I was pretty happy with that silver, I've seen lots of very good shots not even get a bronze
It would be interesting to see some statistics

Constructive Critique of my images always appreciated
All results are in for Marianne and me
Happy to report 1 gold, 7 silver, 5 bronze between us with Marianne excelling!
There has been a lot of criticism about the judges this year because of the visible feedback - I kind of thought it was light hearted at first but some have really taken the results to heart online like requesting appeals and so forth. I'm not sure you can really appeal a subjective opinion?? Just thinking about the masses of images to score for the judges gives me a headache - what an unenviable task in 2012 to have that work transparent!
I'm looking forward to the display of the top 50 - should be some really cool images there from what I've seen floating around!

Well done Dylan, and especially Marianne!!!!!! Look forward to seeing the Gold, and I'm sure some of your own in the top 50.
Opening up the transparency has certainly caused a bit of a ruccus!! I like the transparency, and people need to understand that it is always going to be subjective, just because one judge doesn't "get it" doesn't mean the judging is a waste of space, a joke or anything to cry about. It frustrates me seeing some of the comments.
For myself, well my goal was to beat last years effort (2 bronzes from 4) and try to get a silver. I achieved that (silver in open and 3 bronzes in amateur), so I'm pretty happy. Just hoping the bike shot makes the top 50, that would be the icing on the cake :-)

Agreed Shirl
Now we have a baseline, we have that added extra element to work toward with our photography - if it means taking more types of shots out of our comfort zone , that'd help us in the long run anyway !
Well done Dylan and Marianne! I might get there one year (decade!)
