[Phil Thomson IPA]

Hello,
I have just copied and pasted an email & my response re my image upload in th Exclusive gallery upload, as per below:

Dear Phil Thomson IPA,

Thanks for your submission to the Pentax Exclusive Gallery! Unfortunately, your photo did not seem to include EXIF information, or it was not taken with a Pentax, both of which are a requirement.

If you uploaded a film photo, please minimally include the following EXIF metadata:
-Camera Make
-Camera Model
-Lens Name
-Focal Length
-Date taken

If you uploaded a digital photo, please ensure that the EXIF information has not been stripped.

Please delete the old photo and re-upload an updated version, or edit the photo here Merlot Dawn - Pentax User Photo Gallery and select the exclusive gallery category to resubmit it for approval.

All the best,
PentaxForums.com

Hello,
I don't know why the EXIF Metadata is showing as being stripped, because it is still showing up on my ACDSee Pro6 program when I open that file. Plus I have supplied the in the description as per what it says on the EXIF screen as per this information:

Pentax K 5 Camera. - 4 Sec. @ f16 ISO 100
Pentax 55-300mm lens - 55mm. CPL, ND8 and GND Filters.
A RAW image edited in ACDSee Pro4.
If there is something else that I should be doing please let me know.

Cheers,

Phil Thomson.

Try uploading the file here and seeing if it shows you the exif:

If not, then the file itself doesn't have any associated meta data. Since the gallery doesn't scale files, this is most likely the case.

i have also one question regarding exclusive gallery

my photo was not accepted even that i received following score

Technique Score : 4.08 (Min: 1 Max: 6 Required: 4.1)
Creativity Score : 3.08 (Min: 1 Max: 4 Required: 2.4)

i passed required score range, just would like to ask, i am missing something here?

From what you posted here yourself, to me it looks like you passed the Creativity score, but did not pass the Technique score. I would assume that one needs to pass both scores in order to be accepted.
