Program:

The program is going to be a critique session. All members are encouraged to submit 5 images which you would like to have critiqued. Critique is about constructive criticism--giving the maker feedback on their images, and providing suggestions on how the images might be improved (in the mind of the person providing the feedback). It is up to the maker to decide if the feedback is worthwhile and aligns with her or his vision.

It is not necessary to submit your best images for critique--this is not a competition. If you have images that you are struggling with, or believe could be improved, those may be the best images to submit. Submit your images to the normal competition email address. Name them CN01-XXXY.jpg through CN05-XXXY.jpg (where XXXX is the first four letters of your last name and Y is the first letter of your first name--in my case CN01-KOTAK.jpg) and use lower numbers for the images you most want to have critiqued. Depending on how many images are submitted we may not be able to get through them all. Also the image size may be up to 1920 (width) x 1080 (height) pixels--this is larger than our normal 1400 x 1050 limit for competition in order to support the 3:2 aspect ratio used by most digital cameras.
