New Category Created by Screener

I am somewhat surprised to see a couple of screeners arbitrarily create a new category and place my photo there. I'm used to having some kind of a discussion either in private or via one of these forums.

I submitted a photo under the "aviation glamour" category. It was accepted and published (http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photo/665514/s2-ahc-regent-airways-aviation-glamour-flight-attendant/).

Here's the conversation the screeners decided to have between themselves:

Second opinion. I wonder we need Aircraft Cabinview and/or Aviation Peope/Cabin Attendat (not glamour category for normal category) in addition to current pull down menu.

I agree with first screener. Changed to: Flight Attendant

=========================

So my question is on what basis this decision was made? I have several photos published as "Aviation Glamour" all of which are in fact flight attendants. And if I'm not mistaken, a significantly large portion of all photos in that section are depicting flight attendants. So why was this particular photograph singled out by the two screener?

As a result of their action, the photograph does not show up in the "Aviation Glamour" section ... even though the title says, "Regent Airways - Aviation Glamour - Flight Attendant S2-AHC". Is this a technical glitch?

I'm confused.

Hi Shabbir,

Men in your photo are quite 'dominant' hence it was considered as a photo of the crew rather than the AG picture. There is not a clear line and we try to judge the borderline cases carefully.

With regard to the Aviation Glamour - Flight Attendant category there seem to be more unclear types/operators and we will discuss this internally and come up with some solution.

mmmm.......so men cannot be put in the glamourdepartment.........female photographers what is your reaction?...;-)

We have also done some tidying up - we removed photos where the girl doesn't seem to know she was photographed (this applies mostly to older photos) or the photo is not 'sufficiently glamorous'. We will follow these rules in future.

Martin,

I appreciate the quick explanation. I am completely upfront about photographing cabin attendants. With so many scandals flying around in both North America and parts of Asia, sometimes its a small miracle that they even agree. Still, it's a fun hobby for most of us ... Thanks once again. Good luck with the re-org effort.
