1) All works should clearly depict a neighborhood and/or a community. i.e: infrastructure; buildings, streets, history, landscape and issues specific to your place. Please note that a lone tree in the middle of your community does not in itself constitute a portrait of a Community!
There are other groups for Flowers and Plants, Portraits, Birds and Animals, family members, etc! If they happen to be part of a larger scene which shows the neighborhood or community, that’s fine; but PLEASE, no works focusing solely on the smaller/individual items!! *+THIS MEANS NO MACROS OF FLOWERS OR ANIMALS WILL BE ACCEPTED!+This rule will be strictly adhered to, and any members repeatedly violating this rule will be asked kindly to cease doing so. Continued violations will result in that member’s removal from the Group.*
2) Showcase your BEST work only – only that which you consider a piece which you could sell. Images that obviously do not show professionalism in the techniques of the photo will be either deleted or rejected.
3) Be kind and respectful when commenting on others art works. Feel free to let the Hosts know of any incidents that are not respectful and it will be looked into. We will not tolerate anyone being mean or disrespectful.
4) *N0 SUNSETS, SUNRISES OR MOON SHOOTS!!!* unless they happen to be part of the overall image. The image must be showing your Community as a whole.
There are other different groups for these types of images.
We look forward to having you as a member of this group and seeing all your great images!
