Thanks Adrian. That's a pretty comprehensive analysis...

Thanks for the comments, everyone. Much appreciated

But no intelligence yet on exactly how voting leads to acceptance. I assume, like DrO says, that it's automated in some way...but just wondered if we had any clues on the algorithm used (i.e. it needs to achieve a % of likes after a fixed number of votes, or whatever).


To look at this from another direction... has anyone had submissions rejected, and did this take longer to confirm than 'acceptances'? I'm quite tempted to try submitting 'sub-par' material just to see (no jokes about the fact I've been doing that all along, please :wink.

Seems you had good weather.

Lovely set. All strong but I found the final one most striking. Something about the textures.

1. No - but I like it.
2. No - there are many aspects to photography and one of them is art. No-one questions an artist as to whether his creation is 'natural' or not !
Exactly my reaction


I've been very much enjoying your 'adventures' in tweaking the Forum's tail this week, David. Some very thoughtful and informative comments in amongst the reactions

I have a friend who used to work in colour printing and as part of one of his lectures he demonstates very well just how far off people's colour perception can be.
I had this brought home to me rather forcefully last night. I have a blue T-shirt ... but my wife has always said it's purple. Last night we were with with friends, so I got them to vote on the colour. Result: 9 for purple, 1 (me!) for blue.

My eyes see colours differently to others.

I also really like blue tints in landscape photos. No accounting for taste
