It Has Been a While ......

Postby Mike Farley » Wed 28 Feb 2018, 07:37

..... since I saw a story about an award winning image which failed to meet the organiser's criteria. Arguably, the best one was Sean Byrne totally failing to understand the rules of the Landscape Photographer of the Year contest in 2012 when he "won" the overall competition with a heavily edited image. As I recall, he was also named as a winner in a couple of other categories and was disqualified from those as well. To cap it all, he came top in one part of the competition where modified images were allowed, but claimed it had not been manipulated. The problem was that those who knew the location said the shot was impossible. It only came to light after the accompanying book had been published and there were red faces all round.

In that spirit, here is a winner of a competition for a picture taken in 2017 with a drone. Except one of the winners satisfied neither of those conditions.
