Div is back
If my selection sucked that much, why is their a 3 way tie?
I mean, I did the best I could to include different styles of realistic pics, I'm rather happy with it.
Hey Div, I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's usually the ones that take this stuff WAY too serious that complain about not making it into this or any other kind of poll. It's like I've said before, everyone thinks their picture is the best one or they wouldn't enter the competitions in the first place. I've NEVER made the Top 10 in this competition so does that mean I should start crying and moaning about not making it for 6 straight weeks? Maybe I should cry something like...."My picture was better that so-and-so's"
.... "I don't understand why I didn't make it"
etc. etc.
We need to all understand that the person picking the top (insert number) has different tastes and ideas about the entries than EVERYONE else. So instead of crying and moaning about it, take your lumps and go take another (possibly better) picture. Yes, I've complained many times before but NEVER about not making it into this or that poll. Just the way that some of the competitions were run. It's like the gambler fella once said.... "You put your money on the table and takes your chances". If you don't make it into a poll, why complain about it? Does it put your picture into the poll, no it just shows that you're a whiny, crying person that thinks so much of yourself that you'll insult everyone else's work by saying that yours would have been a better pick.
When YOU win one of these competitions and YOU pick the Top (insert number), be careful because someone else may just tell you that the ones YOU picked are for s**t. Or tell you that YOUR taste in photos sucks.
There are always gonna be "competitors" that are gonna be so full of themselves that they think that EVERY picture they submitt is God's gift to these competitions. And to those people, I feel sorry for you that you won't even give anyone else's "work" the time of day or acknowledge the fact that someone else likes their pictures over yours.
Div, just ignore the "prima donnas" that have told you that what YOU picked isn't THEIR idea of what should or shouldn't have been in the poll. After all, wasn't it YOU that won the RIGHT to do so?
Just my 2 cents worth.
