Entered a photo contest

So I placed three photos in a photo contest and I 'm taking a risk by investing a big whopping $10.00. What I find very amusing is that, the competition looked extremely odd. One particular photo entry was so stupid; someone cut out a photo of a little girl, and placed her in a wooded scene. It was very obvious that they photo shopped her in it. Other competitors took pictures of model cars placed on their beds, on soiled chairs and in cluttered dirty homes. Some photos were of a very creepy old dude wearing Nazi uniforms in his car, at home and God knows where else he was! Most of the photos look like they were taken with a disposable camera etc. I'm thinking, Oh my God, are they serious?

I have always wanted to do photography for a living and I wanted to do it right by learning the craft through any means that I could. There are many web sites on the internet that a person can submit photos to for free. I finally chose to dive into a competition thinking my skill was sufficient enough to be competitive. Those poor judges are going to have to sift through all the crap to narrow down the field.

Here is one of the photo's I submitted:

Let me know what you think about the quality of this photo and if you think I stand a chance? lol....be kind and honest, I can take constructive criticism!
