Description

here is the link to the bottom photo that could have won first place. This photo have the most favorities in my gallery. I was told that by the the person that had the art contest. The judge told her to tell me I was a very good photograhyer. It just my pessention of the work was bad. I had a cream color mat and the fram was cream color too. The judge would have liked a pure white mat and a color fram of some typy not what you see here. Another artist over head her and told me I sure have won first with the photo. say the mat and fram look fine to him. I did not knot this artist but he won in his area he had.
The top one you saw too

I have to do my own mats and get my frams on sell. i bought some off the web and they was fine but no glass, just plaisit lol misswpelled] so I had to go and buy glass and cost me $15 more to put the glass in.
I bought the mats to cut myself and i order them off the net. I destory the first six just learning to cut and still sometimes I cut it backwards. I can still use the mat but I have to paint it to cover the pen marks I use as a guide to cut the hole.
Plus I do it because at the story they will cut it to cover a halve inch around the photo. To me that a lot . I can cut it to cover 1/8 inch around the photo.
Hope you learn some here and hope you get the mats and frams better so you can win.
thanks for looking and reading and learning

Oh Jock, it's you... a very nice face my friend! But problem: when I click on your liks, I have this words: "Not Found" The requested URL /mod/gallery/swamp with fog was not found on this server. Oh I'm sad! ;-((((
jocko500

My hat goes off to the master of the swamp photos. :-) I have heard that in shows the presentation is as much as 70% of the judging but I never thought it could be that way. A person's art and talent and skill ought to be 90% of everything. You know you deserved 1st in both because you can feel how incredible and special these photos really are and how they just naturally stand tall above the rest. Excellent...no...Stellar performance, Jock!

Say, who's that handsome guy in the top photo? Jock, that isn't you, is it? Congratulations on winning third place. You should have won first place, but it was a setup, and you were framed! I just know it, as sure as I'm sitting here typing this. Anyway, you put in a lot of work in this noble endeavor. I really admire your dedication to your art. Good going, my friend!

It seems silly that they judged the work on the frame..But, I do think a dark frame would have worked better.. I'll see if I can fix your links

to me it's important that an image 'speaks' to me - i fully agree with mrs lubner - if not all, at least 90% should be the image. i love the image

You should be a first place winner! It's great to see you and congrats!

It's expensive to learn, but since you're a great photographer, you'll catch on the these things fast. Plus, you're very lucky you are told what's needed to do better. A lot of people never know what they're doing that isn't working. Congratulations! And thank you for a photo of you, too!!!!!

congrats on a job well done

Very good work.I think that it is a shame that some people pay more attention to the frame and the mat than the actual work itself.
LovelyPoetess
Congratulations on your win, and your determination on mat cutting is to be applauded too, I've tried it and I know how hard they are to do! : )

Good one Jock, your swamp shot is realy a winner. Congrat. Bugger about a frame. Was this a frame contest!? Anyway. Well done.

Congrats, Jock, and it's good to see your whole face!! And, I just started learning how to frame and mat myself; it's great fun. The place I've been working has a computerized mat cutter, you put in the measurements and this crazy thing cuts the mats!!

I think that judge is very lame, it's all about the art and photo, not the bloody frame ! Anyhow congrats on your 3rd place ! ~Cheers~

Wonderful shot and interesting narrative Jocko. You are a very good photographer, I personally like your fishing pictures. They are excellent and would get the number 1 price if I were a judge, Sig..
