I agree that some of the images shortlisted, while being perfectly good in their own right, caused me to raise and eyebrow and left me somewhat perplexed as to how they fitted the respective briefs too. I appreciate that competitions of this nature are subjective and the judges are always looking for something unique or a creative "outside of the box" interpretation on a theme but, at the same time, those images should still convey to the viewer what is set out in the brief.
Those that do, usually win competitions as they cause the viewer to look at things from a different perspective or make such a visual impact that it evokes emotions and provokes thought. I've gone back to the particular shortlisted images I've struggled with several times, with the aim of viewing them in a different mood or frame of mind but as yet, some still have me scratching my head lol.
