I had one accepted very recently... here
Thanks all for the positive feedback and encouragement. A couple of the points made:- Could have shot f13 rather than f6.7 given light conditions - True. But this was not a planned or staged shot. I was on the beach taking photos of shells with a Helios 44 and quickly saw this opportunity present itself. A super quick change of lenses and from memory just enough time to hit the green button to get an exposure. I didn't really have time to think this through before taking it. Best capturing the moment even if it is slightly imperfect than not at all.
- Too sharp - Possibly. I can sometimes do this
- Pano - Yes 1 single 20mm shot cropped down
- Too wide - I like it this way. I have other versions (one printed on canvas) not as wide and I prefer this composition. Has a very strong rule of thirds composition, bringing it it loses that (for me). This picture greatly benefits from bigger size where the distant object may be seen a bit better
- More contrast - I actually bumped it up a bit before submitting it compared to my first version. yeah, maybe could have gone further but is better than I originally had it.
But mostly the comment were very positive. Nearly everyone liked the composition, with the various things to look at. The cool toned monochrome processing was popular too.
As for not many entries in a long time, I think people forget, don't know or maybe don't care. There were SO many amazing photos in the first two rounds of the K-3 competition that are far better than this and worthy of being in the gallery.
I also must say this is my 2nd photo in the PEG. I get such a thrill and sense of pride when I actually make it as it really is an exclusive gallery and not easy to get an acceptance.

Yeah.... That's what I have not received. I find it difficult to beleive that of all the people judging not one had a comment. Typically there is 10 to 20.

It's already been rejected. Just would've thought the feedback would be done at the same time. I can't see anyone clicking on the no button, then coming back later to write feedback/comments.

How long does it normally take to receive the feedback email? I'm awaiting some info as to how I can improve my latest rejection.
