Wow.Originally Posted by jakbarI am in absolute and total greement with every word of your post.Originally Posted by NIKV69Poor generalizations like this is what leads to these pointless discussions about this topic that has been beaten to death. I can't believe after 2 years this topic continues. The screeners at anet have no alterior motives, they don't get their rocks off by rejecting rather than accepting or anything else. Johan has set the bar a certain way and that's it. I think the reason more and more new photographers are being frustrated is not because of their photos rejected, but more because this mindset has been created that the anet screeners have all these little quirks on what they like and what they will accept. I think if you stick to the basics of both taking the picture and editing the picture you will find that all of this talk is complete BS. I take a very basic approach to PS and I get results that anet still accepts. Of course when you attempt harder shots like nose shots and close ups it will be harder to achieve the motive and quality anet accepts. Which is what you would expcect. Don't confuse new and intermediate photographers into thinking anet's screeners won't give a shot a fair shake because a certain shot is not a full body side on or a perfect close up nose shot, because then photographers that are learning are going to have the same narrow minded attitude and instead of trying to improve the shot they will just complain about the rejection.
