I agree but it is THEIR contest.
Honestly?
I don't think it's that great a photo even if it's not staged. Yeah,
I guess catching a wild wolf doing that at night would be pretty
amazing, but that isn't enough to make it a good photo.
Do you have any idea how much effort & time is required to even see a wolf
in the wild ? I do.
If that was an honest 'in the wild' shot it would be fantastic. To be there
when not only a wolf appeared, but leaped over an obsticle and you were set
up to capture it would truly be a lifetime event - IMO.
It's not at all dynamic, the wolf is frozen in air, I mean hell, it
looks like it could be a stuffed animal!
I could see why they think it's staged - whether that's enough to ban
it, I don't know.
Sounds like these guys are a bunch of wankers to me. First the pick a
lousy pic for their winner, then they ban it on not much evidence.
I agree - why did it ever make it thru the initialjudging.
This doesn't look good on anybody involved.
