It's the reason why I don't enter photographic competitions - they are simply a complete and utter waste of time IMO. It all boils down to subjectivity - you like it or you don't. Carry on making pictures just for yourself - as I do. And in the words of the late Jeanloup Sieff, "...if someone else likes it as well, too bad!" FWIW it happens to me, I'm sure it happens to everyone.
