Re: PPG quota
Thanks for your kind remarks, Jack and Paul. Although this is one of my favorite images, I think it may have been viewed as trite. When I took the image, I had never seen photos of Peyto Lake, and I was stunned by its beauty. Since then, I have seen a number of shots taken from this precise vantage point, and they all look pretty much the same. I think that the image may have gotten enough votes, but that the Pentax reviewers might have said Ho-hum, not this again. Thanks for looking.

Re: PPG quota
Rick, You're not connecting via dialup or mobile 3G by any chance? I really don't recognise your description... I didn't join the foray until half a year after the first invitations went out. I had read a lot of bitching from many on this list over the interface, and was very skeptical to begin with. In fact, I wrote to Pentax and suggested some improvements, both on the gallery display and the voting page. A few were incorporated too, along with other changes to improve the interface speed over time. I joined in June, btw, and the beta stage ended in September 2007. Further improvements were made later that autumn, and I don't think it's that bad anymore. I may have grown used to it too, of course. Last Thursday, btw, a colleague at work praised the site's convenient interface for browsing images. Without any encouragement from me except providing the link. Jostein 2009/8/30 Rick Womer rwomer1...@yahoo.com: rant on I filled in the data form for a PPG account shortly after it opened a few years ago. Then, I read here and elsewhere about the ridiculous review system, which has only gotten more ridiculous. I tried to look at people's photos, and found the interface to be slower than an Apple II in Job's garage. Screw this, I said, and have never uploaded anything.

Re: PPG quota
Jostein, On occasion, somebody here will link to the gallery for a photo. I watch it post a gallery header page then spin up more internally. Finally, it will look like it is going to open something, but no, wait, just kidding, not yet! When a picture opens it is nice. I went thru all 100 of yours and they are beautiful (and a major accomplishment). But I'm on a high speed line in the USA suburbs and the gallery is too slow.

I submitted several more, and they were rejected, but this one remained ready for review. Today, finally, it showed up in the Declined section.

Re: PPG quota
Nothing is perfect, Rick. The Pentax Photo Gallery is a wonderful display of interesting images. It is well worth participating in. I am often frustrated when they reject one of my favorite images, or take a long time to review one, but I enjoy looking at the collection and the other entries, and I am grateful that Pentax spent the time and money to create and maintain it. We have all become used to instant gratification, but patience is still a virtue we all need from time to time.

Re: PPG quota
It seems that PPG is now limiting each submitter to 10 images UnderReview. Previously, there were ten input boxes when you went to the unload page, and you could submit more than one page (10 photos) at a time. Now, you are limited to one page. When I went to upload today, there were nine input boxes instead of the usual 10. This appears to be because I have one image that has been sitting in the Submission Complete section for several weeks, although photos I submitted at the same time or weeks later have been declined. I wasn't able to submit any new images until I had cleaned out the Declined section by deleting the photos that were still there.

Re: PPG quota
Sorta glad they're doing this. Probably won't completely discourage someone uploading 27 water droplet images, but will only make it a little less convenient.
