Originally posted by degral #1 and #5 should be eliminated for watermarking. I like #1 very much. Too bad. I pick #9. HIppie_2000 has a good point. I don't like an overly intensified or artificial looking photo unless ones profession is in advertising.
I am new here so I would like to understand this for future submissions of my own.
From the rules that I read:
>>>To avoid voting bias, please do not watermark your photos with your username (but rather with your real name or website if needed)
So neither #1 or #5 contravened this rule...there is a watermark but it seems to follow the rule above. Can you please explain your reasoning behind their elimination?
>>>Do not specifically list which photo(s) you voted for or comment on others when commenting on the voting thread
So you yourself have broken a rule, does that mean that your vote should be disallowed?
Many thanks for your clarification on this matter.
