You forget that photographers are the exact same as professional footballers…Very very good at their profession but complete FUCKWITS in every
other aspects of life. Most have trouble knowing the correct way to face when sitting upon a toilet and that is why you get sent so many off topic pics for your comps.
Can use a photo for different photography competitions?
If sometime in the future would enter a competition, I would definitely make sure that the image I send does fit the theme for the competition
It was long video, but listening was fun. I ike this ENERGY that is behind his nicely put wordings. I admire this channel if nothing else for Karl's diction.
Ok, but among the good photos, how do pick a winner?
This was a lot of fun to watch, Karl. I know that's gotta be super irritating to go through all of those photos that aren't even close. "I have no idea with this one." LOL! Gotta straighten these people out, man.
i really can't see my entry getting in the top 3 but i wish i could've seen their faces when they saw it 😀 should make it through he first cull though
Hello! Maybe someone interpreted the theme "Fast" as "Not eating", that would probably explain why someone sent food photos. Given the winner I guess the theme was "high speed"
How lateral can you interpret “fast” – as in a period without eating instead of speed
Is this really an instructional video or just a come on to get you to enter their contest by paying $14.99 a month to be a member? If anyone needs to be told the picture needs to match the theme of the contest, they aren't going to be winning many photo contests.
Hi Karl, great vlog to try and educate entrants. I've been a judge on online fb photo contest pages. The amount of times people try to shoehorn a picture of there cat,dog or other pet into the competition theme is laughable.
Thank you!
Hi Karl what do you think to Wedding Photography Awards?
Well Karl, that just shows the urgent need to educate those people in more than one way….
I have to say i'm surprised by the high quality of your former winners as they all seem to pay the monthly fee to access your trainings, good advertising for you since so far i was thinking for myself it would hardly be worth it as everything i've seen so far for free was good, no question, but pretty basic and not really new to me.
Best video ever, hands down! Hilarious!
It’s like at the airport when people are queuing up rapidly at the first announcement…..let me get in!!! I still ask myself what to think of such situations…I fully get you on that Karl. I wonder whether it’s gonna change, ha;-)
Thank you so much for this video…..Special thanx for karl Sir
what monitor is that?
this is very useful!
Hi, how to join to jour photography challenge? Thanks.
Karl do you have any recommendations for monitor for photo editing, I don't have idea for PC monitor.
The submissions will get better in time. One can hope anyway. Otherwise, good attempt to educate the masses Karl.
Lol "a macro image…oh, I'll just size it down REALLY small and that's pretty macro…"
Wow…. who is giving these people cameras if they don't know what themes are lol
Have you had issues or concerns with terminology having cultural or language differences? For example, 'fast' may refer to motion but it also to food or a meal (break-fast or fasting) or knot or a lock.
Make competitions for retouchers))))) You also have courses on retouching …
Some of those entries where surprising, considering the theme. Thanks for the laugh, needed it after the day I have personally had.
Brevity is not my strength either, but dear God this video takes a long time to say anything. The entire thing could have just said "read the instructions" and "don't kid yourself". A real lack of self-edit going on here.

Hilarious!
Hello Karl Taylor, reason I'm sending this comment I just saw two images on your video I didn't not apply for competition can you tell me who's the one sending that to images..
I can only imagine what an off camera Karl would say when faced with off-topic submissions…
Would a picture of the moon be considered macro? JK 😀
Anyway, I really dislike watermarks and feel any watermark (unless it is less than 1×1 pixel) should lower the score. It adds a distracting and unnecessary element to the image intentionally. It is like submitting a landscape photo of Mount Everest or other nature photo, and having some fast food/ takeout trash in the foreground.
Do the images have to be new fresh images or could I submit some from my previous work?
The prizes are so good.
10:38……. it's mine… OMG
Iv seen one bad thing you have done wrong Karl cups of coffee and computers don't mix very well 😂
