While I was delighted to read that I'd won a prize in this comp, and also perplexed to think 'which photo' could that have been.. once I realised which one it was I could hardly believe it.
How could that one, which had been cobbled together, and posted just as 'info', come second to someone like Hamish and his fantastic aerial shot of Stonehenge and the Avenue leading to it?!!
This is a good example of why this form of voting won't work. It was obviously an ongoing item with some other regulars over whether it constituted a worthy shot or not because of the 'join' running up the middle, otherwise I doubt it would have had as many votes.
I've told Andy I'm not happy about it being included, as it gives a false reflection of the quality of our work, and someone more deserving should win second prize. (I've not actually looked at the 3rd, 4th and 5th yet, as I was so surprised to see this!)
I certainly would not have put it forward for a comp, and in fact haven't 'entered' any yet.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
