I didn't know about a rule till I've read it a little earlier: "Images for each contest should be photographed after the entry start date and before the finish date." I've intended to upload a photo in challenge arena, but because the photo is taken in october I won't uploaded it - I know that I and the person I've taken the photo of, are the only ones who know that the photo is taken three month ago; I just thought that even I don't like rules, I better respect the rules from this forum/gallery because being a moderator on another site I indicate members to respect our rules as well... Reading those rules again I've figured that a lot of members know nothing about these rules - I say that because I saw in challenge arena some "old" pictures that I'm sure that were not photographed this month...I know that when it comes about monthly challenge everything is rather a fun than a contest...I just wonder what are the rules made for... All the best from me! Happy shooting! Respectfuly, Mihai.
