Rejection One- The Submission

I’ve submitted a photo to the contest. This is an older photo I took while walking on my street after it rained.

Do I think it may get rejected? Yes. Why? Because this contest was intended to be an image from the three towns. While mine is an image from my own town, it’s not a recognizable landmark or something anyone would see and say “oh, I know where that is.” While the submission guidelines don’t say it has to be, there’s a part of me that says it should be.

I wanted to go with something I found beautiful, something I really loved. It’s true, I could have taken a drive around, could have gotten a photograph of the Town Hall or the Library or the Church. Even the park or some other place anyone would know was this town. I didn’t. I’m trying to be authentic to myself in this challenge and embrace the rejection, especially when I know it’s coming. You tell me… what do you think?
