    Gotcha does it again

    Last November I reported here success at Smethwick where my shot "Gotcha" was awarded a silver medal.

    Knowing with these big competitions, to an extent, it can be a matter of luck with the judges on the day, I decided to look out for similar competitions and enter the same 4 images in each to see how they got on with different judges. There have been four more salons entered, Bristol, Southampton, Cheltenham and Midland. They each attract somewhere between 7000 and 10000 entries and acceptances in the region of 25 to 30 %.

    One of the images, mum and junior was accepted by none of the competitions, pelican dive was accepted by all five and a red squirrel by four, with a certificate at Southampton.

    For the last competition, I decided to enter the mono section as well and two from four were accepted

    Overall, gotcha has been the most consistent, being accepted by all five, with the silver medal at Smethwick, a certificate at Southampton and this week a RPS Ribbon at Midland.

    In total across all 5 competitions I have 24 entries with 16 accepted, a percentage of 66 so well pleased although there are a few more to be entered before the year end so the average will probably come down

      Very well done Stan. Congratulations. 'Gotcha' is a very worthy winner, and a RPS Ribbon us something to be very proud of.
      We'll have to kow-tow when adressing you in future
      Cheers;

                Well done Stan and well deserved, such consistency doesn't happen by accident, rather by dedication and practise.

                Regards Paul
