Open Judging

Well.. for those of you who missed out, there was a open judging by Asian Geographic for the Asia Without Borders Competition..and well.. it ain't very exciting... haha.. Its kinda boring to judge photos.. and the quiet judges doesn't really help...other than the ang moh who was the "Simon Cowell" of the group..

Then again, it was rather interesting to see the photos which made it for the finals, ablit rather pissing when you see some rather sucky photos and not yours...lols... It ain't exciting if you dun see ur photos in the finals..

And yes, the point of the whole post is cos I wanna complain!! I don't know how many times I have seen those cliche photos of the war memorial at city hall and the esplandae bridge. And no matter how overuse or over shot (its practally the same composition!!!) it always wins or at least gets into the finals!! Damn!.. Seriously, it came out for the Microsoft Vista Competition, for the 2 SYPA compeitions and many many more!! (ok la.. not so many, but then again, got how many compeitions?) Grrr...

Den I mentione that they have a different set of judges who selected the final pics?? and I reckon they didn't pull out the big shots to select the final photos..so end up, you have a final set of photos which aren't really the best...den you have a good panal of judges to judge a poor set of photos.. kinda dumb though...

haha...but of cos.. of some nice pics la...ohh well.. maybe i'm just a lil' pissed my photo didn't turn up.. sigh...

Btw, you might wanna note that they did mention they dun like over PP-ed photos, esp the heavily sat kinds.. they prefer natural tones and i noticed, BW pics, seems to get a slightly better response...

Ohh well.. L.L. suck thumb :P
