As some of you may now, I entered photos into Canon photo5 contest, run by Canon Australia.
The premise of the contest was as follows - they mailed you a set of 5 items, which were a cardboard box, (4x4x4" approx), a red balloon, a piece of chalk (I got yellow), 10 1-inch diameter yellow dot sticker, and maybe 3x3 ft sheet of blue cellophane.
They goal was then to submit the most creative photos, 5 total, one with each of the items. I would like to repeat, the creativity aspect was key, and was highlighted extensively.
The finalists, top 10 for each object category, were posted today. None of my shots made it. I'm disappointed, yes, but much more so by the crappiness of the photos that were chosen than by my photos not making it. Seriously, some of the photos (balloon #1940, for example) have no creative merit whatsoever.
Sour grapes? See for yourself (hideous hard-to-use Flash warning): http://www.canon.com.au/photo5/gallery/default.aspx
My photos are here. Once again, not trying to say mine should've been in the final, but rather that they could do far better than they did.
