weekly themes-unrelated images
#OFF TOPIC

" every week a new theme is posted and you can upload one image . The image must fit the specific theme or it will be removed "
 
In light of my own observations it appears clearly that on any given week a certain number of topic-unrelated photos find their way
' with impunity ' to the weekly theme galleries ... is that an issue ? I would think so , the very concept of a theme as with respect to a chosen subject is simply
to conform to it . That is not what i have seen in a long while .
 
A pity the authorities pass it over without assuming as granted the genuine integrity of the themes as being what they should be : coherent , cohesive , harmonious in unity
and fully adhering to the posted subject ... well, I do not perceive a potter at work in her shop has much to do with horses in the present theme although the photo is truly amazing it does not belong there, this week theme is a plenty with irrelevant images and they just seem to be growing in number each weekly theme that passes by ...
 
my two cents worth ,
cheers

Hi Carol,
Thanks for letting us know.
I did find a few images which I have removed which were unrelated.
 
Some members interpret the theme differently, and may for example not show an actual horse but a scupture of one. or something related to horses like a horseshoe. If the interpretation is related to the theme in a direct way those images are left in the competition.
 
We will go through the entire group asap, in case I have missed any.
 
Thanks for your concern and for bringing this to our attention.
 
My best,
Phyllis
