Hi,

Looks like extending the date has not much impact on the number and quality of pictures.

There are about 440 pictures uploaded and many of them are just fruit, vegetable pictures. Could not understand what is "aesthetic" in those pictures.

Considering the quantity as well as quality of pictures, my opinion is not to go ahead with the contest further. Also, all of them are not worth those thousands of rupees prize money.

I am curious to know the statistics of images posted by general public and nominated people.

Regards -Sudhanwa

Looks like the pictures in this phase a slightly better. I am still not convinced about the whole contest process and the prizes.

Just have a look at the food pictures here: http://finedinelove.com/art-of-food-loving-food-through-photographs/?utm_sou...

A single good food picture takes about at least 3-4 hours in a professional studio. Of course I am not expecting all the pictures of that quality but see these clicks from the contest as examples of bad pictures:
