I submitted 10 images for starters and the first two have just been accepted. The others are still queueing for review.

It does seem to take a while for the process but I guess it being Christmas didn't help.

Voting on the other images brings up lots of interesting shots, so it's well worth having a go just for that.
Best regards, John

'Recently Added' I belive is the bit you mean It's a section in the front-end, not in the back-end where you submit photos, correct?

Hmm, It's actually the first time I've looked at that section. It's a bit depressing to see dozens of photos I voted 'no' on in there! This one is a good example, it looked like a stuffed animal in a museum to me, and the point of focus doesn't seem right.

Yes, sorry to be vague about it! It's a new pursuit for me and I've not totally got under way with it yet.

Haha yes I sure did. I'm usually quite picky when I vote, any significant flaw (tilted horizon, for instance) and I'll vote no. I generally tend to vote yes about 10-20% of the time. Yours was one of about 10 'yes's that session, along with about a hundred 'no's

About the fox I just thought there should really be some kind of disclosure. He's almost portraying it as a real fox. If it was a real fox it would be an astonishing photo. As a photo of a stuffed fox it's pretty ordinary.

I have a very simple criteria for voting on images, I ask myself "if it was mine would I have submitted it"

Similar criteria to mine Alan... I say to myself "would I be happy for that image to be on my wall"

Also like Tim mentioned above, I'm kinda picky, even on the little thing!
Cheers

Definitely a stuffed fox!
