every time I come back here Im missing at least two more photos. Its very discouraging.
Im afraid to upload and ask my friends and family to come to this site to see pictures that arent there. its embarrassing. dont think I'll ever make it to two pages. *sigh* am I not good enough? is Ceades trying to tell me something? do they want me to go away? hmmm wouldnt know why. I THINK I do good work. Its been a lil tough to keep up with because of summer and all. again... hmmm. not sure what to do at this point. I see ppl with up to 4 and 5... 10 pages. prolly more. I cant even get it up to one. photos that I uploaded about two weeks ago are already taken off. Im sad.

I just looked through your gallery.. you have nice photos... 2 a week and taken off so early is a bit rough...

Yes, having an image removed is a gentle reminder that you have some progress yet to be made in your craft. If you want to post images on the web permanently to share with family, caedes.net is not the place to do that. We have limited disk space and need to make room for new images. We only remove images as early as two weeks in the case of a snapshot image. Just as a warning and example, I'd say that you image 'mmm Supper' falls into that catagory.

Im curious how... A flaming peony, a sleeping Tiger, Two female house finches having lunch, a cardinal snacking with a sparrow. a mourning dove on the roof top, a sweet lil shi tzu, A kissing fish, two Bison relaxing in the hot sun, a close up pony with his momma, peek a boo lily and many more.. are concidered snap shots in comparison to the ones I have up. in comparison to the ones Ive seen up on others profiles. I have lost at least 12 photos in the past two months. I guess from what I am hearing, " I have some progress yet to be made in my craft." heh the only thing I can conclude from this is that Im not good enought to be on Ceades. I'll use the word "discouraged" again. Thanks for your quick response to my concern Mr. Ceades. at least I didnt have to wait to find out why.

I have other sites with my work. http://spaces.msn.com/members/IamTheWolfChild/ that my friends and family can go to. However, it was nice to be able to send my father here to see my work and read the nice comments people have to say. I put alot of effort into my work. Take a look at my other site to see what has been deleted and not good enough for this site.

When I started here I was very excited to find such an awesome site to belong to. finally a place where I can see how people feel about what I do. I have many photographer friends that I have sent here and that have put up there own profiles. I understand that Ceades has alot of profiles and photos to deal with. Im sure it takes up alot of space. I will say again that I have seen profiles with up to 10 pages of photos. I cant even get up to one full page. up until now it has been very rewarding. I almost feel like Ive been shot in the foot.

Is it a matter of time now b4 Im no longer welcome? if so tell me and I'll go away.

There was a time when I thought I was good enough. It doesnt feel like a gentle reminder that Im not.

Hello Nese.

Dont be pesimistic @ all! Your work is good but there are alot of members with similar interests. I have work taken and re-added frequently. Just a quick note if you look in the Author List unber your sudamin all your uploaded work will be there. When pieces are viewed more they appear back in your Gallery (I think)? It's good that you care so much It's a quality everybody has here. Keep @ it and please dont consider any of what I have said conderscending. Stick around, NJ ; )

Nese - it's all about patience and practise - most of the people here with galleries of 10 or more pages have been here for years rather than months building that collection up and lost a lot as you have along the way. At the moment you have for the most part a nice and varied galley of shots. The only exception to that I can see would be the raccoon shots, which for all intent and purposes are virtually identical to each other save for zoom distance and lighting. As others have mentioned before in other threads variety is definitely the spice of life when it comes to your submissions and their longevities. Please don’t fall into the trap of thinking that you are in anyway being persecuted or are unwelcome because this simply isn’t the case. As you will have seen already this is a large and friendly (ish) community and most members will always be more than happy to help others in any way they can so just keep plugging away at it :-)

I currently have 122 images in the permenant galleries. This may seem like alot, but consider that I have been a member here for 2 years, and have been uploading on a very regular basis for that time; also consider that I went through my hard drive and calculated that I have uploaded approximately 600 images during that time (at least). Treat it as a learning experience, and remember it is a privelige to have your images make it to the perms, not a right. And every time one of yours makes it you can know that you have achieved something.

It also mean that the sight has become so big that the image may never been seen by that many in order to bring it up in ratings.

Yup Prismmagic. I think your right. another one bit the dust today. I think Im done here now. there dont seem to be enough room for me and my 15 photos. thanks everyone for being so sweet.

.....is there something wrong with this picture?

The other thing is that they heve to re-move image of lower standing do to the storage issues.

You are not a failure until you fail to keep trying!!

I think she left:( all her work has been pulled

I hope she didn't leave. I have images pulled a lot. It sucks, but it also tells me to play around with something and load again. Maybe one will make it. I did one- a fractal- called Valentino. I liked it a lot, and it was the best I had done, it is gone. So it is discouraging, but then it says try harder. Yes I do get discourages when I see a pic that in my mind isn't worth anything, yet it is in a perm. gallery. Sometimes I wonder if it is how "popular" you are. I can understand where she is coming from.

Acceptance is a big part of the Human game. We all look for it in our own way. Things on the site are sometimes taken too serious, forgetting that it’s about entertainment and discussion. Sometimes I think that when an image is removed they take the time to look at other images and say to them self’s that my image s better then that one. Why was mine removed?
This site has become more of a family that helps each other to a lot of the participants and when something is removed they take as if it was a personal attack when in reality images are removed for one reason or another and that is just how it is. Nothing personal, just how it is.
