I have a sequence of photos composed as one image.
Would this be acceptable? It does have a border separating each photo.

 

[haleybobl]

Here is part of the rules stating that you can't do that. You may want to review them all so you get the right sizes as well.

Image Content
a. Photo must be of a chameleon.
b. The chameleon must be in good health (wild chams excluded).
c. The photo must show signs of good husbandry.
d. Photo must be sharp and in focus.
e. No text or watermarks.
f. No borders.
g. No image modifications besides cropping and resizing are allowed.

Today is the last day to enter the August contest.

A few images were removed because they did not meet the size/ratio requirement.

It's my first contest, does anyone know when the voting starts? Can you see the stats as you vote or is it a secret until the end?

 

[Brad]

sebs: Your photo did not meet the size requirements. As listed in the contest rules, the minimum width is 800px. Great photo though; please try again next month.

Warrix642: Voting begins as soon as the reduction phase is complete. Most likely, that would be this evening or tomorrow.

 

[Brad]

The entry phase has ended and voting will now begin.

We received over 45 entries this month and the average quality was excellent. Only 15 final slots were available and unfortunately some great photos did not make it. Whether your photo made it to the public vote or not, you are welcome to request more details on how your photo was graded - send me a pm or create a new thread.

Comparing the original size of each image can also help and is recommended.

I don't have a copy of your photo. This means it was most likely removed before the entry deadline because it did not meet the requirements set in the rules.

Because you are a junior member. You are unable to vote in the photo contest until you are a member.
