A little bit more clarity would be helpful.

1/ 'BORDER is required and must include title.'

May I suggest you change it to
'BORDER is required and must include title imprinted on the photo itself.'

I got DQ-ed for putting in a bordered photo, but the title is ... well on the title line.

2/ 'NO watermarks.'
'NO watermarks, except Title.'

I've updated that for future challenges. I realize it's confusing as there is another place to put a title. A water mark is signature or some other way to brand your photo to tie it to the author, not the same as a title that is related to the work itself.

My condolances :) Sometimes it's quite incredible how brains work (if that's the case), but all people like to be called photographers. Once we had only five elements to care about: shutter speed, blend, film speed, focal length and sharpness. Now there are fifty "program modes" (doing the same), everything save framing is automatic, and no-one seems to bother with boring things like dictionary, proper terminology and other relevant knowlege.
Industry and trading have taken over the education... and it's showing... :(

it hurts but it is the truth here, I would like not to agree with you.

6 hours ago I was all caught up on DQ's and there were only 8 entries. I log in and I see I have 19 messages which are all complaints to DPR and though I have not looked at them all they all seem to be from one person. All I can say is, Dude, give me some time. I don't live on this site and please, 1 PM to me would have been more then you needed. I try to review and DQ a couple of times a day.

Now, let me get to work on these.... Sigh...

Poor Mike, you have quite a number of DQ's to keep you busy, because entrants choose not to read the rules! :-)

It's crazy at times. I've never seen that many entries in only a few hours.

what happened to the "additional rules"? :\

1 upvote

I had over 50 entries in less then 6 hours. Give me a chance.
