I knew from the moment I posted it that my picture would not stand a chance as it was lacking the "je ne sais quoi" that a picture with a potential for winning must have, but I liked it for its atmosphere so I went for it
One may keep in mind that I
never create a picture for the sole purpose of a photographic contest and all the pictures I have submitted over the years, as far back as 2009, are all issued from various dioramas I did at the time.
I instinctively know if a picture has a potential when I review them and the 3 pictures who won first place, like the Queen of Hearts, for example, certainly had it
I agree with you that the level is very high on Playclicks, just like it is on PF or Tricornejock as we are only limited by our imagination
