I have a question for you guys in here.

What do you think of photos like Pets-059 - should this be a pet shot? To me it's more of a nature/landscape but because there happens to be a puppy in it, it's in Pets? Seems silly to me. (DISCLAIMER - I don't know who's shot this is so don't feel I'm bashing someone, it's just the latest example in cross-genre submission that I have issues with).

Why don't you ask the photographer? He is sitting right between us. The shot has a pet in it...that is all it takes to make it a pet shot.

You're right, there are a lot of pictures that are cross-genre, but in my opinion I rarely take a picture that could fit into just one category. even if something is more likely to fit into one category than another, it could still qualify for lots of categories. It's a risk entering an ambiguous photo, but sometime I think it's a risk that pays off well I'm also sure it's hard when your favorite photos fall into multiple categories! I think I saved myself a lot of stress by not entering this year!

I like people to be happy, I wish that there could be two books made. The "chosen and voted for" book and the "we still think you're awesome" book for the rest of the pictures!!

I think it's a beautiful photo of a pet. I wish more pet shots weren't just snapshots (then pets would have a better reputation as a category) of pets but beautiful done like that one.

nice thought little.

Yeah, this certainly brings out feelings of frustration or rejection or hurt or whatever, if the entered photos don't do well. I guess that's part of competition. Tough part though.

Who wants to read something funny?

I really like all these comments and thoughts. I want to be clear, I think that photo is absolutely WONDERFUL. I was just asking the question. As far as Pets as a share, it's one of my favorites. I had a hard time selecting ten to vote for because so many of them are good. In the case of my example, it's paying off well since it's the top vote getter in that category so far. I guess most people do not agree with my sentiments. LOL Not surprising.

At least the dress can be used at a subsequent formal event. No woman is going to wear the same dress to get married a second time.

Not many will wear a formal to a second event that'll have some of the same people at it either. And as a further counter-example, there's been more than one woman married in her mother's wedding dress.

hahaha awesome Jamie!
