Second opinion

posted on 7th of september, 2012

Usually I accept rejections without a word and only learning from them for the next time. But one rejection I couldn't accept and send a message to the editors "photo was rejected for "Image is out of focus or too much of the subject is out of focus (DOF too shallow or DOF not justified) / Image is shaken.

Then I start to browse the database and point out that it is not fare to reject mine by giving the similar picture and my point of view to defend my version to the editor. I am going to submit my long time rejected picture similar to this one which had sale! Wait and see.
