4th and won
Do you ever wonder, what were the judges thinking? Four years ago I entered this photo of my mother and Mrs Margaret Hamilton who passed away this past Friday in the Art League Friends of the Library Art Show. First through third were nature photographs. I thought, I’ll not enter nature, which is my forte, but branch out.
Just recently I entered a contest that Happy Heart Farms who sells chickens sponsored. First place was of cows out of focus, not chickens.
As a consolation, I did take first in a family favorite category.
Again the Art League contest calls for entries, and again you try and guess what to enter.
One time I was a judge with two others for the Woman’s Club photography contest. One judge insisted on awarding a photo of a rose, which wasn’t very good in my and the other judges opinion. We asked, why the rose? I like roses, I grow roses was the answer. We overrode him.
I think the judges liked cows over chickens, nature over nurture.
