It is an insult to all the hard working and honest photographers to include an entry of a non human when the rules state " a living person " , the other two shortlisted entries are worthy with both being strong visually and telling a story wheras maija tammis entry is very ordinary, well lit but thats it,she claims that it is indicative of the relationship between the subject and a human off shot but I dont buy into this self indulgent claptrap,I think that next year I will enter some pictures of pinocchio with a back story claiming that I am investigating the relationship between humans and what it means to be made from a tree.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07018259575616750489noreply@blogger.com
