I had a photo accepted on the Pentax Gallery!!

Yes!! I am really happy about it but I really consider that I have submitted better shots than the one that was accepted and they have been declined. Here it is anyway. Thanks to those who voted for it also

I really like the pattern you've captured there... my first thought was "abacus".

Good shot and I did vote for it. I'm frustrated with the site right now so stopped submitting for awhile, but do like to go and vote.

i think it looks cool - really shows the abilities of the pentax lense/camera with the detail in the water droplets and the bright green foliage.

Yeah it can be disheartening can't it? I have put up the absolute best photo I have ever taken and it was declined and I stayed away for months like you did Kris but then thought I would put up a few which were technically as good as I can get. Give it another go mate - you just never know
