It's DPI of the Year Critique...

(Please excuse the brevity of this newsletter - I am currently in the land that WiFi forgot - Norfolk. All Images in this newsletter are from last week's phone critique evening)

This week we are trying something new. We have our DPI of the year competition coming up and to ensure that everyone has their best possible attempt at this competition, we are having a critique session beforehand, so that you can use it to improve/pick your images for the big competition.

The rules for DPI of the year are simple, you can use any image you like as long as it has not been in a previous DPI of the year competition.

You can put up to 3 images in for critique but you don't have to put these in for the dpi of the year comp - you can change them or edit them based on the feedback you get on Thursday.

Email your threeimages by Wednesday (22nd) to dpi@h2photo.org.uk with the subject DpiCritique.
