Re: Another successful photo
Looks like you are in some good company with the other 20 images. It was good to see all the judges had photographic backgrounds. I've stopped entering photo contests when none of the judges have that.

Re: Another successful photo
I also agree with the judges. The "Honorable Mention" photograph is a real WINNER in my book. I like it TONS better than the other image.

Re: Another successful photo
I agree with the judges on yours, personally,I like it lots better than Moon over Wildcat. and I alsolike yours it better than the 2nd place winner in your category and on equal footing with the knife edge shot- just more pleasing to my eye... The third place landscape would have been my first place, I think. just my 2 cents ann On 1/3/2016 9:43 AM, Mark Roberts wrote: By the way, here's a photo I entered which I considered much more likely to win something: http://www.robertstech.com/galleries/streetcar/7de05501.html Personally, I think it's a much better image and certainly more original.
