Reminder, WPD Entries Not Eligible for POTD
From time to time rules get lost in the shuffle and fall through the cracks, so I thought it would be good to post a quick reminder about WPD entries and POTD. Basically as the post title says, WPD entries are not eligible for POTD consideration.
I cannot keep up with all of them, so I trust each photographer to cull WPD entries from their submissions. But on occasion one will get through so I have to pull it from the winners list. Sadly this happened today and my apologies for missing it and letting it get posted in the first place.
Thanks for your assistance and cooperation!
