I am sorry to say I will be leaving the Group. Waiting 3 weeks for my photo to be accepted/declined is wrong. You talk about becoming a supa Group I think you should learn how to run a group first.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to help out this great group as a Contributor. I am sorry that I had to 'turn in my resignation' but as my dA activity has taken a dive, I did not feel that I could contribute enough to the group. Hopefully I am able to continue to share my work as an active member in the future.
Mike.

I'm looking for a model in Perth, Australia. :-) Not for anything specific, just to be my muse!

Check out my gallery for samples of my work, and feel free to contact me through DA.

I'm not a mod, but it could do with a little sharpening up (post production would be easier unless you plan on retaking the photo).

Also its not actually showing anything. A photo, even one of a sunset needs some defined features. A feature is the place the eye looks first. This piece lacks for that. Its pretty, but it needs that something to capture the eye, to suck in the viewer.

For example, my sub par offering behind the [link] uses the road as a way to draw the eye, ehich in turn leads to the setting sun, with the sky being a virant orange.

Your image is pretty, but its glance over pretty, without having any features to continue to look at. Mine has a primary feature, but no back up feature to keep viewers looking at it, which is a flaw of the photographer (that would be me).

I take photos as a hobby, I'm by no means a professional or ever intend to be. I took a nice photo and uploaded it fun. I don't even know how to edit photos properly. :P

The photo is of some kids playing in the sunset... I thought it was sweet... oh well.

"I take photos as a hobby, I'm by no means a professional or ever intend to be"

Me too (as you can probably guess from my gallery), but you did ask a question & i thought i'd try to give you some feed back. The minimum entry requirements are pretty high in this group & as i've personal found out already "pretty" won't cut it, without some pretty extreme technical skill behind it.

As for post production work, most people will just chuck there photo into photoshop or PSP & just run it through the photo equaliser. It sharpens the colours instantly for you. Failing that find out if your photo shoots in RAW format & download your cameras specific RAW reader (usually its free from the distributor). Shooting in RAW essentially takes an incomplete photo which you can tinker around with all the features on it, without having to have more then a modicum of skill (but you can get some killer resluts).

I hope that helped
