I'm newbie on pentaxforums, newbie in photography. I participated in this competition with a photo that I think is very much in the teme, spot on, right moment, right place and not the least - quite epic. I wasn't even thinking of not getting at least in the finals.

However, I'm disappointed to find that some finalist photos are not even in the theme (#15 which is otherwise a very good photo), some rather plain and uninteresting (no notion of right moment/place, #7 #11) or disturbingly obviously edited photo like #10.

As I said, I'm a newbie in this bussiness, I may not know how to do photos or how to criticise but here are my two cents:
- number of nominations proves (at least for me, but I doubt it) to be irrelenvant in some cases
- therefore, I suggest that some sort of a jury be made to see if the photos are in theme, if they make up to some quality standards etc.

I don't really care about this competition anymore as I'm most likely not to participate in the future. But please, save some frustration from future newbies like me when they join such a comunity, supposedly democratic and qualitative.

My vote goes for #5 for the interesting interpretation of the theme.
