[Leica] Results of July 2008 LUG photo contest

[LUISRIPOLL at telefonica.net (LUISRIPOLL@telefonica.net)]

Hi Brian,

I perfectly understand and share your arguments, and I repeat, I'm 
very sorry and I'm respectuosly with the Judges work, it is always a 
difficult work that I admire, personnaly I don't have the time to do 
it!. Only the average points of some people can give a more universal 
opinion. I've wrote my opinion quite spontaneously and of course 
sincerely, without any other idea to say only a personal opinion, as 
you said also and I thank you very much.

Saludos cordiales
Luis

Asunto: Re: [Leica] Results of July 2008 LUG photo contest

Luis,

This month there were 11 judges. We get a different number of judges 
every month because not everyone can do it every month. Three of the 
judges declined to evaluate a few of the images because those images 
had the photographer's name on them. 4 of the judges are not members of 
the LUG, 5 are current members, and 2 are ex-members. I very much like 
the winning photograph.

Every month I am surprised by the results of the judging. I don't 
think that my own first choice has ever made it into the top three. 
Certainly when Steve Barbour posted his "The Look" picture on the LUG a 
couple of years ago, I made a big fuss about how much I liked it, but 
this month my own favorite was a picture called "Spanish Eyes", 
submitted by some man in Spain whose name I often misspell.
