Portraits in Natural Light

Have you had your submission rejected? First – did you have “Taken in natural light” included in the description? Regardless of how obvious this is please include it. Secondly, was there a person in the photograph? This is another popular reason work is rejected. Thirdly, is the photograph one that looks like it belongs in a gallery?
The idea of setting these guidlines is not to be mean or snobby – it is to showcase good photography and inspire photographers to lift skills.
