Well done Richard.
I don't normally rant about judges but ........
I wasn't there last night but for my image 'Reflecting cultural differences I understand the judge wasn't sure if I had cloned onto the wall the 'western' dressed people. In fact, as Barrie will attest, this was a straight image. The architect of the building had reflective glass put in the window, so what you are seeing is the reflection of the graffiti covered wall opposite, and the people walking along it. Why don't judges just mark what they see rather than speculating, wrongly, on how it was achieved?
In addition, the SAME judge marked the SAME image just 9 days ago and gave it 19 whereas last night he thought it only worth 17.........
Rant over :)
