Photographers Comment
Thanks for the 10th "Mark Of Excellence" [--] without a win.
Some critique at my own expense: My last MoE (Sports Competition No.1) showed a dragging motion of an Indian Kambla and like today the Juror wrote "..we have seen many images recently from this sport..". I am afraid Mr. Tyson meant the Indonesian Pacu Jawi or the Madurese Karapang Sapi cause I've never seen a Kambla-Image in an international Sports Competition and i follow the majority.. .
To my surprise, finally, the winner was a picture of a "never-seen-before" Volleyball Match.
Furthermore, jellyfish-diving in Palau is tourism not a sport.
And the 3rd time in a row i ask myself: Why I cannot find the current "Most Popular Photo" among partially prosaic pictures? For an ultimately aesthetic pic like that i stuck in the mud knee-deep and got hit twice by the bulls.
Lamented enough..i am out.
Un'grudgingly, Wolf (Berlin, Germany)
