:whistle: As you know, I ended up last. :ashamed: When I saw the other entries, I could immediately see that my case was very different from the other entries. I could also see that there would be a battle for top rankings and that I would not get in the top.
I had otherwise a good feel for my cover! This judgment was a tough one to swallow, I do not think that I am in a competition ended last before! :chin: But there's a first time for everything and as I have said erlier, It’s no shame to loose this one. :cry: Exactly what has gone wrong, I hope to clarify when I receive the judges' comments. I must say that I had higher expectations for my cover this time. Regarding to the work I put in it.

No mate, that's the depressing part, I already think it's a pretty good cover, just one thing IMHO needs a little work.
But if I think that and it came 2nd last guess that doesn't say much about what I think is pretty good.
Thanks anyway nike

Understand what you're saying, I guess my hopes and expectations were greater than my talent, and by that I mean I felt I had a pretty good chance with what I had done to finish up in the middle, not down the end, it's a tough pill to swallow

I'm a big basketball fan and look forward to the All-Star game every year. In the end, one team wins, and an MVP is named. It's exciting to watch and provides a nice confidence boost to whomever ends up on top, but nobody thinks any less of the players not selected as MVP.

Alternatively: I've finished everywhere from first to last in competitions. Winning feels nice, and losing feels terrible. Either way, the competing itself usually ends up being the most enjoyable part.

I fully agree with Tim. The best part of competition itself and making the cover. :)
Otherwise I looked at the score cards, and I personally agree with the opinion of the judges, what they wrote to my cover. So I'm happy with the place I finish.

Yeah, the judges comments all made sense, except for one that placed my cover at last place but didn't give any suggestions for improvements at all.
