Images that have no monument go directly against the rules of the competition. So I see nothing wrong in not letting them to compete for the international prizes.
But for me it's surprising to see some rather small-sized, watermarked and low quality images among the best. Could it be due to the selection process? (read: can we fix something there to ensure better quality stuff ending up in final) Regards, Ivo 2015-10-31 23:19 GMT+02:00 Lodewijk <[email protected]>: > Hi all, > > I wonder, in some of the international nominees (beautiful pictures again > btw, congratulations), there are some where there is no identified monument > available.
