I always find it a bit disconcerting when first presenting work to the volunteers for entry and processing. It is usually a good indicator of how the work will do, as invariably, they cannot contain their opinion as to what they think of the work. An awkward silence and you know you are sunk. A oh my and wow and still you feel you are sunk. It is a tough gauntlet to pass through. I prefer to have everything completed when I arrive so all I have to do is pass it to them and run. I prefer not to know the prints I have selected are again the wrong choice.
Usually the works we choose in some way, on some level spoke to us. We did not select them out of others speaking. Thus, when others speak of our personal choice, it is as if they are speaking of us personally. I know this is taking a print to too personal a level, but that is the way it is.
Well, we shall know come this Friday night when the two judges decide if it spoke to them.
