Talking and looking at each others photographs has always got to be a good thing. There's loads of feedback good judges can give to encourage and nurture talent. I hate to imagine poor judges coming out with opinion which might slash a newbies confidence to bits.....i bet it happens tho.
A take plenty of duds Andy. I showed some to another photographer the other week .....I think he preferred my duds to the ones i thought were good!!! ooops
