There always seems to be a dearth of photos from week to week. So, practically, the staff probably can't exercise any judgment nor, philosophically, should they. I'm somewhat surprised to see such a question coming from you. You've been around the forum for quite a while, you know the problems getting any images submitted let alone images that meet your standards. And, most importantly, you know the criteria that define the PhotoForum gallery. Your reviews are always valuable but what is the value of your post? For that matter, what is the value of this reply? Are we getting existential here? Enjoy the fireworks.The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated JUL 022005.

It's almost as if they were taken to illustrate a tutorial on bad technique - Focus - Camera shake - Exposure - Cropping While I guess with 4th July so close everyone's preparing for the big day (*). Can the gallery staff not apply some degree of quality control on those accepted?
