Over the last couple years we have attempted to keep the Photography Gallery a showplace for "pure" photography. This was done in order to give Photographers a place to show their talent, without getting lost in the larger "Rendering" community. [Everyone please take a quick read of the guidelines at the top of the Photo Gallery.] As our Gallery has grown and spread to a wider group (getting new digital cameras for Christmas, etc.), there has been an increasing number of postings including 2D or 3D rendered elements. Often it is VERY difficult for the Mods and Coords to draw the fine line, in many cases resulting in angry Members. ["You moved MINE, why didn't you move THIS one??!!!!"] There has also been upset about this not being "Fun" anymore. This Forum and Gallery exists to please its Members. It is appropriate for us to periodically reset any of the rules in order to better please the evolving Membership. Here is your chance to OFFICIALLY whine about the direction you'd like to see in the Gallery. PLEASE BE CIVIL, AND KEEP THE FLAME LOW! WE WILL DELETE ANYTHING THAT EVEN SMELLS OF ATTACK. Include specific comments for: photo manipulations photographs that have been heavily changed Images containing 2D elements stock photography 3D elements I'd also like the folks in "2D" and "Mixed" to chime in here with their opinions.
