Folks,
I know that many people are frustrated because of rejections and maybe not really because of rejections, mostly because the reason is not objective or there is no reason at all. Fine, I am a bit in this group too, at times.

But, there is one thing that I like about 1x.com - it is a place where I can GROW. I do not care how many pictures I have published, although it will be an indication that I am doing better and better. It is the story of my recently published picture (Winter Contrast) - it was rejected several times, but I was taking to people on the forum on how I can improve and I did improve. I loved the end result myself and I decided to publish again and it was published.

The most important thing is that we can learn from each other and my appeal is for people to be more open, to share experience when they are being approached. There are so many styles, cultures and experiences here....everybody can learn from each other. This is what I really like about 1x.com - I can be guided, advised and people can help me grow.


The end goal is that everybody can be happy with what we are doing, how we are progressing and where are we going with photography.

Cheers!
Alex.

Amen!

Amen twice!!! growth and sharing !

that's the spirit !

Alex, you have captured the essence of 1x perfectly, I would also add that I find 1x inspirational and is making me want to grow and get better

Cheers Chris
