[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 302662, member: 16844"] Okay so I took a photo and entered in my local camera club's monthly contest. My first month I was a C-grade - everyone starts there and it is nothing to be proud about simply because it is a starting point. The photo in question got an "honours" for C-grade and was instrumental in moving me up to B-grade - a bit of pride and bragging there. Then the following month they asked for submissions from members for a competition involving 5 different clubs. I got an e-mail from the committee asking me if they could use my photo. I was flattered - of course - as there were something like 80 odd entries and only 15 chosen. The photo is question was a spur of the moment thing (also features in my 365 thread) and the "in the know' crowd at the club seem to love it. Considering the subject I am amazed at the response. The photo in question? [ATTACH=CONFIG]87421._xfImport[/ATTACH] So what makes it good or is it just good compared to my clubs other entries? To add to that though there are some really good photos going in. To further boost our club's chances they have suggested that we have the photos printed. I know [USER=13578]@wud[/USER] liked this photo and I may just send her the print after the competition - assuming I get it back. :) [/QUOTE]
