"I agree with Axel's observation that there are a lot of 'snapshot' type pictures being uploaded and accepted. I hope they do not lose sight of the quality requirements."
I have been amazed at the "snapshot quality" of so many of the submissions with no awareness of the quality of light or of visual impact. Landscapes are the prime offender.

Interestingly I've had 2 images rejected first time round but approved quickly when resubmitted (which I did because both photos had done well elsewhere).

I've not submitted anything to the new system yet, I was waiting for you lot to get the creases ironed out first
I have done a fair bit of voting though and have to agree the standard of entries seems to be dropping, if the gallery does turn into an elite version of flckr then we will just have to strive to get into the premiere collection.

Wow but that is really a hard task - I have only 4 pictures in the premier collection. at the time I got number 4 in I had about 400 in the ppg so only one out of 100 had made it -and as someone else already posted - since the new PPG waslaunched not a single picture made it in the premier collection

The quality of the landscapes is in general poor, some of the still life shots lack 'focus' and as for the portraits.
I can't figure how some of mine get dumped while other people's submissions which are, to say the least, indifferent are getting accepted. Has the majority of the voter base altered to 15 year old chavs or something?

Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...
PPG entries.

Sounds like a good idea. I presume the premier collection is what the general public see fist on the site?

I have had another 1 approved it is taking about 24 hours from the time of posting to approval.
That makes it 2 approved 3 rejected, I put 5 in over 2 days and have them all passed through,within 24 hours.
