Re: Spring 2012 Competition
I've just uploaded my entry... but it calls me me not "contest".... is it the way I did it or is there a gremlin? I will change it anyway before June I'm sure, but would really rather be anonymous.... might even get a vote or two then

Re: Spring 2012 Competition
Not sure what you meant to type Rev! But, the album is marked as a contest album so that you can (in theory) only see your own name, but not every else's.Reverdin wrote:I've just uploaded my entry... but it calls me me not "contest"....

Re: Spring 2012 Competition
Ah yes - I put that back after we stopped the monthly comps
So - is anonymity (or rather, the lack of it) actually a problem given that the voting is by panel? Would appreciate everyone's thoughts.

Re: Spring 2012 Competition
Anonymity would be better for total transparency. There have been a few personal issues regarding photography on this site (it's probably the only aspect that ever leads to fallings out in fact).

Re: Spring 2012 Competition
Personally, I'm not worried either way. I actually enjoyed the challenge of trying to put a photographer's name to an image, but it certainly wouldn't affect which images I found most appealing.

Re: Spring 2012 Competition
Since Gary and I will be participating in the scoring, then that's not possible since all mods can see all information (nothing is hidden). Having said that, this hasn't been an issue when judging the annual comps.DMS wrote:Best not to know whos picture it is when judging........

Re: Spring 2012 Competition
I thought I had followed the instructions correctly but I see that my name is against my entry. No real worry. I think my photo style is a give-away in any case.

We naturally trust the judging panel to select on merit of photographic quality and subject regardless of who takes the shot, so does it matter whether or not the photographer remains anon We're all mature friendly souls on UK Butterflies so I very much doubt that there will be any petty squabbles...will there

I'm going to wait until the bitter end of the competition and then post my entry, that way I'll know what type of cr*p..oops' sorry I mean quality entries I'm up against and even then mine will still probably be absolute cr*p...but it will be cr*p thats most probably taken with my new Panasonic Lumix FZ150
Jack, we know your a real softy at heart, even though you try to hide it behind that rough n' tough exterior...and take you too seriously...never
