OMFG – even more excited now (and I promise no more journals from me I only entered 3 images…lol) A score of 96 and a really weird comment from the judges this time…
Judges Feedback
Great photo, wrong forum – The judge thought this was a pretty good photograph of its type, but there are lots of photos like this in the world and, basically, they are looking for something different! Of course, being different alone doesn’t make it better, but it helps to get noticed.I entered it in the People & Portrait section – not sure where else I should have entered it so I’m a little perplexed with the comment..But it still got Platinum ;0)
Bob Wickham
Judges are weird … brilliant photo !! Congratulations
waitin' for rain
I don’t know another sections that were there but it working so well for the People section and it really special one and sure it not looks like “ots of photos like this in the world” so i’m not agree !
again congrats on Platinium !!!
btw – it was free of charge award ?
Naomi Frost:
Thanks for your support – and there was an entry fee for the comp.

Fantastic, and well deserved! Judging is subjective, and sometimes subjectively absurd, but who cares; you got platinum! )
Emma Collins
Wow Naomi, that’s amazing, huge congrats! Don’t know what the judges are on about, I love this photo, brilliant execution and love the humour you’ve captured x

Melinda Kerr
Far out! You go girl!! Haha judges are classics aren’t they? If you read that comment you’d think ‘drats I’ve failed’….but no you’ve won! This is awesome Naomi – congrats.

A very deserving image it still makes me laugh as much as the first time i saw it. So much is right about the image and so wrong about the judges comments. Congratulations on all of your awards.

Mark Elshout
Oh and I agree with the individual that highlighted the fact that that image is one of a kind! I haven’t ever seen anything like it!
Max Buchheit
Platinum is worth more than gold – yes , that judge was weird (or wired);)
Pene Stevens
Congratulations – again !! LOL
Vicki Ferrari ...
Congrats!! And well deserved!! :))

Congrats Naomi, another brilliant image, imagine if you’d entered it in the “smoking curler haired woman in the laundromat” section, might have got a double platinum ;-)

Your on fire! Congratulations on another well deserved image!!
Lenka
Judges may be weird but the result counts ;) Congratulations!

only missing the silver one now Naomi, good results and well deserved.
Nikolay Semyonov
Cograts! Judges are regular people, like anyone else. The only trouble is that that have to find a variety of weird reasons to filter works through…
Ant Vaughan
