I was disappointed at first because I got 4 ribbons last year, a first, second and two third place. This year I only got two second place. Last year I submitted 10 paintings and this year 12. I’m never sure which people will like which pictures, sometimes ones I am disappointed in turn out to get the most positive reactions.
But then Daisy submitted two paintings and two bracelets and she got 4 first place ribbons so suddenly I was really excited and happy. She is a very creative person and so are some of her cousins on both sides of the family
LOL, took me a minute to get my head right . At first I thought you had entered a rooster in a farm livestock show. :) Congratulations to you and Daisy. I find the same as you with my photos. Often, the ones I like best, get a less positive response than the ones I'm not as keen on.
