Thank you, Tate, for the idea, for the efficient organisation and.. for selecting one of mine, wow!! . It's an honour to be among all these creative and wonderful pictures. Many more of the "rejectees" certainly are as interesting and amazing as those on the poster. Congratulations everyone!!!

And... if you are eager to take part in another one, may I suggest you have a look at the "Become a Fauvist Photographer" Flcikr contest organised by the Museu Picasso of Barcelona. www.flickr.com/groups/fes-te_fauvista

Hi, this competition has just come to my notice, so I'm too late to enter. Congratulations to all those selected.

I do have a question however about one of the images selected. "Being Green ~" does appear to have an unnatural colour cast to it. Was this achieved "in camera" with a filter or other creative setting?

I notice that the competition rules do state:
"Images should be as shot rather than colour manipulated."

I'd love to know how it was achieved.

SharpeImages has just observed that "rules are made to be broken".
Or overlooked if the image is just so good that they don't apply anyway.
really, it's your competition,and your rules, so who cares?

Hi bootpainter,

I'm sorry, but I didn't observe that "rules are made to be broken", that is your quote.

I assumed that the image abided by the rules of the competition, and was interested in how it was achieved.

I'm sorry if anyone got the wrong idea from my post, it was not intended as a criticism. But, if "rules are made to be broken" there may be other images which could have been submitted which would also have been good enough to be selected, but which were not submitted because the photographer thought that they broke the rules of the competition.

one of my photos was shot through the bottom of a coffee cup...is that shot or colour manipulated...it could have easily been through a colour filter and not a cup....

SharpeImages.co.uk  Pro User  says:

Hi Skateboy075,

That's a good question.

My immediate interpretation of the rules was that the images shouldn't be colour manipulated outside of the camera, but it is open to interpretation. Some cameras do offer interesting effects to be applied before the images are ever saved elsewhere, so who's to say that such images are any more valid than those manipulated outside the camera.

Personally, I always work in RAW, applying white balance in Lightroom, so all of my images are colour manipulated in some way.

Think I'd better stay out of competitions, I'm bound to break some rule of other! ;-)

Just out of curiosity ... if one of the rules was "• Images should be as shot rather than colour manipulated "
how does the green photo of the bike in front of the pier qualify (Do ~
Being Green ~)

Congrats to the winners though

There are some captivating, imaginative, observant and delightful images here - kudos & congrats to











but Tate Judges, please, ffs, out of an astonishing variety of 4000+ images with hundreds of eye-catching, humourous, innovative, curious and arresting images you chose some of the most banal, instantly forgettable images submitted - for example:

several still-lives of fruit and veg (yawn)

an out of focus shot of a pocket (!)


...and photos that don't fit the stated theme - for example:

a colour manipulated shot of a bike on a beach

whether by filter, in cam, or in computer is irrelevant, colour manipulation is colour manipulation regardless of technique. Surely the whole theme, the whole point, the whole challenge here was specifically NOT to colour manipulate, to push our creative boundaries within that limitation? i've nothing against colour manipulation, it's just not what this challenge was about, or so i thought. It's a different challenge, a different competition in its own right. And if Tate judges are not staying true to the spirit of the competition - then why bother having a theme at all? Why not just chose any set of pictures at random?


If this was just a Flickr Group having fun then fine, no problem, do what you want. But it is not. These images are to be displayed publicly at Tate - a prestigious institution that carries weight in the general perception of art in the UK and beyond, and one of few institutions in the UK where the public can experience the highest calibre of art at the cutting edge. Tate is a showcase. So when you choose to present dross like this you do art and yourselves a disservice. You provide ammunition to those who wish to belittle the importance of art and reduce its funding and prominence and you alienate those who perhaps would take a more active interest and become supporters of art if shown something truly delightful and thought-provoking.

I've been a regular visitor to Tate Britain, Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives for many years and grown disappointed at the continual decline in the standard of curating of Modern Art. We are denied access to many thousands of superb artists and photographers (just browse around Flickr for examples galore) properly curated and exhibited because of what seems to be more a focus on curating something different, something that stands out for whatever reason, rather than something good.


And it matters because Art matters. It defines us as a species, it pushes boundaries of perception and cognition and was quite possibly one of the significant elements in propelling mankind's evolution as sentient beings...


Please Tate Judges, will you post the reasoning behind your choices?


Thanks for listening. Bye.

There were lots of lovely pictures in the pool and well done everyone who had a photograph chosen.

But I'm afraid I have to agree with skelly images, particularly on the out of focus pocket and the colour manipulated image.

We all could have sent in manipulated shots, if the rules allowed. (It is a fantastic image, though!)
