Anyone enter the Loupe this year?

[MissionMan]

Anyone else enter the loupe awards this year? Interest to see how everyone did.

Picked up a silver which I am happy with given my lack of experience and the first time entering. One judge scored me in the platinum range but he was probably being generous (or possible drunk) :D

Well done. It's a great moody shot.

Well done Mission Man - well deserved.

Well Done Mission Man. That is a great image.:th3:

I entered as well. Couldn't crack the silver though - missed by one point on one pic.
Three bronzes this time around.
Interestingly at times a largish scoring range between judges though. I had 12 points between highest & lowest judge on one pic that missed bronze.
I think it was a cemetery shot from memory - Some of my stuff is love-it or hate-it I guess :D

Congratulations to you too Matt.

Are all the winners posted on a site yet? I always enjoy looking through the photos but couldn't find any from 2014 when I looked.

Oh crap! I missed them this year. Damn I had one image I was going to enter too. Oh well, there's always next year.

Not sure when the final photos get posted. Looking forward to them as well. Picked up a couple of final entries on twitter by search for loupe awards but I think the final awards only get shown on their site in late December.

Thanks. Congrats to you as well. You did well to have a couple of entries to enter.

Also noticed the large range between high and lowest on scoring. I had a 96 from one of the judges and then low 80's on another so it was pretty sizeable. I guess that's the thing about photography, it's such a subjective judging criteria that you're unlikely to ever get similar scores. Maybe you and I had the same judges :D
