What I don't believe is that tired old saw about how a good picture will always overcome it's technical flaws. I agree with that statement as long as always is in there. While I definitely strive for technically well done images, a unique pose/action by an animal can definitely overcome some of those deficiencies.

Ah, I understand now. That isn't what I was doing, though. Rather, it was selecting material amost appropriate to the medium and the venue. I noticed years ago when viewing the PUG that some images that presented very intriguing thumbnails were disappointing when I saw the image at a larger size. Conversely, some images that didn't seem like much as thumbnails looked wonderful when seen larger. (I probably missed some excellent images when I was short of time, simply because the thumbnail didn't look promising.) And I know from personal experience that there are images which don't work well as either thumbnails or large web images but need to be seen as prints. But there are some images which have a strong graphical design elements and which also contain a lot of detail. In other words, they stand up well as thumbnails and in larger display formats. When displaying in a web-based venue where the quantity of images you can present is limited, it only makes sense to try for these best of both worlds photographs. I see this as a good way of forcing myself to up my own standards, too. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

As you say, digital images work best when they are lacking in detail and graphical in nature. If your previous images were more inclined to hold a lot of detail and subtle nuance, changing the output to more graphical appearance in order to sell more might be construed as being funding led. Ah, I understand now. That isn't what I was doing, though. Rather, it was selecting material amost appropriate to the medium and the venue. I noticed years ago when viewing the PUG that some images that presented very intriguing thumbnails were disappointing when I saw the image at a larger size. Conversely, some images that didn't seem like much as thumbnails looked wonderful when seen larger. (I probably missed some excellent images when I was short of time, simply because the thumbnail didn't look promising.) And I know from personal experience that there are images which don't work well as either thumbnails or large web images but need to be seen as prints. But there are some images which have a strong graphical design elements and which also contain a lot of detail. In other words, they stand up well as thumbnails and in larger display formats. When displaying in a web-based venue where the quantity of images you can present is limited, it only makes sense to try for these best of both worlds photographs. I see this as a good way of forcing myself to up my own standards, too. Fine if you have a good range of material to select from. I am interested as to how new photographers are, er, developing their style when the majority of their presentation (i.e.viewing on a monitor) works best in a more limited way. Combined with the rush,rush,rush mentality of modern life, where things are expected to make a dramatic impact immediately if they are to have any level of success, it seems to me that more subtle images are going to lose out. - Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Paul, In a post today, I believe it was you who mentioned a drop down menu detailing submission particulars.(?) I've emailed Pentax for such, but it may be that I'm overlooking something on their site? Jack --- Paul Stenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 46! I have to get busy. But that's a good showing.

Re: Declined...
I didn't mention that. The site includes menus for choosing lens series, lens and camera. They're incomplete but improved over a couple of weeks ago.

I'm trying to be selective, though; I'm only going with images that I think are very strong graphically, so they stand out as thumbnails as well as being good photographs when seen in detail. We'll see how it works out. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Doug, what are the image size specs? Does any specific information need to accompany the images? To what email address are they sent? Thanks!

Jack The images are not sent to an email address. You ask for an invitation, using the address I provided earlier in this thread. You are then supposed to be supplied an artist code with which to enter the site. Then everything is pretty straightforward.
