    Why would someone “pay” to enter a contest, and give complete ownership of their work as well? I have seen this trend develop over the past few years and I for one can not, and will not, support this type of contest.

    Pete, I am surprised as much as you are. I hope that my site helped you discover this trend by glancing at many various contests with their fee and copyright policies.

    I am disappointed that this contest requires the sole rights to the images submitted. I feel you will miss out on many fine professional images by having this requirement.

    Dennis, I am not the organizer! I just list various contests on this site and YOU choose which one you like.

    Thanks for taking the time for putting all of these together for us Andrew - Top Job!

    To answer the questions above.
    If you look at it like this….
    Whilst you capture a good image; think!
    Take several.
    Even a milisecond apart it is a different image and not affected by this ’sole rights’ bullshit ;o)

    Hi Bob! Thank you for your kind words and your valuable advice. I plan to add a new page called Tips. I will be happy if you decide to write some useful tips for taking best shots.
