To become a member you must receive 2 YES votes from any of our 16 administrators. Membership is only open to those who can submit high quality nude or implied nude images of persons in their 30s or older, either as self-portraits and/or of models that are. If you do not have images that meet this criteria you may be asked to add us to your watch list until you have had more time to build your gallery. Please understand that we consider watchers to be just as important but that in order to make sure our members do not submit images that are not appropriate for our gallery we limit membership to only those who have this work in their gallery at this time.
1) At least a few high quality nude images in their gallery (cell phone or snap shots with no post photo processing do not count as high quality)
2) That the model(s) in the nudes appear to be age 30 or older.
3) If the moderator is uncertain about age, the age of at least one of the models and/or of yourself if there are only self-portrait nudes may be requested.
1) No Water-Marks
2) Only Nudes, Implied Nudes and/or Body Scapes
3) No images of female genitalia (e.g., clitoris, labia, vulva, urethra etc.)
4) We accept one submission per day
5) For submissions to the Man and Woman folder, either the male or female has to be age 30 of older, not both
6) We do not accept photo-manipulations of other photographers work. Photo finishing and/or manipulation techniques you have done to your own work is ok.
SUBMISSION DECLINES
A submission must receive 2 yes votes from any two of our 16 group administrators in order to be accepted. Declines are based on submission rules and our moderators personal taste. In addition to personal opinion an image may be declined if:
1) The model obviously appears to be much younger than 30 and there is no link to a model-mayhem, DA or other source that provides the models age to verify.
2) The image appears to be more appropriate for a photo-manipulation folder which we do not have.
3) The image lacks originality, clarity or has issues with cropping, composition, to dark or to light.
4) The image is too similar to another image already in the gallery. "We want your best work, not the entire series of a photo shoot."
FEEDBACK ON DECLINES
We have some moderators who have more time than others and can give feedback or reasons for declines. Other moderators run several groups on DA and can not. Sometimes one image may be declined and another image may be requested in it's place. We do apologize, for anyone who feels they have have been unfairly considered for membership or on a submission. Please feel free to ask us for an explanation if you can not find a reason in the above submission and membership request rules.
