I think that was nothing more than constructive criticism. Now, if this was a post your Mazdaspeed Protoghey (im just in awe of how wity you are) then maybe I would but there are currently no pics I like of my car, even if they are calendar worthy.
Yes, I thought of that on my own.  Evidently personal attacks are fine, since it's obviously cool for you to tell people their pictures are crap. Here's one quote I thought I'd just throw in from you:

Good constructive criticism there.  Way to point out what was so horrible in YOUR eyes. Right now, I see enoguh quality pictures to make a pretty damn good calendar. I trust Pete's decision/taste, and not that it matters anyway, HE is the one doing all the work! If I don't like the submissions, I don't have to buy the calendar! The reason I brought anything up, was because this is the only thread I see you post in, and you seem to be pretty quick to tell people how "horrible" their pictures are. If it bugs you that much, go start a Protege calendar, where YOU can be the judge of what makes it and what doesn't.

Honestly, lets just drop it and let people continue to post their submissions for the calendar. For people who dont care about my opinion sure are hanging on to it.

The personal level that you guys have brought this to is pathetic. Tirminyl has kept it clean, but it's you guys who are calling him names, making personal attacks and being childish. I would love to see this calendar look like the first one. Those were good quality pictures.
SAV: The only things good about the construction pic you posted is the lighting and it's in focus. Do you really want a picture of a dumpster on YOUR calendar? If you can post what you want why can't he? And I did post new pics, even though they were not used in a calendar before. High horse? Great more comments on a personal level...
akrump: Nice try..if it's the sun in that pic, explain how there could be another sunset in the reflection of the car. Sorry the MOON is a little overexposed, it was a 20 seconds exposure.

Remember that there are still 2 weeks left to submit pics. More good ones will be posted ...
Agfrost - I see what you are saying about the moon shot. Very clever, the pictures of course are gorgeous

well I dunno about the rest of you, but all this excessive criticism has made me think twice about submitting anything for this calendar, both past pics or new ones.
I had intended on making some time to go snap photos, but now I'm doubting my ability to take anything that's worthy.
I'm an accountant afterall, not a professional photographer.
I can see very clearly what are the requirements for a good photo, but to actually go out and create such a thing is an entirely different task - especially to come back and get bombarded heavily with criticism stating that what I thought I had done right was in fact still WRONG.
screw that noise! Why waste my time snapping all those photos when it most likely won't make the calendar anyway?
I'm still hoping for a kick ass calendar. I love them! I bought both last year.
but if a majority of people are feeling the way I am, then I fear we won't even see a calendar.
