I posted this image, entitled "Today's Wild Harvest" to the "Isolated subjects against white background" challenge and it was instantly disqualified as being offensive. Say what??!!

What am I missing here?

Strikes me as a bit of an overreaction, TBH, but that’s just one guy’s opinion. I can post a link to this in the Mod forum and see if I can get a better reading on what the issue is. I’ll get back to you if and when I get a credible explanation.

Thanks, Jerry. I wrote to the guy, respectfully, but got no answer.

Greg

That’s unfortunate. I did post something over there and I’ll report back if/when I get some sort of an answer.

Thanks again!!

Well, no definitive explanation, but most likely, as an avid birder, he personally found it somewhat offensive.  Whether it actually violated any rules per se is certainly questionable, but apparently he felt that it wasn’t appropriate, for whatever reason.
