    to all - elaines critique of jans pic was very nice and also
    specific ive been following this this thread trying to understand the
    mind of jurors and after reading elaines critique and the other
    posts. I am getting the idea that jurors dont really give a rats  AT **
    about the the jewelry itself they just want thier ego's. or should i
    say "hubris's" massaged over viewing only blue blood professional
    photograhs. looks to me like we are really having a photo contest
    not a a search for innovative jewelry and craftsman ship. Perhaps all
    you "Jurors" out there should in the intrest of fairness and equality
    set the standard and reccomend to the submitters, a photographer
    who's work the ROYAL WEE will accept so you wont need to be offended
    by the almost good enough pictures most of us send in as you may have
    understood by now my feelings on submitting to juries are jaded and
    bitter and i refuse and have for a long time refused submitting
    photos of my work to juries because frankly i have respect for what
    i do my craftsman ship is excellent and there are alot of people like
    me, and ive made thousands and thousands of pieces of jewelry that
    have not failed. so to all you jurors out there who are not picking
    work over the fine nuances of photo detail, my work is too good for
    your opinion ! -
