Ken Rockwell Photo Contest "Redo"?

[jwbryson1]

The title says it all. His photo contest through Adorama is over and his winner has been chosen. A lot of people seem to disagree with the image he chose at the best.

Do the mods think we can "redo" this and get participants in this forum to choose their favorite image and tell us why?

Here is the link to the top 25 from which he chose the final winner:

Further proof that Ken Rockwell is a joke.

The image he chose does absolutely nothing for me.

However, this one is really nice and should have been in the top 3 at least: http://www.adorama.com/ALC/Files.ashx?link_id=5f9be5d0-b90f-28cb-37c2-1492f0e30a33

I agree.. that is one of the better ones! Most look like snapshots.. parts of subjects cropped, etc...

+1. Rockwell loves bold, bright colors, and the image he chose has the most colors which I suspect is why he chose it. I like the B&W with the train tracks too.

"Ahhhh, the smell of yet another ad hominem attack in the morning! I love the smell of ad hominem attacks in the morning!" What was that movie named?? Oh, yeah....that's right!

Or further proof that art is subjective, after all.

Ken is quite vocal about his love for colour, so the winning shot is no surprise.
