Clothing Optional

don't be hasty, I have been disqualified more than once, felt unappreciated when competing with controversial subjects which scored as many ones as fives.
But competing provides me with a mirror in which I find useful to look, not often else it can turn into addiction, but just enough to keep track of my value versus average values. And my ability versus general ability.
The taste of Challenge voters is not sophisticated, punch wins over subtlety, bright colours over B&W, Kitch over innovation.
So don't expect too much artistic judgement but be grateful for their existence, the time they take to vote and share, and the free help they give you in your photographic growth.
