Well, I'm kind of a regular lurker, occasional poster, Marketplace user and avid supporter of PF. I am really not part of any of the established social circles here on the board, so at the risk of barging into a discussion I don't belong in, I feel compelled to say something.
I am not going to criticize Adam, because it's his board at the end of the day and he can do whatever he wants. If anybody doesn't like the PEG or the way it is moderated, don't participate and don't look at it. I really like some of the images that are known to be rejected and I don't care for some of the images that were included, isn't that nature of the beast? No one is served by continuing to argue over the criteria, and someone is going to become offended over something that at the end of the day isn't really that important.
Any one of us can go create our own gallery, call it the Class A Gallery or something, ask for submissions and use whatever criteria we might want to select images for inclusion.

I don't have any idea how to evaluate a photograph, but I find this to be an absolutely astounding image. |

I think this is getting blown way out of proportion. Copying an image that was made public on the Internet to your local computer for the purpose of viewing it is not an infringement of copyright. Whether I explicitly right-click it or my browser saves it in my cache, it is still copied to my computer. Why is one okay and the other isn't? What is the difference between the right-click => save and using finder to pick it out of the browser cache folder?
I think the purpose of copyright law is to prevent the commercial exploitation of work without permission. You have actually addressed your own concern in your second paragraph, that is, most images posted and downloaded are of insufficient resolution to exploit anyway.

I think the user can always remove them if that is the case, yes?

With regard to selection, I don't have a problem with the staff being the judge and jury, but if I submitted an image and had it rejected I would love to know the reasoning for it. Is there any possibility of providing some kind of feedback like that? It could even be very generic, like technical problems (blown highlights, poor color) to just not interesting, but for those of us interested in getting better, it'd be great to know where we're falling down.
