In reply to brookeshaden. Thanks Brooke, I have already registered but I think I made reference to it in the 'notes' section. Stepping out of my comfort zone doing this, but I know thats when we grow and learn the most. A exciting journey and thank you Brooke for this opportunity

Hi Trish! Yes absolutely – when you register, just leave a little note about that in the designated box (you’ll see it when signing up) as a note about stock images so that I know not to critique certain elements 🙂 I’d love to see!

Wow Brooke this is so great to have this opportunity
Question: I am a building my portfolio and skill level whereby I will eventually use my own portrait images, so at present I am mainly using ‘stock images’ with permission from photographer/s in my composition work.

Can I still present my (work)portfolio to be critiqued? 🙂

Signed up and anxious to hear your feedback. I do have a question, though. When trying to redirect back to your site from PayPal, I received an error message. I did receive and email from PayPal saying the payment went through, but I was wondering if everything else went through since I couldn’t get back to your site afterward.

Well, Brooke, the deed is done. First time stepping out with my work in any serious way. I am kind of ambivalent about the whole thing but I have to start at some point in time and I am very happy that it will be you taking this images apart. I love your work.

Best wishes.

Wow, this is really great Brooke’s! I wish I had enough images for a portfolio. LOL
Those are great tips though, Thanks! 🙂

In reply to Katrin Auch. Great question, Kat! I will hold off on beginning the reviews until Sunday night when registration closes, that way you can submit and secure a space but still have time to fix it up a bit. However, before registration can be completed, a link to a website (or Flickr, for example) must be given. So, as long as you know the URL you will use, you can continue to re-arrange, shuffle, add, subtract, etc. until Sunday night. Hope that makes sense! I like using something like a Flickr account for things like this because the photos can be easily categorized into folders that can be linked, or if you have a blog/website, that is a great option, too. :)

Wow, Brooke, that is an awesome opportunity. Quick question, do we have to have the portfolio ready for you tomorrow, or is that just the registration? I figure I am probably not the only one with this question 🙂
