Thanks for notifying me that my autumn red is orange, I just hope when I submit it for orange it will not be disqualified as Red. Be consistent, as I do see some which is really not red at all. Thanks for your effort in coordinating these mini events, I do meant it, thanks.

Submitters need to focus on their work. This is art, and it will qualify or not.

attention submitters, even if your camera does borders in camera, it will look like processing to judge, and should be cropped out.

Have a problem with "solid"...
Is a tomato solid enough ?
is a flower solid enough ?
is a bird solid enough ?
Please advise,
thank you
