:bulletyellow: Photos must have some artistic value to it, which is why random snap shots are not going to be accepted. (Subject matter is a the difference between just a photo and an amazing photo.)

FAQ

Why was I declined Membership?
We don't often decline memberships, but if we see that you have no deviations we might decline it.

Why was my work declined?
This has been the hardest thing to do, declining work, this group strives to show the best of our members and for this we have certain guidelines. We don't put these in to be unfair or unjust, we are only trying to find the best work. We don' want to clog the gallery with works that may not be your best.
Also feel free to ask in the comment section of the work submitted box thingy if you think we have declined your by mistake.

What are these guidelines then?
We have a few things that we deem unacceptable for this group. We don't want to see things that are extremely comon, like nature don't be offened if we decline an average flower, we see many flowers submitted and some of them are just average shots, we want to see you put more into it take the flower and make it more like macro it, take from different angles, etc. We don't like seeing much of the same thing so try not to submit another photo from the same series of photos. We don't accept photos that are to blur (not from intentional blur) or photos that extreme noise (take from a low quailty camera or cellphone), we as asked that you don't submit random snapshots, this isn't a snapshot gallery this is an artsty one. We do accept staged photography but make sure it is artsy.

Do you accept gore and nudity?
This is a testy subject, I know many groups don't allow either, but our group does allow to a certain extent. We don't mind if you submit gore, but please don't submit hate work or racist. When in comes to nudity, we do accept some, we don't however accept pornographic works or works we feel are high unaccepted base on them be rather degrating.

Do you accept photomanipulations or mixed media?
No we don't! This is a photography club so digital works have no place here, there are many groups out there that deal with digital art so join them if you do photomanip not here.

Why has no one commented on why my work was declined?
The reason is mainly because the photos submit don't meet our guidelines, which you are meant to read before submitting, and the other reason is most of are not use to doing it cause we are still fairly new to this. That why this FAQ has been brought in. If you have read through here and still don't have an answer then only then ask us. We will try to answer the best we can but please don't get upset with us. We all have different standards of what we think is acceptable, and that is why we have a voting system of 3 votes.

I joined as a co-founder or contributer why was declined or just moved to member?
We aren't accepting co-founders. We have to decide on exeperience to see if you are acceptable to be a contributer. If you aren't deem as either then you are just going to be added as a member.
