My joking insult is just an outlet for my image envy.
no worries...no need for image envy...sometimes cool stuff is just sitting around waiting for you to look at it differently.
"Welcome to the Weekly Assignments. It's always a good idea to have a look at the images posted before you. ... it is bad form to post a shot so similar to one that is already submitted. "
I hadn't looked but since I play golf 3 times a week it was a natural to put a ball on a tee. Clearly original thinking isn't so original as at least two comments here indicate similar thoughts.
As a courtesy I've removed my entry and substituted it with another. In my small world there are more important things than FM weekly assignments.
I never said it was original. ..I tried to be polite and discuss in private. .. on more than one occasion I have shot an image only to find something already posted that was similar...I always shot something else. ..I was not trying to be rude and did not mention it publicly.... sorry you felt the way you did. .. the WA used to have an unspoken code of conduct. .. it seems to be fading. ..
With all due respect to the "code of conduct" I posted my image in complete ignorance yesterday without looking at anything else as I was in a hurry to go out in the afternoon.
I would have had no issue if you'd drawn my attention to your photo without assuming anything and without using the term "bad form".
