Dears - I understand that you may feel frustrated. Apparently, I was not clear enough. All in all, I take your comments as the lesson for communicating better. However, a lot of the entries that I did NOT disqualify meet the criteria.
A little reminder of the rules here:
- the photo has to show a strong shadow and light and the contrasts of the two
- no offensive or demeaning photos
- the moderator reserves the right to disqualify any inappropriate content
- has to be documentary, UNPOSED photography
- no potrait per se
- no landscape
- no macro

Sorry, but I didn't see reinpic's entry. However, after reviewing all the entries here, and having had one disqualified myself, I've chosen to withdraw my 3 entries. There are such a large number of entries that don't come close to meeting your restated/expanded criteria, that don't have people, don't have strong shadows, and some that I can't even be sure there is a shadow, to the point that I feel there is no structure to this competition. Yes, you make the rules, but they're not as clear as you seem to think. I will gladly re-enter if you bring some conformity to the entries.

Hello Gordon, I see that the discussion has taken the wrong turn, it seems. Anyway, it's a pity you have withdrawn your entires, as some of them did meet the criteria.

Hi thanks for your feedback. I don't mind, you choose whatever you wanna do. I couldn't care less. my main aim was to educate people about street photography, yours is far away from this and it's a fair deal: you should really stay away from my challenges.

@paatryk77
“the rules say: unposed, that clearly refers to living subjects"

Sorry my dear. But this is an additional rule, not the main rule. And Unposed is not significant for living subjects - unposed means only that you take a picture without any organisation of the photo composition! Unposed could be anything, people, animals,cars ... whatever. This is an international website. So please in the future make a more precise information, even for the people, which are not native speakers. And by the way, in the challenge there are in the moment more photos, where are no "living subjects".
Greets, reinipic

My God, the whole series is about street and documentary photography, but apparently I need to remind people of that CONSTANTLY. BTW: This was mentioned in the general rules. I stand by my story though, not gonna let you back in. I am sorry, yours has nothing to do with street photography....

OK Tomek, now I tell you something:
1) Not everybody on this planet has to know, that you are making a serie of challenges.
2) If it is to tricky for you to remind people which only want to enter a challenge, you should better make nothing.
3) Overall you are not really an appealing figure when you react as above, if somebody criticized a mistake.

Don´t worry never ever I will participate a challenge in the future which is hosted by you.

Greets forever and a nice Christmas, reinipic.

reinipic, you are right on the money with regard to this "host". His rules are just a lot of mumbo-jumbo.
