January '05 - Photo Challenge Submissions "Black and White" Photos!

[TwistMyArm]

I was really looking forward to this and my photo wasn't included. I worked hard on it as it was my first submission here.

Hey Purified sorry your photo wasn't included, but your photo wasn't a *jpg. If you double check the email I sent, I did make a note to ensure that you submit jpg photos only.
Sorry again, purified. Good luck with the February challenge!

Hey folks, here’s the thing…we’d like to keep the voting anonymous. In order to do this can we all refrain from announcing which photos we like or voted for. We just don’t want to have any influenced into voting for any photo, but the one that stands out for them. As some of you may have noticed I’ve made some changes so I hope you all understand.

Even after the voting has completed can we refrain from sharing our personal opinions on each photo submitted please. Praise or congrats for a photo (after the competition has ended) is one thing, but full on criticism is something else. This really isn’t the critique forum. If a user wishes to have people share opinions and criticize the work then they (the photog) can post the submitted photo in the critique gallery once the competition has ended. Each photographer was asked to remain anonymous in this competition so it’s really unfair for people to attempt to judge the work publicly. If a photographer is remaining anonymous they can’t defend their work or explain any reasoning behind the work.
Let's just try to keep that in mind people. Please don't criticize any of the work here in the Photo Challenge, especially if that criticism might be offensive.

Not to rehash something that was deleted from this thread (for good reason), but just a brief apology in case the photographer of the photo I trashed read my verbal diarrhea. My opinions are one thing, but it's true that I should have censored myself in this case. No one sharing their work in this forum deserves to be trashed like that unless they're specifically asking for it in a critique forum or something. It's probably not worth much, but it was a mistake, so I'm sorry. It also brings the forum down a notch in terms of professionalism.
