pixabay - thanx Simon

Well, I uploaded a few photos to see how it would go. Three were rejected, 3 accepted and 3 still pending. One of them even got an "EDITOR'S CHOICE" designation.  How exciting for me!  I'm thrilled.  I don't mind the rejections - the fact that photos are rejected gives a better sense of a quality site. If everything was accepted that would be awful.

I have no illusions of winning any photography prizes. Some of the photos put up on the site are spectacular. I particularly love Hans' work. So, given that, it is a privilege to have some of my photos considered worthy of sharing with others through pixabay.

I think there are several other terrific photographers here on wizzley and I look forward to seeing some of their works on pixabay as well.

Congratulations Sheri on getting your photo accepted. I'm going to submit some, but I'm waiting for a nice sunny day to get out with my camera. It was sunny yesterday, but I'm not too sure about today. Hopefully the sun will come out.

Nice picture Sheri!  It's very unique and colorful.  Thank you Chef for the link.

Sheri, that's lovely. Congrats! :)

Thanks guys. I am hoping this thread gets some others here sending in photos. That competition is a great way to spur the building up of a reservoir of wonderful original photos in the public domain not (yet) found anywhere else.
