While in Sydney I saw the exhibition and the photo in question at the
Australian Museum. Next to this photo was a news article about the
controversy and questions about whether it would be disqualified. I'm
happy to see it disqualified and the photographer being banned for life
from the competition. He's gonna have a real hard time entering any
competitions and restoring his credibility. The sad part is that there
were some other really really great photos there that could have won the
top honors.
It looked staged to me, but in the article the photographer denies it was
an "animal actor". What I don't understand is how they passed it in the
first place.
Does it look any more staged now than it did then?
The basis given for the judges subsequent determination isn't sufficient
for me. I'm not satisfied their after the fact investigation PROVED it was
staged.
I agree but it is THEIR contest.
