[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 215382, member: 9240"] As soon as I saw the winners I immediately flashed back to the shots I've seen in the Kelby books and his courses and said, "Of course!!" There are some phenomenal shots out there, and I flipped through a couple pages worth and actually gave a "wow" at a couple that wound up being in the Honorable Mention list. Funny thing is, I don't know that I would have chosen the winner to be among the honorable mentions, let alone at the top. But I'm not Scott Kelby. LOL This is the first time I've had a photo in any type of contest, and I played such head games with myself trying to determine which photo I was going to enter, because I knew what I liked, but I had to start thinking about not only what Scott Kelby would like, but also what the walk leader would like, and whether it was possible to enter a picture I thought Kelby would like that wouldn't get past the local walk leader because they didn't like it. Ultimately, as I look at the breadth of the photos submitted I laugh at myself because my talents are firmly stuck in the middle somewhere, which is where they should be after only 2 1/2 years of trying to shoot seriously. Like MoabMan, I'm just thrilled to be in there somewhere. [/QUOTE]
