February 2023 Advice Session
This is an advice session, not a competition.
SUBMITTING PHOTOS
- When uploading a file, it helps us if you use "your name- photo title" as your filename. Then, edit that in the appropriate Photographer and Photo Title fields of Poll Unit submission page.
- Be sure to add a description to your upload. Give background about your photo and ask specific questions for feedback.
- You can submit 2 photos for advice here. Or you can submit 1 photo here and 1 photo in the theme competition uploader. Or you can submit 2 theme photos in the theme uploader. During an advice session month, we use only your highest scoring image toward the '22-'23 cumulative points.
COMMENTING
- You are NOT required to submit a photo in order to comment on the ones uploaded.
- Click on a photo; go to bottom right of screen to click on balloon icon to enter comments, text icon to view description, or rectangle icon to go to full screen.
- When giving advice, view these on a big screen - desktop monitor or cast to a TV monitor. In particular, smart phones will not give a realistic view of image quality.
- When commenting on photos, think about the following aspects: Impact, Creativity, Style, Composition, Center of interest, Lighting, Subject matter, Color balance, Technical excellence, Technique, Storytelling, and Emotion. Be as specific as possible with your suggestions.
- When making suggestions, please use "I" statements such as "I feel" or "I think" so the reader is clear that this is your opinion.
- Please try to comment on at least five photos.
- If a particular photo has several comments already, please find a photo that has less comments so everyone can get feedback.
