Here’s your opportunity to get friendly feedback on your images from your peers. Want some suggestions on how you might improve an image before entering it in a competition? Having some difficulty getting the “look” you want with lighting, composition, or editing? Want to understand more about why a judge may have scored an image as he or she did? Then you’ll find this casual and supportive meeting helpful. And, if you choose to join in evaluating the work of others and contributing your thoughts, you will likely strengthen your own picture-taking skills. Members of all skill levels are welcome, and of course you’re welcome to just attend the meeting and observe.

If you’d like feedback on your photos, upload up to three JPEGs (sized to about 1500 pixels on the longest side) to PhotoContest Pro. (You'll see the peer review listed among the current competitions.) The deadline for the upload is Friday, July 24, at midnight.

You will receive a Zoom meeting link via e-mail the day before.

Hope to "see" you there!
