Sta.sh
First of all I want to thank you for joining this group, we now have over 1000 members and almost 1300 watchers.
Secondly, but not less important is the fact that we opened submissions for all members, not just contributors. The number of deviantions you can send for a possible entry in the group is unlimited. All folders are now open, including Featured. However, there are guidelines that I please ask you to consider before submiting a photo:
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
All images will need my vote before they can be displayed in the main page.
General guidelines:
No heavy noise in the photo. It must have a great composition and a balanced contrast. No blownout highlights and no shadows without details.If the photo has a simple background, it must be clean.Beauty, fashion, artistic nudes, covers and campaigns guidelines:
The skin must be smooth and clean. Freckles are ok. Do not send photos with oversmoothed skin to the point it looks like plastic. Blurred skin or retouched with the "degrunge" method is not allowed.Skin tones must not be oversaturated, redish or with an unpleasant color.Fly-away hairs are ok only if the hairstyle is meant to be raw and wild.Nature, Architecture guidelines:
The scene must be eye-catching and not ordinary. Overdone HDR is not allowed. Oversaturated photos are not allowed. Oversharpened photos are not allowed.DONATION:
I would also like to thank everyone that donated so far
. Donations are still open. 
I would like to please invite you to consider donating points so that we can purchase a one year subscription for the group.
You will be able to do that in the donation pool in my profile [link]
This will give us great new advantages as :
-weekly journal with the latest editorials with the ability to insert images
- making features and news with works from members/contributors
- once a month you will be able to suggest a fav artist (photographer) and the winner will be chosen by pool. The winner will get a feature.
-rearrange the layout
-adding skins to the blog
We have over 1200 watchers and I believe a subscription is the next step to make the group evolve. I want to thank all the ones that submitted their photographs to this group because they are the ones that make the gallery so amazing. I also want to thank the watchers because they comment, fav and support the works of members and contributors.
Keep posted for a special feature soon.
Thank you,
~Aida
