    Heard the competition results and my little gator scored 79 and some change. Here is the categories for scoring.

    50-60 … Needs improvement
    60-70… Average
    70-80… Above Average
    80-90… Excellent
    90-100… Superior
    There were 94 images entered in the three competitions. In the colored competition the entries are split in the A (advanced) and B (beginner). There were 28 entries in the beginner category. The scopes run from mid 70s to 86. There were three winners in each competition and the scopes for those images run between 82 to 86. Overall the image quality seemed quite good and I was happy with my score.

    Not sure about who judges your competitions, but all scores, critiques etc are really judge dependent. So what works for one judge is a discard for another. Be that as it may when I enter photos in my camera club monthly competition, I never re-enter an image, thinking I might get a friendlier judge. I try to make better images.
    So you have to ask yourself, if presented with the same subject, how would I shoot it differently? Get lower, different lighting, different BG, shallow DOF, more bracketing of exposures, DOF, wait for the Egret to sit on the Gator.......
    There is always room for improvement. The good thing about camera club competitions is if there are from time to time themes that make you shoot out of your comfort level.
    Your photography has improved just on Simply so the 90+s are coming! You live in a great area for nature photography so there are lots of opportunities to work the same subjects, no excuses

    (Last fall I placed an UW image of a squid in our monthly CC competition. The judge said "nice shot of an octopus...out"; didn't even make it to an HM. Three months later the image won three major awards including one in Nat Geo, so go figure.)

    Well Stan, it helps if the judge understands what he is looking at lol. Very cool on the win from Nat Geo. For this competition there were three judges. I presume all three judges had input into the score but I do not know that for sure. Good question to ask at the next meeting.

    Nice, but I do not believe that first place should have got 1st place. At least the category I clicked on that was highlighted.

    edit, in the other categories, there are some really nice shots, and creative
