Oh and the judges were announced after the show not before, so it would have been difficult at best to pre-judge the judges. Honestly I don't think I should have won but what bothered me was the image that did was identical to my own, and I think that is really what bothers me, not that I didn't place but that an identical shot to mine won over mine. In my opinion that should have knocked both out of the judging. But then again I wasn't a judge. For me a winning shot is one that evokes emotion, thought or both. I know that the person that got an honorable mention in my opinion should have been 2nd or 3rd. Her work was well composed, had unique but wonderful color and made me think. Her presentation for her entire set of works was by far the best in the show. Her stuff blew mine away, but it inspired me also.
