Any  description of the location or situation leading to the creation of the photograph that you feel will add to understanding and enjoyment of the image.

Please spell-check and punctuate properly. I’m not interested in being your proofreader or editor.

I’m sorry to say this but due to the amount of work involved in providing these critiquesif the above instructions aren’t followed exactlyI can’t accept your submission. It creates too much work for me otherwise.

Obviously, not every photograph submitted can be displayed and critiqued.In fact, due to the high volume of submissions it is usuallynot  possible for me to acknowledge submissions. If your submissionisincluded you’ll be informed via email.

Whether a submission is included or not often has to do with submission volume as much as anything else. I usually select images that are either very good or poor in some way‚ so that I can use them as teaching examples. Please don’t take it personally if your submission doesn’t show up. I receive literally hundreds a month and can’t handle more than a couple of dozen.

Also, please be aware that while it’s not my intention to be unkind I am straightforward and direct with my comments. If you can take the heat, I look forward to seeing your submissions!

Michael H. Reichmann
