January Updates
The userpage appears to be undergoing more changes with it's modular goodness, so if things look a little weird for a while, that's why.

January's submissions are now closed.  If you've sent a submission note and your work hasn't appeared in the gallery yet, hang in there.  There were a LOT of submissions this month and I don't want to overload everyone's devwatch.

February's submission theme needs to be chosen!  Please vote in this poll to help choose it.

Congrats to the winners of Shutter-Vision's Night Photography contest!  Here they are...

Submission Info
Every month, you will be invited to submit your own work to PhotoLust's gallery.  Some months will have submission themes and some will be open submission (no theme) so please keep an eye on the journal so you know what you're submitting to!

Submissions are only open for two weeks(ish) out of every month to give me plenty of time to catch up with all your notes, and are limited to ONE submission per person per month, so please check the dates before you submit anything - help me stay sane!

JANUARY'S SUBMISSION INFO
Submission dates: January submissions now closed
Submission theme:  Open (no theme)
Submission limit: ONE submission per person only
Additional info: All genres of photography, all skill levels.
Please include: A link to your deviation AND keywords
Subject: Please put 'January Submission' as the subject of your note.

Anyone can submit to PhotoLust, but I do ask you to please watch the account before you submit.  If all the other watchers will be seeing your submissions in their devwatch, it's only fair that you see theirs too.

If there's anything that you'd like specific critique on, feel free to include in your submission note a short message which I will add to the description of your piece in the gallery.  You don't have to do this if you don't want to, but it is a good opportunity to ask for critique.


Inspirational Photos
A selection of stunning photos from the recent submissions.

Atrium 34 by absurd-halo flag stones by rorshach13

These are featured because I like the photos and want to share them, and I only look at the deviant who submitted them to check that they aren't club submissions.

PLEASE don't gripe about how many comments, favs, views or DDs any of the pictures of the artists who submitted them have.  I don't care.  I don't look at that stuff.  I'm only interested in the individual images and how fab they are.

If you'd like to suggest an inspirational photo for next month (please ensure that it was submitted recently), send a note.  Please don't suggest your own work, thanks!
