I didn't enter the scents and aromas challenge as I didn't manage to get an idea together in time. I thought it might not be an exciting challenge, I admit, and expected mostly pretty average shots. There wa s achallenge a few back for instance where overall I found I scored lower than usual and was expecting thesame here.
Having just been through them for a first run (not all voted on yet though) I was very pleasantly surprised indeed. There are some absolutely stunning shots in there, one in particular took my breath away.
Fully agree, very few miss the challange topic totally, and a lot of high quality images. Who would have thought, with a topic that at first glance has nothing to do with seeing, but only with smelling and tasting. And still so many capture it well.
I think this is going to be a much more enjoyable process than voting on propaganda. I really struggled to relate a lot of photos there to the challenge.
