Anyone enter the Loupe this year?

[MissionMan]

Anyone else enter the loupe awards this year? Interest to see how everyone did.

Picked up a silver which I am happy with given my lack of experience and the first time entering. One judge scored me in the platinum range but he was probably being generous (or possible drunk)

Well done. It's a great moody shot.

Well done Mission Man - well deserved.

Well Done Mission Man. That is a great image.

I entered as well. Couldn't crack the silver though - missed by one point on one pic.
Three bronzes this time around.
Interestingly at times a largish scoring range between judges though. I had 12 points between highest & lowest judge on one pic that missed bronze.
I think it was a cemetery shot from memory - Some of my stuff is love-it or hate-it I guess

Congratulations to you too Matt.

Are all the winners posted on a site yet? I always enjoy looking through the photos but couldn't find any from 2014 when I looked.

Oh crap! I missed them this year. Damn I had one image I was going to enter too. Oh well, there's always next year.

Not sure when the final photos get posted. Looking forward to them as well. Picked up a couple of final entries on twitter by search for loupe awards but I think the final awards only get shown on their site in late December.

Thanks. Congrats to you as well. You did well to have a couple of entries to enter.

Also noticed the large range between high and lowest on scoring. I had a 96 from one of the judges and then low 80's on another so it was pretty sizeable. I guess that's the thing about photography, it's such a subjective judging criteria that you're unlikely to ever get similar scores. Maybe you and I had the same judges
