Hello darlings~

I felt the need to make this journal entry since I've noticed quite a lot of people don't understand the concept of a group and my group in particular since I don't want to speak for others.
This group is based on a concept I have mentioned in the info part,it is based on a certain type of pictures that I look for...pictures that aren't just monochrome,pictures that speak to me.
So you should all understand that the moderation is not done based on some general standards of photography,I don't even think that would be possible since "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and I think that applies best when talking about pictures.
The moderation is done on the "standards" I have set for the group,on my goal-as to what kind of pictures I want to showcase and promote.
Therefore my opinions may not coincide with yours,so please stop telling me that you've been told your picture is great or that it got a DD or whatnot.I don't care about any of that,I don't look at the number of comments etc when moderating a picture.
If a picture speaks to me and I find it appropriate for my group,I will accept it no matter if it has 0 or 1000 comments.
If a picture is declined it doesn't mean it's not good,it means it's not good/appropriate for this group in particular..so please don't be disappointed if your picture gets declined.
I hope you all understand and please comment here if you have anything to say about this so I can clear out any other misunderstandings.
Last but not least,I want to give a big welcome to all the new members that have joined since last year!
I am very grateful to have on board so many talented people and I am looking forward to seeing how you all keep growing

I wish you all a lovely day~
