Re: Do we need new rules in the photo competition
 

I dont think they should be changed - it is just a bit of fun.
people dont vote for pics that are good "technically" they vote for the idea behind a pic i suppose but that is good - it isnt an online art site - if it were then i would expect that people would improve their skills a little as some pics just wouldnt be accepted -
so yeah just a bit of fun!!
what i dont like is when pictures that are obviously not the poster's photos are uploaded i seem to remember one once being uploaded that had a watermark on it -which wouldnt have been there had it been their own photo but it was removed soon after.
if you enter a photo competition - even thought it is a bit of fun for gods sake at least take a photo lol

Re: Do we need new rules in the photo competition
 

So pleased by your comments here Keetah, I have voted for your photos on many occasions to no avail, because they have been imaginative, truly beautiful and very professional. Thought you may have been insulted by some of the results, but happy to see that you are not ... 'tis usually the subject isn't it and how it relates to the voter?

Haven't voted yet (on the poll), as feel shouldn't be able to vote until all entries are in, but then we might miss a few votes, as only gives us 48 hours to cast a vote, and many people may not be available to do this.

Suppose the old cliche ... 'if not broken, why mend it?' ... so will probably vote to stay with the original formula that has worked for the past 51 comps.

Ah arent you sweet - no really - I dont mind its just fun. I am lucky that I have had time to invest in a hobby that will soon be turning (partly) into a profession. I appreciate that not a lot of people have that time - but it doesnt mean that they dont have imagination x so keep it up everyone
and thanks katex x

if its just supposed to be a bit of fun, why give the mods more work by altering summat?:confused: if people forget n do not vote fer a later addition they like better, so what? its only a bit of fun, some on here question every rule they can find to question, they do a damn good thankless job, why not leave things alone until summat IS serious?:confused:

Re: Do we need new rules in the photo competition
 

The point about not opening the voting until uploads has closed can be sorted no problem.
but this will only give members 48 hours to vote.

Re: Do we need new rules in the photo competition
 

i notice some people have suggested possible changes, yet, if they voted they voted for no change, it hasnt been a problem for 51 competitions, until somebody decided to enlighten everybody to a potential slight issue, I voted no change, therefore wont be suggesting changes hence more work for the mods.

The comp I believe, originally was run over a month, if we are going to get as many fiddles as we can in, surely we should have daily competitions?:confused:

With comments like that I think you should retire to your fireproof box. :rolleyes:
