I can assure that none of the 'winners' have any merit whatsoever and I can't
imagine that a pro-photog had any input to the judging. Two very poorly
realised 'arty' images and a snapshot. Dreadful. Was there any rationale
published?
My magazine's latest comp is here -
http://www.australianphotography.com/news/black-and-white-photo-comp-winner-and-runners-up
- and I was just having a go at the editor for picking the wrong winner. The
judge (who happens to be a Kiwi pro) always goes for that sort of image and
there at least three better ones, I think.
