posted a message related to this thread that seem to have gotten lost in cyberlimbo...but in case, here's a repeat: I submitted a friend's portrait a while back that got declined. After looking through the gallery an idea hit me and I resubmitted *her* photo again but this time under GLAMOUR/FASHION instead of PORTRAITS ...it got accepted!

Re: Pentax Photo gallery ratio?
I had one declined with the comment; Scan too soft. That was the only explanation of those declined. In that case, I'd sent two images of the same scene which were shot under different conditions. It may have been that they simply felt like explaining they're reason for having chosen the less dramatic of the two.(?) Really haven't logged the offered vs accepted ratio. Acceptance was high in the beginning, but has dropped of dramatically. It may be partially due to the high influx of offerings and they're QC method of slowing the train. Wouldn't doubt that there would come a time when offerings would be cut off, at least for awhile.

Yes, it is really that orange. Here's another shot of it from another photographer. Oddly enough, I didn't take a photo of the whole car :) CW - Original Message - From: Maris V.

Re: Pentax Photo gallery ratio?
I'm just wondering what sort of in/out ratio you guys whit LOTS of approved images are seeing FWIW - I've had around 75% of my submitted images selected. No reason given for any image rejected. 10% of my accepted images have made it to the Premier Collection. As of a few weeks ago I was getting more rejections than earlier when the gallery first went online. I suspect the response has been somewhat more than Pentax anticipated. I too, can not see any rhyme/reason for the images they rejected. Although recently I haven't been able to add the appropriate image data to get any images submitted (when I click on enter data the web page darkens locks up - I have to cancel out of ! E 6 to free up. I emailed Pentax got a quick response that an outside firm (TextureMedia) would handle the issue. I've had further dialog with them but so far no cure for the issue. I wonder if Pentax may have given image selection duties to an outside firm also. I've give the site info out to a lot of no photographers their response has been very position as to the web presentation.
