They got a lot to consider but as Ron has indicated previously change is on the way... So any more ideas you have keep 'em coming.... |

Nice shots, but the third one was too similar to the two approved. A good example of what I have to decide on a daily basis and in this case nothing to do with quality. |

Sunday night must be a nightmare Ron as we all come back from doing from our weekends out with the cameras- point taken. |

You hit the nail on the head there mate, but as was the case with your addtional picture it wasn't necessary to approve it when the other two showed exactly what you had captured. Great shots they are too! |

This discussion has made me think of something re another thread so I am off to scribble on that thread. |

I sent about 27 photos over four days and was amazed to receive over 50 comments, and counting. Some of my shots I considered to be quite ordinary but people liked them. I will say that a lot of shots sent to POE are to put it bluntly a waste of space. People snap away with no thought and send them off. I remember I made this comment on a photo uploaded by a certain member. I was rather sarcastic. "Telegraph poles,wires,aerials,lamp posts,road signs and cars appear to be your speciality" (name removed) He has sent over four times the number of photos that I have sent. I have just noticed the photo I made my comment on has some scaffolding in it as well ! Edited by: Stephen . at:4th June 2013 22:32 |
