Weekly Competition #51 "The Street"
The point is that 'street photography' is a readily accepted and understood genre..... ....so, if a main genre is picked as the topic of competition it's not really good form to then judge the entries by inappropriate standard for that genre. I mistakenly (apparently not alone) thought we were...

Weekly Competition #52...."The Ugly"
Thanks Gully, I hope you are feeling better now !!! Glad I didn't win, I couldn't have followed that excellent judging !!! The 'Ugly-One' was an extreme close up of an old potato that started to shoot. The picture was of the shoots as they emerged from the potato skin. Hmmm... so its not j...

Weekly competition#53: The pleasure of summer holiday.
Well, here it comes. It seemed an easy subject to enter, but the weather at the moment proved otherwise, i am afraid. As always....please understand the judging part is just one person's view on things and certainly not carved in stone like the " Ten commandments " :wink: Nimitz: Summ...

I wrote: "By the way, I was hoping that people would spot that the Beach Writing is being done not only by the child but by the waves." So Gwyn replied: "Maybe we would have if the photo had been bigger." Back where I come from that is called being snarky. Besides, you tota...

Weekly competition#53: The pleasure of summer holiday.
Back where I come from that is called being snarky. Besides, you totally miss my point. Without the title on the border you don't have the extra level of reference that would provide you with this interpretation. Or maybe you just weren't looking in the first place? Because if you were I doubt 50 pi...

And back were I come from this is called Rude and completely out of proportion. Why are you reacting so strong? Whats your problem? I didn't spot the'' writing" by the waves also. Not even after zooming in. Perhaps it will help to explain I do not mean "writing" literally but figura...

JR's Competition
The judging of the weekly competition was changed from Sunday to Monday very early on by request from quite a few members. If anyone wants it changing back then this is as good a time as any to say so!

JR's Competition
You don't have to cut and paste. The advantage of what I did was that you can just enter the comments directly whilst looking at the image. Anyone who prefers to do it as one block can happily do so, this was just an experiment. Also, even doing what I did it would be possible to post a summary m...

Weekly Competition #55 The World Today Discussion
I'd also like to add that I actually like the new competition format. I used to have to open the judges comments in one tab, and switch back and forth to match up the comments to the photo in another tab (I learn a lot that way). I don't have to do that anymore, and that's good. Also, I kinda l...

I thought my son had a good comment on Lilly's pic - he said it looks like a "playground of candy". Oh, just realized I can't enter either. Hopefully be fixed when I check back later.

Weekly Competition # 58 - Sweet Tooth
Example: Would you tell your 5 year old son/daughter that the painting they done at school was rubbish? No, you would congratulate them and put the picture in pride of place on the fridge. True. But most of us aspire to be grown-ups, in a photographic sense, not toddlers. Most people here wa...

Weekly Competition # 58 - Sweet Tooth
But most of us aspire to be grown-ups, in a photographic sense, not toddlers. But I am a toddler, in a photographic sense. Most people here want to improve, not to be patted on the back and told that his or her picture was marvellous. I totally disagree, surely a pat on the back is important en...

Weekly Competition # 60
I think that the competition does need to be linked more closely with the forum. Also I think that the only acceptable reasons for a judge not commenting on each entry are :- English not being their native tongue. or A family crisis occuring during the competition, requiring the judge's atte...

Weekly Competition # 60
I am really disappointed as to how these competitions are a shadow of their former self, I for one will not be submitting again unless things change for the better. Ever since this forum has changed I cannot help but feel it all has become rather impersonal and distant and I find myself less inlc...

Lilly, I think boycotting the forum is going to kill it for sure. Let's just hope that the threat will cause a few deaf ears to start hearing, and that an actual boycott won't be necessary. I don't think we are going to go back to the old forum, so we need to maintain the pressure until this on...

Weekly Competition # 60
Lament snipped I do agree with you, Lilly. There's a je ne sais quoi that's been lost somehow. I wonder if the powers that be read their own forum. If they do, they'd realise that Lilly is a) one of our best photographers, and b) not at all like the (cough) cantankerous argumentative types that...
