Hopefully you have already read the previous post....if not, do so now and then come back.
So...today, to my surprise, I received an email from the winery congratulating me on my 2nd place win (prize was a $25 gift certificate). Though I was excited about the prize, I really didn't care that I won 2nd place. I figured that James winning 1st place and my winning 2nd must mean we were the only 2 submissions to the contest and the fact that I lost to my husband was a downer. I e-mailed the winery back and thanked them for the gift certificate. I told them how I just got into photography this year and this was one of my very first contests---but that I lost to my husband who isn't really a photographer (right, honey??). I shared my blog with them to read about our little friendly competition.
The representative from the winery (who James and I met when we were there), replied to my email that she loved my blog story and that she actually loved my photo, but didn't get to vote. She then went on to tell me that they were judged by a panel of adults who had over 20 images to choose from!!! What?!?! 20+ photos and James and I won 1st and 2nd place?!?!?! Sweet!! I changed my mind about the 2nd place win and was super excited! But still....I lost to my husband. Hopefully our $75 worth of wine will make things better!
