After reading about the Pentax Photo Gallery here I thought I'd give it a go, so I submitted twenty photos. The first four were rejected, so I was a bit surprised to find the next five have gone in. The others are still under review. There are some stunning photos in that gallery so I'm pleased to be in esteemed company.

However, there is a darker side to this gallery, which I suppose is the point. After having looked at the shots taken with the DA*50-135 I need one badly. The only barrier to me getting one is that I am unable to get SRS to take my money, which may not be a bad thing for my marriage.

Congratulations, I must give this a go myself. I particularly liked the two b&w shot, they have a nice narrative feel.

Congratulations! I sent them four pictures a while ago, and they have just accepted one of them, surprisingly it is an HDR that was accepted.

Nice work! It's great looking in on the gallery to see if any have been accepted... I normally find I get more rejections than acceptances but it's a great feeling when one shot is picked. Your shots are great! I woud echo as well that the 50-135 is a great lens

Congratulations! Great photos, I love the B&W single portrait a lot.
Maybe you can celebrate it by buying a DA*50-135, I believe Whelmed is selling one in the classified here.

Congrats from another happy PPG'er. It's a good feeling, isn't it?

You have a good eye for portraits. Some lens, the 1.7/50
Best regards

Thanks very much for all your comments. I'm into double figures now and I did celebrate with a DA*50-135, which will pretty much live on the camera.
