What are you doing when you are mistaken? Speaking to others whose interests were affected by your carelessness, blame yourself and promise once again to yourself “I will not be like that” or look for the cause of the mistake so as not to repeat it again? You tell someone about your mistakes? Is it necessary to do it? It may be better to keep silent, hide the ends in the water, smile and pretend that nothing happened?
My long pedagogical experience does not allow to remain silent, although there is such an opportunity. None of the readers of the blog will know about my miss if I do not tell. I made a gross mistake, and two participants in the Blog Blog Blog contest (according to the “Polygon”) did not see their pictures on the exhibition, did not receive assessments and comments. I apologized to the girls in letters, but decided to do it again, publicly.
Forgive me, please, Eve and Anthony. I cannot correct the situation, turning the time back, but I consider it necessary to show your works to the audience to not deprive the opportunity to hear their reviews. Let already beyond the scope of the competition, but your photos will see everything.
Anthony sent three works to the competition according to the “Polygon”.
Anthony comments:
The photo “Dandelion” was taken with the function on – Macro, while others – on the automatic setting of the device. It was sunny and I did not take any additional processing of the photo (in Photoshop for example).

I was embarrassed by the name “from top to bottom”, it seemed that this is a mistake requiring correction, and I postponed the sent archive of Anthony’s pictures in a separate folder for approval. And then… Sorry, Anthony, I forgot about her.
The competitive photograph of Eve was the first sent to the landfill, and I showed the “Autumn Light” on October 6. From initial placement on Radikal. ru, I refused, and the picture was “stuck” there. Sorry, Eve.
Eve wrote a commentary on the picture:
The frame is made in manual settings with an exposure of 1/1250 and a diaphragm f = 3.5 . Shooting against light with the desire to show how the sun shines through the gold of the foliage, and luminous contours are formed.
The choice of an open diaphragm is caused by the desire to highlight the front plan leaves, how to move the background and give the volume.
For greater juiciness of paints, minor processing in Photoshop is made, only one operation with levels. It seems that this is enough to bring the resulting option to the real colors of the golden autumn, “brushing off” from the picture (according to. Slobodchuk and a lesson of his free newsletter). After processing, the glow of the twigs contour became more noticeable.
