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.

I can tell you honestly that I like your picture better than the majority of the pictures they chose. In fact, there were only 4 out of the 50 that I actually liked.

Some were too abstract and some even looked Photoshopped to me.

Don't give up. Not ever. Your photography work is amazing!

Thanks, hon! I'll never give up on photography. I might even give this contest another go.
