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.

It's hard to figure out why people in judging positions make the choices they do.

You do have beautiful colors in your photo. I noticed in large view the top branches were a little fuzzy on focus. Still, it's a beautiful photo. And some of those choices in the top 50? Utterly mystifying. Like, great big clumps of black against a background.
