I've thought long and hard about such a contest in here, and here are my thoughts on it........
a) It's supposed to be a fun thing ... (It is, and so it should be
)
b) No one should ever feel "not good enough" to enter. (So dig those photos out and post them)
c) It shouldn't be about producing photo's as found in NMRA or magazine contests/articles.
Conclusion?.........
I will vote according to the feeling a photo gives me on FIRST seeing it. ie...
The atmosphere it creates (bearing in mind what was aimed for and what, within ones talent was achieved).
Each modeller has different skills/ resources and time BUT it is his/her creation and they are justly proud of it.
To date I have enjoyed EVERY photo that has been posted in The Gauge and look forward to seeing more and more.
Just felt like sharing my thoughts with you all.
