bummed

I'm a bit bummed that my pic didn't make the final 50 for the November boston.com RAW contest. The theme was silhouettes, and I was rather proud of the pic I took to enter:



Now take a look at the pix they chose for the final 50, and tell me that it's not just sour grapes. I really do think my pic is better than a lot of the ones they chose. Is it me? Am I just being a brat? Is my taste that different from theirs? They have a different judge each month, and they're all photo pros.

*sigh*

I think I'm giving up on entering this. It just hurts too much when they choose a pic taken in a car wash over my pretty tree.

Frankly at least two of those (What the heck IS #47? And if you have to ask, is it a good photograph at all...?) are inferior to the one you've posted above.

But there ARE some shots in those 50 that are... FABULOUS. That one with the bird taking off from the water - in mirrored silhouette - is probably a once-in-a-lifetime shot...
