Last set of finalists for SLRs. (BTW- The results of the Cell Phone Contest are in as of Sunday Night, I will announce these winners on Monday).
There was a ridiculous amount of talent in the Landscape category. I selected all 26 or so finalists because I thought each was good enough to win the whole thing. The judges however, chose different. There was one image that receive 2 1st place votes, and a second place, the rest of the votes were very scattered and the rest which qualified did so by razor thin margins (in most cases a single point).
Congratulations to the Landscape Finalists!
In his book "The Moment it Clicks" Joe McNally offers advice from one of his mentors, "If you want to be a better photographer stand in front of more interesting stuff". These pretty much prove the point. I propose a new Landscape category for those of us who are geographically disadvantaged. JUST KIDDING, of course.
I like that first shot but that twig on the lower left corner ruins for me. So it makes me wonder, what were the judges thinking?
Mountain Train……..nice snap…….
but i’d like it more if it would be more wider……
