Great article :D

I won 3rd place in a competition themed, “Dubai in your Eyes”. http://www.gulfphotoplus.com/gppnew/CompWinner.php?CompID=15

Please critique it, I’d like to know what I could have done to have won 2nd or 1st place.
I’ll start by critiquing myself… I think I should have never had the guy in the background…

Another great way to find out whether your photo connects with people is to have your non-photography friends to look through your photos. It’s surprising how often a photo you’ve overlooked is the one that people like the most!

Thanks for the advice on how to win a competition. I don’t think any of my photos from previous visits to the UK would win. We used disposable cameras. Time to get a digital camera. I do like Panasonic and Nikon. Time to start researching…

Beware of contests promoted by private companies like new Hotels or resorts.

If you look at the submission guidelines you’ll find that you’ll be handing them full rights to the photos regardless of whether you win or not.

This is often a way for companies to get hordes of free photos often offering relatively cheap prizes to the top 3 individuals.
