I recently tried Onexposure.net, at the advice of my good friend Derek W. To say the least, i was not impressed. The set up and organization seemed to be lacking, and the people were sure they were better then anyone else. I say this because of the comments left on pictures I had in the process of “screening,” not the fact mine were not accepted. I opted to try to get what i consider my two best shots accepted to be published on the site. The two pictures I chose were “Lightning Over The Lake” and also “Nature Conforms.” I did get rejected on both. I can understand the lightning I suppose, it isn’t a amazing shot of lightning. But…. one of the comments left on “Nature Conforms” was “this shot is something we have seen a lot of, and is nothing new.” ARE YOU SHITTING ME? I would love to see one shot that looks anything like that place. So needless to say I will not be using that place any further. This to everyones own decision but i do not recommend this site to anyone that values their art. Just thought I would let everyone know the facts of what happened with my try at Onexposure.net RedBubble is the place I will choose to hang my work.

I find it has helped me think more about each shot and to try to do much better with my photography.
I’ve had 10 rejections and 3 accepted at OE. It isn’t all that bad, and if people are after a challenge and some honest critique i would suggest they go take a visit.

^Just my opinion of course :)

I agree, OnExposure is stuffed up with themselves and think their sI%t don’t smell! I left them, because they seem awfully biased to me.
