Hi Alex

Can I remove my portrait format portrait and re-enter with landscape format bird head and neck even tho challenge full as requested originally peasel?

0 upvotes

Yes you can but be very fast !!! If someone take your place (after you withdrawn your photo) is not my fault!

Could you pl clarify whether PORTRAIT means PORTRAIT format. There are many Koo lpix, most in Landscape format. Could you reply asap as my best shots are square or landscape not POTRAIT format. I notice the sample is not in PORTAIT FORMAT either. I will take thhe rules seriously and submit a PORTRAIT-formatted birds portrait. I will remove it if you rule otherwise and resubmit. TA

Hi!
I don't want the format portrait. The format does not matter.
Portrait, in my opinion, means the head with or without neck of something, in this case, a bird.
Hope I answered your question!

Hope we have this cleared up now.

Yes, we have. Nice photo btw! Good luck!

Thanks for the clarification. Clearly you want only head shots and not full body portraits - maybe next time you can be clearer in your challenge topic and rules since nothing there states this.

I will be watching to see if your are consistent in your enforcement...

Best of luck!

Hi!
Sorry for the misunderstanding but I did not think for a second that portrait can mean anything but a head shot!

Thank you for the rule clarification! I thought "portrait" was not limited to just the head, but that's fine. Really refreshing to see a host actually enforcing the rules.

PORTRAIT MEANS HEAD WITH OR WITHOUT NECK ONLY!!!

PEOPLE, BEFORE ENTERING ANY PHOTO, LOOK AT THE EXAMPLE!!!!
