If our jury finds out that someone has taken credit for some one else's work, we will take down the image from One Eyeland. And we reserve the right to blacklist that person. Top


17. How is the Picture of the Week selected?
At the end of every week, our jury reviews all the submitted images. A vote is taken on the Top 5 picks. The Top 5 images are then dissected threadbare by the jury. The most fresh/memorable image is then anointed as the Picture of the Week. The choice is a function of the images under consideration. Some weeks, the quality of the images may be truly outstanding. Some other times, the pictures submitted may just be good enough. Top
