| Place to show great photos whose owners are AWOL or don't want them featured. Work of your own should be submitted to the Gallery. |
| Photographs will be accepted and featured which meet the following criteria: High Resolution: A minimum of 1280x1920 (or 1920x1080 if landscape), or 1600x2400 for monochrome, not counting borders, preferably larger. Full, sharp image quality that shows off the resolution: no upscaling, blurry photos, edge "enhancement" or obvious smoothing or other digital processing. The model herself should be reasonably high-res: 800 pixels or more in dimension. A distant model in a landscape shot will require a much larger resolution to make her hi-res. The photo must be downloadable OR have a large view which meets the minimum size, and no obnoxious center watermark. Nude: Female model. The occasional male may be accepted if the photo is unusually artful and pleasing, like a Greek statue. All (or most) of the model must be shown. Hider no hiding! This includes hands, convenient clothing/props, unnatural hunching and leg-crossing positions, black shadows, blurring and other intentional obscuring of "naughty bits." It also means no close-ups of body parts, limbless, headless torsos, and cropped-off or obviously hidden heads/faces. Brave and proud models only. Quantity of featured photos by a single artist will be limited, since a large collection of one artist's work here would be redundant. The goal is a large diversity of artists, showing the best representative work of each. Contributors will consist of deviant photographers and models who have a significant gallery of quality photography which meets the above qualifications. Contributors will be able to submit photos without my approval; please observe the above qualifications and don't abuse the privilege. Anyone can become a member who is willing to behave in an adult manner. Disrespecting or objectifying models is not behaving in an adult manner. |
