Hi, I really enjoyed participating in the 2013 TP POTY competition and its Film element, particularly. I think I learned a great deal from it. The judges’ comments have been very helpful, but they have a heavy workload and are busy people with other things to do, so they didn’t always managed to leave feedback. I reckon I could learn a bit more with some extra feedback from the good folk in F&C. So, I’ve decided to put up my entries on this thread, asking for critique. I’m particularly interested in critique where I didn’t get any judges’ feedback, but I’d be happy to read any differing views. Framing, cropping, exposure, PP, anything goes really.
I’ll include the theme, my title (sometimes could have done a bit better there!), the shot, and any judges’ comments, and judges’ points. I’ll perhaps try and say what I was attempting to achieve, and what my own thoughts are. I’ll not bang all the images up on day one, but feed them in over a week or so.
(The scoring system was the “Formula 1” system, with points awarded by each judge for their top ten images, ranging from their top choice at 25 points to tenth choice at 1 point. Then points for all 4 judges are combined, and actual competition points are then awarded for the whole competition, and for the film sub-competition for any film entries. If you didn’t get a judges’ point, you don’t get a film point; even 1 judge’s point could be enough to get second place and so 18 film competition points!)
