I uploaded a Canon photo on here a couple of years ago - and made it quite clear why at the time.
The reason: it was taken by a member of Durham Photographic Society of a group of Pentax Users at the Whitby Goths Festival and it was a good group shot of people such as Fat Spider (Alan Chapman), Barrie Forbes, Graham Kirkby, Gareth Reynolds and me among others.
It was there for a genuine Pentax reason and no one complained.

There's some stunning photography here Peter - of my favourite location.

Just checked this morning after not visiting PPG for a few days. Nine images pending since October have all been accepted and no more declined. Now I'll start submitting again.

The picture has charm which ever way you present it - and that's because Vera is charming. You got in close despite her shyness - and that says a lot for your skills Ken. The second image is just super - what a lovely natural smile you have Vera.

Its about two months since any of my pictures were accepted or declined. All that has happened in that time is that five images in the declined section have now vanished. I still have nine photos awaiting a decision. I've not submitted any more since the end of October.
I sent an email asking if there were still problems with the gallery but haven't received a reply.

A very fine set, David. With so many pixels to play with and such a sharp lens, I might try a tight, square crop of "Speyside Autumn" centred on the three foreground trees.
That sounds like a good idea Andrew, I'll probably give it a try.
Thanks for the comments.
David.

Superb pictures, all of them, but for me #3 is outstanding.

From my recent trip to the Scottish Highlands - in black and white. The first one was taken on my K10 with the DA*16-50mm lens, all the others on the K5 with 50-135mm lens.

This year, I'll be at Whitby, (UK) weather permitting. For all of my visits there, I'm at odds of whether I'll see a decent sunset there as I can't remember if the sun can be seen to set over the West Cliff?
I thought Whitby was on the east coast of the UK, but don't know the layout of the cliffs. Would have thought the west coast of the UK best for viewing sunsets.
Because the North East Coast runs steeply North West and not due North there are times of the year when you see sunsets while looking out over the North Sea from the North Yorkshire Coast.
