    Seriously… I’m sure you guys get lots photos on a daily basis but some of the ones that are posted really make me laugh, is there a standard or is it just anything goes… A photo of the day should be something that captures the moment, something worth looking at… DNO get real, I know you are going to say post mine so I’m doing so and I hope you post it or even post my comment.

    seeing everyone is commenting on the pole,i am trying to look pass it,what i am figuring out is,the photographer might be sending a message,that this poles are an eye sore,i remember after hurricane david,it was rumored that all cables and electrical wires would be placed underground,apparently this was not true,because here it is, in a photo,and causing a debacle to.

    Sorry DNO. This photo should NOT have been accepted. I know it is amature. But you have to set SOME standards. Is it a photo of a pole? Or is it a photo of some ships?

    ADMIN: When are you going to send yours?

      Admin…..I must say your response makes for a good laugh.

      Actually, had the pole and cables not been there, the composition would have been quite good.

    Come on DNO, we can do better than this. Are you guys really serious, posting this poorly composed photo as the photo of the day?

    ADMIN: Send yours and be impressed.

    This would be a great pic if it wasn’t for that huge pole barring everything.

    This Photo of the day, is a perfect example of how NOT to take a picture, with this utility post straight down the center of the picture.
