Do you have any tips for our readers if they
would like to enter into competitions - not only
how to prepare their images, but also to prepare
themselves for the results?
•
Be emotive
•
Composed images with care
•
Think about what you want you image to say
and then help it say it with editing if necessary.
•
Prepare your files and make sure you control
any distracting areas, high lights and areas at the
edge of frame that may distract the viewer.
•
For online entries. Make sure your image
looks good small as a thumb nail as well as great
when enlarged.
