Still, at least Rob has probably saved a few people several hours of effort this month .....
We had 'Tree/Trees' December 2014 and I submitted another wanaka tree shot and didnt win..Who was the judge and jury?
As the previous month's winner I was both Judge and Jury. As was pointed out by another 'expert' who, like you, didn't enter the contest either, the subject was Tree/Trees not a landscape which happens to also have a small tree in it. The landscape (Rob's entry) was stunning but did not comply with my interpretation and as it was my decision the outcome was the correct one and no-one was 'robbed'.
You could enter the competition, win and you can then be Judge and Jury but don't complain if some 'expert' makes an accusation that you have probably robbed another entrant when you make your decision.
I will enter this month's contest and will respect Paul's decision and will not accuse him of robbing anyone else, will you be entering?
No smileys on this as I take a dim view of such accusations when you obviously had not viewed the contest entries before making such a remark.

'Twas only lighthearted banter with Rob - much of it to try and justify my dreadful attempt at a pun.
Sorry to have upset you - it was certainly not intentional.

I too appreciate Rob's wonderful landscapes and his support of the competitions which we all should aspire to enter to beat him!!! ) Difficult but DD did it that time!

I roped my wife and 2 teenage daughters into picking the winners. They all came up with different images, but first place appeared in all three choices, including mine. So…
4th. Purely for the bad joke Love that sky!
