Vanavond trof ik een mailtje aan van ViewBug met als onderwerp: “An award on your photo ⭐️” en dat maakt toch wel nieuwsgierig.
Na het aanklikken van de link, kwam ik op de volgende pagina:
De tekst luidt:
“Picture Perfect Award
StudioTjeerd, the Picture Perfect Award is an award given to photos that are technically excellent, creatively composed, and visually appealing.
This is a prestigious award that is highly sought-after by photographers of all levels and is a great way to celebrate your photograph.
It is sure to inspire and motivate photographers to continue creating beautiful and meaningful images.
Congratulations, this photo has been selected to receive this award.”
De Award is er één van een aantal die de website van ViewBug weggeeft, zo valt te lezen op de webpagina van ViewBug die hieraan is gewijd.
Your photos can receive awards even if these are not submitted in the contests.
Our staff, guest and resident judges look at the entries of the contests as well as all the photos uploaded to the community to choose their favorite photos and award them. At ViewBug, you can win contests as well as receive awards on your photos. It is a great honor to be chosen as your photo is chosen among many others and it is selected based on creativity, originality, composition and overall quality.
There are no specific numbers of awards given, the judges have sole discretion about this.
The official ViewBug awards by the ViewBug staff, guest and resident judges include:
Judge Favorite
Staff Favorite
Contest Finalist
Contest Winner
Outstanding Composition
Achievement in Originality
Achievement in Contrast
Editor’s Choice
Curator’s Selection
Runner Up
Honorable Mention
Dat de foto de Award heeft gekregen blijkt uit het label die bij de foto zichtbaar is op de website van ViewBug.
Sinds oktober 2015 dat er foto’s worden ingeschreven voor fotowedstrijden op de website van ViewBug is er een inmiddels indrukwekkende lijst met featured foto’s (en finaleplaatsen) zoals te zien is op de onderscheidingen pagina op deze site.
Bekijk Merlin (1807-2) voor de Palmares en reacties op de foto.
