I look at all these entries and I think they are 'all' honorable mentions. Truly, I mean that. They are all great stories. I can't imagine being a judge that has to choose from these entries! :) On the technical side of photography, I can see why the top 3 were chosen as they are perfect in their final presentation.
It is a little carrot dangling though ;) I'm glad the bar is raised so high. :) Pushes us to grow as photographers.
And I am very grateful for the honorable mention :)
Thank you @bigotemaifriend - you're feedback is always appreciated.
^_^ You're very right about! All entries were great but as i told, all yours transmit a special and beautiful feeling. So please, still growing with o without carrot! :D hahahah
I understand u when says about being judge, last year was offered to me but i declined. I don't really feel confortable, in my opinion should be a lot more winners! :)
You have make me look again the three winners pics to comment about... cause of the feedback u know ;) (and please, this is just a personal opinion, nobody was/is/will be hurt with it, ok? :)
At the technical side i think could be a little better... First one maybe so dark but geometrically is fine. The second one (for me the best of three) could have the sun at the top of the wood boat post... in the actual position is broken the composition. The third one... seems a typical empty pic from the hotel window, with nothing special on it to transmit.... And for not being judgeeee, i did a nice study! :D ahahahahh
Congrats again and see u around @youhavewings! ^_^
