It's one of the better ways to help improve your work. Hi Bob & Dave, I've heard very differing views! I'm not unhappy with my recent photography - it's often now taken as a result of doing something else rather than photography for it's own sake and I'd just like to improve it a bit without getting overly concerned about the results being absolutely perfect. I know it's taken a dip as I took a load of photos for eBay with a 'that will do approach'. I'm just trying to lose that attitude now that's over. As for future submissions, I'll see how the land lies here early next year. Many thanks for the comments.
