Originally posted by borno I think mike's right, I've had some just go right into the declined section right away- the judges didn't work that fast before the voting. looking at some of the submissions (these are the ones voting on your pics) it's no wonder some really good photos are rejected along with some really bad ones.
Major topic of discussion on another Pentax forum as well.
We have found if a photo is declined unusually quick, its a fluke, and we have been told to resubmit.
I would resubmit your quickly declined photo.
Four out of five that i submitted at the beginning of the website, made it. Every one i have submited since voting has been allowed, have not. It seems 7-9 days is about average between my submitting and declined.
Its discouraging, but you get what you pay for.
The four are under my name, Dave Brooks
