4. When critiquing posted photographs, please do it in an adult, considerate and professional manner. Do not insult the photographer or simply state "it sucks" etc. Give a reason as to what you may feel he/she could have done a little differently in order to get better results. We can all learn a lot from each other here so let's be professional about it.
5. Artistic nudity is allowed: Photographs which include tasteful and/or artistic nudity are allowed to be posted in the Human Form section only.

Simply use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page and/or send us a PM.Photos which are extremely graphic and fall in under ****ographic material will not be allowed on the forum.
6. Everyone from a very beginner to a seasoned professional photographer is welcomed here on the forum. With that being said all members are asked to be considerate to a newbie when they ask questions that you may feel are "stupid". We were all beginners once in this hobby of ours so let?s keep that in mind and help people want to learn about photography. Negative comments can be a complete turnoff for a newbie and he/she may decide to never return. Not Good.
7. NO brand bashing. We can all get along better without the typical brand bashing that takes place on other photo forums.
8. Illegal/pirated software requests, discussions and/or links are not allowed. These posts will be removed immediately
