I vote for Saleire’s ‘“Alien Visitor’s Return’":http://www.redbubble.com/people/saleire/art/14...
I know this image isn’t participating in the contest and I want to protest by doing this because I absolutely don’t agree with the decision you made to reject her work! And I can’t understand that decision was made! It’s a wonderful mysterious image of something out worldly to me. And absolutely suited for the competition!!
I think you should reconsider.

I want to say this also, I thought a contest was about having fun in this group and about art. When you censorize images for no good reason, that feeling is a bit gone, I would say!

Thank you Arie…..I really appreciate this….but Alien Visitor is the moderator and so his decision is the final one. I would have loved to participate in this contest as I really enjoyed making this image…..but I am sure the rules are the issue here. But thank you for the vote :o)

Hi Arie… I totally agree that sal’s image was awesome… I did see it…. She knows I loved it too ;) … However the rules do stipulate that the rules of the group applied here and it really didnt fit into the guidelines of the group itself even if it was perfect for the contest.

We really had to be strict as there were real prizes involved and it isnt fair to allow one image in that we wouldnt have allowed from someone else.

Sal knows full well that I adore her images totally, and I have another bigger competition taking place on my own site on the 7th and I am hoping she, and ALL of you will take part in that !!

The games are fun.. yes… but also when it comes to a contest some rules do need to be applied.

Hi Angel…..I think this is where I am confused about my work being rejected. It says here in the rules, alien creatures, and the Stellar unkown are also welcome and if my work is not an alien then I don’t know what is :o) I do think it was a bit of nit-picking by AV.

But thank you Arie and Navybrat for seeing what I saw xx

SPACE images…. all images must be of and in space not fantasy… I have removed the bit that is misleading and am showing here what was written below…

SPACE SCENES means that the images <b>must be of space</b>. Astronomical photography is also permitted ONLY if no part of a planet surface that you are on is showing within the photograph. This is easily done with telescopes etc

I will also add that this is the last contest this group will be holding….

Good luck to all entrants !!

But Angel……all alien creatures have to be fantasy as we do not have a real picture of one to go by.
