Obviously, Kort, you photo doesn't fit the gallery..time for a resize. ; )
I have entered juried jewelry shows and done just fine. I have entered competitions and done so-so or ok or not any good at all. I gave up on the idea...Why? I never could read the judges and know if when they said "wearable" they meant by a living human being. Most winners were so far off the wall they should hang on a wall and not be called jewelry..in that case I would appreciate the work as fine art and craftsmanship. My stuff did not fit the gallery or the taste of the judges.
Seems to me that photogenesis.(.is that the one some here have been on?), meaning the photo site where you did have images, that site had or has excellent photo work. I cannot say it is less than on the one you tried.
I do say the photos on the site first mentioned in this thread are very pleasing and done very well in my opinion. I also know photos may be rejected for reasons other than an equal level of quality of the presentation. Yikes, with my stuff there is not a need to even try to get a photo on..well, I have "one" but will save my ego and not submit it. Tom
