[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 819184, member: 50197"] They do have an annual contest, although to be honest, the talent I see in our local club alone would make for some stiff competition. I don't believe they give any feedback, in the contest, however. The rules are pretty strict about what is allowed, as far as subject, editing, etc. My daughter is at the main organization's photo weekend in Asheville right now. I would have loved to go with her, but one of us needs to stay here with my wife. She has had a good time, and got some great opportunities to shoot. My daughter that is, not my wife. The presentations I saw for the two meetings I've attended so far have been very good, although they were subjects I probably won't have either the opportunity to take advantage of (African safaris), or the desire to explore (adding textures in Photoshop). Still, it's great to be exposed to different things in the medium. You never know what will open a new aspect of photography. At the local meetings they do allow everyone to bring 3 photos on a thumb drive. They are presented to the group and comments are given. Mostly it's complimentary stuff, but you can tell the ones everyone is impressed with, and those they are not. I don't mind brutal negative commentary, as long as it's not personal. [/QUOTE]
