I have determined that in order to improve my picture taking ability I will participate in as many photo contests as possible. I have reviewed a few websites and settled on at least participating in the Popular Photo “Your Best Shot” contest. The magazine allows each participant to submit five photos per month. They then review the entries and pick three to appear in the magazine. Each winner receives $100. Such is the luck. Of course I would love to win and receive some money but it would be something else to be able to say I was a published photog. Now that would make me look professional. What say you?
