Hi all

Glad to be shooting Pentax again after a while.

Would it be an idea that competition winners sent a print of their photo to the judge?

Just a thought.

All the best

With all due respect Siminmac, there have been quite a few winners in the competitions that are not worth a print but that’s just an opinion dare I say.
I would prefer a critical analysis of why the image is good or not so good.
My own personal view on a photograph is that it grabs my attention for some reason “maybe unknown to me at the time” and not it’s technical perfection which won’t cover for a boring image , having submitted a number myself.😔
Is it possible to have a higher resolution image for the winner to showcase , not likely on this site.

Surely, having the winner go to all the hassle of producing and sending a printed version to the judge would be a DIS incentive to enter contests (in case you ended up the winner). And would the judge want a copy of it?

Cheers folks.

Just a thought.

I'll shut up from now on.

At least the thought was there - which is more than others have offered (me included).

Made me smile, Simonmac. When I read that, the first thing that went through my mind was - 'Witter ye not' as Frankie Howard might almost say. Sorry, but it is the weekend and it's sunny. 😂
Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

I love Frankie. That has made me chuckle. Thank you.
