I've asked around and looked into this further to finally put it to bed.

Φῶς is the singular nominative use of the word 'light' while φωτός is the singular genitive (possessive) use of the word.

The thing that confused me was αχτίδα φωτός - which is grammatically incorrect.  Αχτίδα του φωτός is correct and according to a Greek pal, the Greek language has been bastardized in modern times and αχτίδα φωτός has become the norm.  This explains why I couldn't get my head around it and why it made no sense to me.  Possessives as in 'ray of light' could either be αχτίδα του φωτός (sg) or αχτίδα των φώτων (pl).  When using the word 'of' we add του (or similar depending on gender) in front of the noun and ούς, ος ού, ών or έν etc at the end of the word.  For instance 'house of God' would be σπίτι του θεού.  House of dogs is σπίτι των σκύλων.  I don't know how true the bit about the bastardization of the Greek language is but I dug around on the net and found some sites that confirms what I was told.

Anyway.  Greek is a difficult language and most Greeks themselves can't fully grasp it.  I can't believe how much time I've just wasted on one word  ::)

Now back to GL.

Leaf can you move these 'Greek' posts somewhere else or delete them?

Speaking of GL (not Greek), my acceptance rate has been about 91% for a couple of years (1400+ images). Now they seem all of a sudden to be rejecting heaps of batches, for no reason other than "we do not need this image.".

Anyone else finding the same weirdness?

Added them to my blacklist because of these absurd reviews (join the club) and complete lack of sales.

Until they do a lot more advertising, etc, letting buyers, potential buyers know they also house photography, Im afraid it will remain quiet.
