I’m sure your all pretty tired of hearing about this years POTY competition through Practical Photography magazine. We’ll you’ll be please to hear that this is officially the last post on the matter and that’s because it’s the final! Here’s how I ended up being one of the last six photographers that made it through to the final.

The rules for the final round are slightly different. The six finalists were asked to enter a set of three photographs under the theme ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’. So without further a do here are the images that I came up with:

As you can see I decided to go for a food themed interpretation of ‘the good, the bad and the ugly‘. I did this primarily because I wanted to continue the ‘home studio’ approach that had seen me through to the final and also because I was a little shoot on time due to a pending trip to the South West US (more on that later). So the upshot of the judging was that I came 5th out of the 6 entries. Of course I would have liked to have done better, but on reflection I’m pretty pleased to have made the final. A couple of hundred quids worth of Jessops vouchers made it all the sweeter as well! The other finalist can be seen here on Practical Photography Magazines’ website. I have to say I thought the winning three photos were just great and so original for the theme! The magazine article can be seen here. So it’s roll on next year and all the POTY 2010 competitions that will be up for grabs!
