GROUP RULES:
1. BE NICE. No personal attacks. Critique the photo, do not criticize the person.
2. Post only work that was shot for this challenge. This is a shooting challenge, not a dig through your catalog and post old work challenge. We also ask that you only post one image per challenge. Posting multiple images may result in them being removed.
3. No "like ladders" or posts promoting your business page/website/IG/Flickr etc please. These will be deleted without notice. Watermarks are acceptable.
4. Post your photo’s in the weekly Albums ONLY and not to the wall. There’s to be no double posting, it clutters up the feed.
5. Include the WEEK NUMBER and THEME in your description. Images without these details will be removed without warning.
6. Constructive Criticism, being able to both give it, and receive it, is an important part of learning. For every photo you post, please make the effort to provide some constructive feedback on at least 2 other photos. Your opinion is just as valid as everybody else.
7. No spam (not even photography related). We all get enough of people trying to sell us things everywhere else.
• When providing CC, we ask that you use the 'sandwich' method. Start with what you like in an image, follow with what you think could be improved, and finish with positive encouragement. In a large online community like this one, this approach works the best. Save the brutal art school type CC for the academic world (unless someone specifically asks for it).
• A note on being offended: Art is often thought provoking, and at times, may offend. If an image is offensive to you, step back and ask why. Is it thought provoking? Does it challenge your way of thinking?
• This is a journey, not a competition. There is no start date. You decide when your week one is and start working through the list. Each of us is on our own journey in this, and you are only competing against yourself.
