so I take it none of the 12 are one of ours...hmmm there seems to be alot more talent here IMO
I was kind of thinking the same thing. I mean I'm unsure what the contest was actually about, but very unimpressed with most of the shots.
totally...gsal comes to mind for the human interest...and I've seen alot more impressive pictures here (DPC) than that list...what were the rules for it I wonder...
DPC uses a completely different guideline for judging photos.
The images that you are comparing to DPC are about context and discovery on the part of the viewer. E.g. Chris Jordan is very well known for his concept images - about human over-consumption mostly- his is the one with the bird with plastic parts - the shot itself is pretty much a snap-shot - but it's about the story.

I get the impression also that they are being judged on a body of work and we are probably only seeing one of multiple photos.
it seems that the point of the contest is to draw atttention to environmental issues, not so much to photographers. it seems like contests are a good way to get lots of attention for relatively little cost. just like a little town commerce office putting on a contest to "collect" amazing photos to put in their tourism calendar and brochures, and "awarding" only $200-500 for it. much cheaper and far more effective than hiring a photographer to take the reqired images.
