Comments: The picture selections were weak in every category, and image cropping was poor on many photos. It appeared that photographers just threw everything against the wall and wanted to see what would stick. Contestants should only enter what they would feel comfortable displayed on their home or office walls. 

Too many of the entries appeared not to be thinking but just shooting. Think about the story and images, then Shoot. Not Shoot, then think about the story.
