Sandra.

I can understand your disappointment after putting so much effort into your show.
We all have different tastes and likes about photography, particularly when they are shown in continuation as in slide shows. Judges, (the good ones!) are highly trained in all aspects of photography and look differently at a photo than most of us do. I've been at a judges sitting and listening to their comments while doing so and often wondered why they came to their conclusions; not always how I felt about it.
You have an unique style of photography and presentation you can be proud of. We all feel things differently, so be it. Keep showing us how you feel about nature and the world.

Greetings, Bill

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment Bill. The encouragement is much appreciated! The judges watch upwards to thirty shows (all 4 minutes) one after the other. I am sure there brains start to turn to feel like mush after a while. I know that not all people are going to like my style, and I am okay with that. That is what makes art, art! I do love to make shows, I love the combination of photography and music, so I am sure once my ego heals I will be back at it... Sandra

Never mind. Those in the know like it,

This could be due to several reasons;
Did the organizers give clear written instructions of what they want, their expectations and what guidelines to follow. If this is free for all, you can expect anything. Often judges fail to capture the spirit especially if they have a mindset.

Thanks pd and weldr for your encouraging words. pd in reference to your comments regarding judging. They are given a score sheet that outlines music, photography and presentation area's. I usually do well with two of the three judges, and poorly with one. This year there only being one judge was to my disadvantage I think. Both my shows made it into the big presentation so really I did fine. There were over ten shows that didn't even make it. The committee has made the decision to have four judges next year so that if one judge doesn't show up they will still have three judges. Sandra
