Well it looked good enough for a trout to eat. Fortunately for me hungry fish aren't too picky.

I agree on this one Bruce..
here are my two latest rejects. Had kind of hopes for both, especially the waterfall... oh well
and the one I posted to make up the numbers "secret garden" made it... sometimes I just don't get it.
Anyway, here are the rejects:

Thanks, all my submission are actually without frame

May be the pic is still lack of something, may be the noise is high, may be it is not taken by a Pentax lens...anyways I don't know

arpaagent · 06-24-2009, 10:39 AM

Here a few of my latest that were declined....but at least I also got one in

(to be shown in another thread...after all, these are rejects...) I'm 1 for 11 now. w00t!

Anyways, here are the rejects. These aren't the exact sizes submitted (they were 600pix high as per orders)

Leaf Fan · 06-24-2009, 11:17 AM

These two hung on for about 5 weeks before being rejected.

scatron · 06-24-2009, 12:16 PM

I've only submitted one and it was just recently rejected:

Peter,
These are considered rejects? Fro what it is worth in my book they most certainly are not rejects. Nicely done.

I think technically the OOF areas on the lower right corner is a bit distracting, otherwise it is indeed an amazing shot.

do you really mean that the cardinal shot was rejected!!! I'd be over the moon to have that in my collection.
great shot IMHO!!!

No critiscism intended but why is there so much macro on PPG? and birds? And so few 'people' shots.

BTW, this skews the judging for me. A macro or bird shot has to be outstanding to even stand a chance.

my latest rejects.

It seems I got one in, though I dont believe it deserved it as much as some other of my photos.

Edit: After taking a picture we are all automatically biased, so I was wondering what I did wrong in the above photos or what I can improve upon? Thanks
