Further to Dave’s post, I would like to make clear that my previous criticism regarding the time taken to announce the results was not motivated by any level of dissatisfaction or disagreement with the judging panel’s decisions.
It was based purely on the length of time it takes to arrive at, and publish, the results and the possible decline in interest in the competition which may follow as a consequence.
I’m sure that we could all have an opinion on what constitutes a great photo, but it’s the opinion of the judges that counts, and at the end of the day their decision is final. So, despite the fact that I’ve been fortunate enough to win in different categories, and had several ‘honourable mentions’ as a runner up, I’d like to think it wasn’t because I’d ever shouted at anyone.
