Using a Nikon 40mm f2.8 micro currently, my first Nikon prime & love it, and the close-up opportunities it provides.Looking at getting an 85mm f1.8 soon.

Sigma 50mm f1.4 - awesome lens, beautiful creamy bokeh which further emphasises the detail in the subject. Love it! Rate it! Get on it!

For 35mm film it would be my 80-200 f/2.8. For DX it is my 85mm f/1.8 prime. On my Mamiya RB67 it would be both my 127mm KL and 180mm KL lenses, though I just bought the 250mm and have not used it yet.

I love my Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 on DX format.

Rejections from groups with no explanation.

I have had some simply fine,simple,not offensive black and white portraits rejected without any explanation.Tell me.Can there be individuals on Flickr out of retaliation or simply be mean "report" certain images as inappropriate even if they are not.Are there ways to get back at individuals someone doesn't like.

This is happening to many of my submitted photos and almost all of mine are not offensive by anyone's standards.And almost all easily fit into the category group I am trying to submit to.

What gives?

Can someone write me at my Flickr name: Groucho5

Thanks.
