A group of ladies I shoot with submitted images for judging so that the photos to be shown at an exhibit we are doing at City Hall in January could be selected. The three judges are all professional photographers. All of them rated the images and commented on them. Today, at the meeting announcing which images would be in the exhibit, we were able to see how the images were rated and to see the comments they made.
Two of the images I submitted for judging were taken with rangefinders, one of them with the Mamiya 6 and one of them with my Leica M6. The image taken with the Mamiya was shot using Ektachrome E100VS. No post processing was done to the image. Here it is:
The judges made a comment about the white balance of the image, as if it was shot in RAW and I had the white balance wrong. UGH! :bang: Comments like that irk me. Of course, they didn't know that it was shot using a very saturated slide film.
Another image, taken with my Leica M6 and using Velvia film, received very low scores and will not be in the exhibit. The judges commented that it was overly processed!!
It's comments like the above that make me want to kill those judges!! Both of the images, BTW, have received numerous compliments from others.
I've never been one to enter my images in contests, it's now been aptly demonstrated to me why I'm sticking to my guns, even though this was technically speaking NOT a contest.
