| Hi there,
|
| I entered my first photo competition last week, but I was
| unsuccessful of course. It was with Practical
| Photography magazine, and the theme was 'animal
| attractions.' I thought I had a good chance, as I got two
| dragonflies mating, and they were making a nice heart
| shape, but it wasn't to be.
|
| I sent in this photo:
| http://www.sm9.co.uk/test/dragonflies.jpg
|
| They sent me a card back that had the following check box
| ticked: "Technically good, but lacks impact." Oh well, in
| other words, it means 'boring shot Ste!'
|
| I took it whilst walking around Thrybergh Country Park, in
| Rotherham, last year. It's a nice walk around there, about
| 1.7 miles around a reservoir. At the moment, half of the
| path around the reservoir is closed off due to nesting
| birds or something like that.
|
| Oh well, next month's theme is 'Shapes,' so I'll see what
| I can come up with; and what walks I'll have to do to find
| a suitable image. Ideas welcome of course. ;-)

Just a quick follow up: I've just got sight of the latest
Practical Photography magazine, for April, and the selection
of winning and commended photos was a complete disgrace! The
theme, 'animal attractions' seems to have been lost to the
judges, and the majority (bar 2 or 3) are just nice shots of
animals. And the winning shot was awful.
Hmmmmm.... :-S
