WHAT MAKES A WINNING PHOTOGRAPH
Winning photos usually represent something unique, something that stands out over and above all other photos. The winners present a special and interesting idea, often original and generally positive.
You do NOT need to be a professional or experienced photographer to win. However, do pay attention to the basic things, like focus, light and composition and your photos will improve.
Take your time deciphering the clues use them for inspiration for your photographs, but remember, there will be hundreds of others looking at the same clues and finding the same answers so look outside the lens and dig deep for original creative inspiration.
Good luck!
