Varanids - Monitors of the world.

Accidental Images is a group hosted by myself and the ever wonderful and engaging Maureen that focuses on things that weren’t nessesarily the main focus of the photograph or piece of art, but somehow show up. We’ve already had a few entries and some of them already blew me away, just mind boggling how obvious some accidents pop right out. This group is bound to be a lot of fun and one of those where you will probably write others and say “Hey check this out” or ” do you see that” You don’t have to join up to see the work obviously, but guaranteed most of us have had those shots, many on a regular basis Salud / Bezay Accidental Images

I have a list of favorites and for various reasons I feel it very important you know about them and their work, they are tireless artists and the passion they evoke in their art is evident, so please click the links below and fav pieces you like and by all means heap on the well worthy accolades of these awesome artisans Scott dAlmeida Sena Deborah Zaragoza Maureen Maliha JustK Erik Schlogl David DeWitt Andy Warde Karen Fendley and finally but not least Mike Cressy all unique and a different style and approach and I hope you find them aside from their art good people SALUD! and more to come at a later date

I just sold a Matted Print of http://www.redbubble.com/people/pugsly/art/886523-3-will-i-or-wont-i Thank you to the person who purchased it! Steve

http://www.redbubble.com/groups/animals-of-africa Focuses on animals only, shots must have been taken in the wild! Come along and make it one of the best quality groups on RB. Steve and Chris. p.s we are looking for 1 more moderator so BM if your interested.

I was disappointed to see that the the winning place image for the latest Rural NSW avatar challenge does not appear to meet with the guidelines of the group or the challenge. The winning image clearly states that the image was taken in ‘I stumbled upon this bridge in Utica, IL’, I am assuming this is Illanois US. Doesnt seem like Rural NSW to me! If it is, I stand corrected. It also doesnt appear that the image is even a member of the Rural NSW image collection. However, there is a clear problem emerging with challenges on RB as any member can enter images into any challenge, regardless of whether they are members of the group, or whether the image is within a group. This image was clearly missed by this groups moderators who can remove ineligible images (manually) submitted to the challenge. It is clearly a great image don’t get me wrong, but if it is not in Rural NSW which appears to be the case, the image should not be adopted as the groups new avatar. The avatar should go to the next image that meets with the group and challenge guidelines! Otherwise, why participate in a challenge at all……......................I’m sure that if I posted an image of a flower in the Australian Wildlife Group it would be quickly removed! Just my 20 cents worth…….......
