Kris once told me that he thought "nice" pictures were often most favourably received by PPG. Which tells you why I've never tried to get any of mine accepted!
Best wishes,
Andrew

I am at a loss to understand that comment Andrew. PPG has usually been held up as the gold standard of Pentax photography embracing all forms from the obviously appealing to the more daring taking in all points between. The large exception seems to be any form of nudity.

Sorry but I'm on hol and dont have access to my PC, and I deleted the rejected pic from my PPG "Artist pages", not that I think I can link to that anyway.
I thought I'd posted the pic on here a while ago but cant find it, if you fancy searching the my photos topics back to around March 2008 you might find it Alternatively hang on a few days and I'll post it when I get home

No rush, if somethings not good enough for PPG then its worth waiting for. Or something like that.

Sorry to hear you have not made the grade, only seven I have just joined PPG and after trawling through my collection last night (three years worth), I was probably a bit presumptuous in applying to join. Still you are now a bona fide artist having suffered rejection, although I hope you are not homeless as well .

I've no idea either, Mike. I'm not speaking from any personal experience: I've never even looked at the site! I am at a loss to understand that comment Andrew.

The large exception seems to be any form of nudity.

I was just alluding to something someone else said in passing as a way of commiserating with "fatspider".
Best wishes,
Andrew

This is what I am referring to. You must surely understand what you yourself posted?

My piccy of the Gateshead Millenium Bridge wasn't good enough
