Feet

Actually I have not changed my criteria for disqual since before you entered your photos that were disqualified and before you made any comments.

That aside, as a challenge host I try to create challenges that are clear and assume people will only enter photos that meet the theme. Then people entered photos that were off theme and I was left wondering if I was the one at fault. So I started off allowing some questionable entries while disqualifying other entries for not being an interesting background. Then a person rightly stated that the theme of the challenge clearly stated in two places that I asked for photos that showed "Your feet". So I rightly made that the criteria by which all photos where disqualified, which meant that I had to reinstate some entries to be fair. Determining what makes an interesting background is subjective so I am leaving that to the voters.

No - you made the comment that they would be allowed and left many entries alone that were clearly not the photographers POV - and relying upon that I entered the challenge (only one entry). Then my entry got disqualified andthe others were still in at that point. It appears you dumped the others in an attempt to be consistent. Look - the problem is you changing the rules as you go alongbecause you were not so clear initially. If you change your rules - you should err on the side of being overly inclusive and letting the voters decide as was you INITIAL decision. However, these discussions would have likely been spoilers for entrys such as mine with the poll vaulters feet anyways regardless of what the initial rules said.
