Yes, I agree. I don't mind going thru 100+ and voting...it amazes me how good the photos are, but it reminds me how inadequate mine really are.
But Although disheartened and near suicidal, I will plod on and try to put a brave face on another defeat looming! After all, what else do I have to live for?
Seriiously, I just enjoy the anticipation of a challenge ending and voting starting, regardless of how I finish. |
The first day I joined in (which wasn't that far ago actually) I felt the same.
But after a challenge or two, I feel totally different!
First, all the wonderful photos (and the less wonderful just as well) have helped me a lot re-building my ruined inspiration.
So my photos have not been ribboned yet, but I feel a great improvement, especially regarding the ideas I get for the photos.
I believe that the technique will follow eventually.
Besides, I learn a lot from the photos around. I think there are many very inspiring photographers here!
As for the challenges? I post what I really like. If the others like it as well - it comes as an unexpected bonus.
When a photograph that I was not 100% happy with score low, I tend to blame myself badly.
If I was totaly happy with it, with no relation to the contest, I am less crashed and un-motivated when it doesn't score well.
Well, these were my two cents...
