Host,
However I think that most of the pictures are awesome, they do not meet the criteria. Object needs to fill a.l. 75% of the picture. To my estimation, no 15 is the first that meets the 75% and should ben no 1.

If you set rules, you should take action as well.

Host,
What do you mean by tailling?
Something as in: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tailling ?
Because as for most of the entries, anything goes here. Some clarity should have been a must. Don't you think? Thank you for your feedback.

Yes thats the definition. Its about stalking something to get a closer view. I understand what you mean. Thanks for the concern. I do DQ some entries which really show no sign of secret shooting but I have to be careful about that.

Thanks! so much, :) at least some entrants know they are on the right track of things, and the voters know what to look for. Personally, I think that if the subject is looking back at the camera or possing for it (any creature incliding humans), it is not tailling.

When it says in Rules " the object fills at least 75% of the photo" does that mean" as shot " or is cropping acceptable?

0 upvotes

Cropping is acceptable. All the best!
