Contributions[edit]

It’s a pity but I was not able to take much photos in autumn 2019 or spring 2020. Therefore my contributions to Wiki Loves Earth (WLE) 2020 are modest:

Pre-Jury Results[edit]

The following photos were approved by the pre-jury (cf. the complete pre-jury results):

Statistics: 11 of my 57 photos were approved by the pre-jury (about 19.30%); in general, 678 of 13,482 contributed photos (about 5.03%) have passed the pre-jury.

Comment[edit]

A big thank you! to all who have helped in the pre-jury! 2020 was again a very good year for WLE, at least in Germany: many excellent photos have been submitted. Nevertheless it’s always interesting for me to see which photos did not pass the pre-jury ;–). In this year I wonder why no photo from the following little series was approved which I had considered as my best contribution:

This is not meant as a complaint – I am quite sure that other photographers feel the same way, that sometimes their favourite pictures were not selected. Nevertheless, it is an interesting question: What is worse (or: less attractive) about these pictures than about some of the selected ones? Are there objective reasons? Were these photos simply too dark (I didn’t want to make them brighter so as not to become unrealistic)? But other dark photos made it. Did the bright highlights interfere? But on the other hand, pictures with clear technical problems made it. Is it simply a matter of taste? Or is it partly a matter of chance?
