Congrats all the winners and bad luck to those that didn't make it. In my opinion, this was the most competitive round so far.

Best luck to all for the semi and best wishes for everyone else hoping you return for LPS 16.

Regards,

Peter

Don't look at it as a failure. This was a very tough round.

You have no control over how the judges rank the photos, so it's not a failure at all. Have a look at your image in relation to your portfolio and see whether it would be added. If it would, then there's no shame in missing the top 10 (and from my perspective it was a cool image).

Hope you are back in round 16.

Regards,

Peter

I need to start using the little smiley faces.

Thanks to the folks that sent me PM's, I'm fine with losing, I do it all the time.

A lot of the stuff I put here is tongue in cheek.
I have no problem at all with the judging. As a matter of fact I think that they did a great job.

Sorry for the confusion, I will use the smilies more often.

Congrats again.

Congrats to the winners!

I certainly don't feel lonely because some of my absolute favorites also garnered no official points. Good work and chins up to you others toiling along with us!

And here I thought you couldn't go wrong with M & M's!

Oh well, at least the little trick or treaters will enjoy them.

Congratulations on all that made it. And to those that didn't.



I stopped trying long ago to figure out how the images get picked. Do what makes YOU happy, and everything will fall into place.
