I wonder if I'm the only one who is becoming disappointed at the level of 'content' if that's the right word, in photographic competition winners?
Recently, I have begun to loose interest in entering any of these especially after painstakingly sorting out an appropiate image and doing all the necessary work in order to enter the competitions, only to discover that the 'winner' was awarded to a photo I wouldn't even keep let alone enter.
It has dawned on me (eventually) that it is not so much the 'winning entry' but the judges who bring my curiosity to ponder here!
Also, while I'm on my soapbox, how many of you have read an article in any photo magazine which features half a dozen photos taken by a professional photographer who has written ex amount of books etc., blah blah blah, and thought............I could do better than that c**p?
I suppose it's like a songwriter. Once you're well known or famous, any rubbish will sell!
Your own opinions would be appreciated!
