Facts&FAQ

:bulletblack:Monochrome pictures only![B&W,sepia,other colors and shades].Any other pictures will be rejected automatically.

:bulletblack:Submit only pictures you've taken yourself or that you modeled for.

:bulletblack:This being a photography group,no photomanipulations/digital art etc will be accepted.
Also don't edit the pictures much,a little use of texture is ok but don't overdo it!

:bulletblack:Each person can submit 1 picture per folder per day.

:bulletred:Any pictures that are just vulgar or offensive in any way will be declined.

:bulletblack:Try not to submit several pictures from the same shooting unless they are not very similar to each other.

:bulletblack:Only the best pictures will be accepted in the Featured section but if your pictures don't get accepted to be featured you can submit them again in one of the other folders.Please make sure it's the appropriate folder!
Also,if I consider any of the pictures submitted to the other folders to be worth featuring I will accept and move them in the featured section.

:bulletred:Note:The folders were recently created therefore the majority of the pictures in the Featured section are still pending to be moved to the appropriate folders.


:bulletblack:If any of your pictures didn't get accepted after submission to one of the folders other than the featured one,don't submit the same pictures again.

:bulletblack:Each submission will be moderated by the founder.

:bulletblack:Quality comes before quantity so please don't get discouraged or offended if any of your submissions don't get accepted.
Also clear or high quality pictures aren't enough if they're plain and totally lack in composition/essence/feeling or some kind of vibe.So please keep that in mind before wanting to submit pictures that are just high quality looking.

:bulletblack:If you want to know why your deviation got rejected,please ask in the submission process BUT make sure you've read the group requirements before doing so.

:bulletred:For any further reference or guidelines on what I'm looking for to see in the submissions please take a look in the Favourites section and also at this journal entry [link] .

Hello darlings~ :blowkiss:


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 :aww:


I wish you all a lovely day~  :blowkiss:
