Nevernudes103, most professional photographers and/or serious enthusiasts know when great photos should claim a prize, especially over personal work. You would be surprised what the judges passed up...which is probably a large part of why people are on here putting the contest down. The judges should have stated that technical aspects of photos are not highly scored and any post processing is prohibited.
Mantis, couldn't agree with you more on that one...clearly a different taste from many of us. Safe to say many will be saving their money/time next year.
