Wow, that blows. I also really hate the picture of the three people jumping. They are so amateur.

I totally agree. It is an interesting picture, in its way, but quite frankly, to me it looks more like a snapshot. It looks like a photograph I might have taken, rather than someone with real skill. I'm an okay photographer to document personal things, like parties and such, but I wouldn't even dream of entering any of my photos in a contest. Just because I managed to take a cute picture or even an interesting one, that doesn't make a a work of art, imho. I would expect that someone who is not an artist and/or has not interest/doesn't know much about art might not be able to see the difference, but I presume the judges should be knowledgeable if they are judging a contest

That really sounds incredibly patronising.
And seriously - not risque? That's a blatant lie :(
