Being a PEG judge doesn't make one a National Geographic editor, either. I think I liked it better when photos would be rejected without comments.

Because I have nothing better to do at the moment ...
There are currently 143 images in the gallery. The most popular category is landscape, with 35 by my categorization. Next are indeed bugs and birds, 24 and 23 respectively (I'm including the snail shot as a bug). 11 portraits, 8 cityscapes, 7 flowers, 6 each sports and non-avian wildlife, and a smattering of images across other categories.
I am surprised there isn't more abstract and still life (4 and 3, respectively, by my count), as I would have thought these categories would do well with PEG judging. Of course I have no idea how many such images are submitted. Might have a go myself.

I understand the feeling. I've had a few rejections and no acceptances. Like jpzk, I was "testing the grounds" to see if some images I thought were quite good would be accepted. When they weren't, and after I finished crying into my beer :p, I took a closer look at the photos in the gallery, and also at the many instructive examples and comments about rejections in this related thread:
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/mini-challenges-games-photo-stories/12735...y-rejects.html
From this I concluded that the PEG is for images that meet a quite specific set of qualities and that there are many excellent and compelling images that will not match those qualities and hence will be rejected. I've decided to accept the PEG for what it is and I will continue to make submissions, but only images I think fit in with those qualities. I look at this as a challenge; I currently have zero images that I think meet this standard.
