IMPACT, Storytelling & Composition.
What are the first 3 things you look at in your images when you enter a competition? IMPACT, Storytelling, Composition. That being said, IMPACT will always be first in my images or when I judge. |
“Turn your print upside down”
Turn your print upside down after you think you have finished working on it. Leave the room. Come back and see where your eye goes in the image. Is it still on your subject or has your eye gone to another area of your image. The eye goes to the area of highest contrast and if that isn’t your subject you probably don’t have a successful print for competition. |
Be brave! To enter is to learn.
Be brave. Enter for the experience and the education. Don’t take it too seriously and don’t give up too soon...When you do win, which you will, if you enter and learn from the judging comments, tell everyone and be very very proud of your achievements. |
