I'll have to see if I can take part more often - perhaps it will help me raise my standards...
I used to feel discouraged by the high standard of other peoples photos. Now look on it as a fun way to try to improve. It also makes me take photos that I would never have thought of Eg. photo of a doll, don't even photograph people.
I am always surprised and pleased if anyone votes for my photo.
Did not think my entry had a chance of competing but entered and hoped.
Go on and enter, nothing to lose and as you say, "perhaps it will help me raise my standards". Think its raised mine.
