BWPA Submitted

Deer Park - Marloes

Well that's another set of photographs submitted. Now onto the next submission. Well it is a busy time at the moment. I have submitted photographs to the Landscape Photographer of the Year and now the British Wildlife Photography Awards (BWPA). The next is the Projected Image Exhibition with the RPS. All these competitions are very much the luck of the draw. You try and develop string images that meet the brief and then hope they catch the eye of the judges. There is no feedback nor evolution as you might get with a client.

Perhaps the best way to illustrate this is the photograph above. I have submitted this as part of the Habitat category of the BWPA and nothing unusual about that I suppose apart from I had forgotten that there was a Habitat category until this morning when I paid my dues and submitted the work. So a quick rummage through my photographs came up with three that I thought fitted the brief. No long deliberation as I had with other photographs but a quick selection process and that was it. Does this mean it has less chance of sucess than the others? I don't know and this demonstartes the random nature of the process. Still it is fulfilling just going through the process and so onto the next submission.
