I see I’m on your list but I believe my picture was no good because it is a screen shot from a video I took. Someone told me it wasn’t allowed already.

Are we doing Chicks and Chickens?

 

[casportpony]

I'd better start taking more photos in landscape.

Me too

Many years ago, @sumi, a former well-respected and dearly loved staff member, told me that photos in landscape mode worked best for most BYC things. Stuff like the calendar, article cover photos, and featured content, like the POW (picture of the week). After she told me that, I started taking more pictures in landscape format.

Are we doing Chicks and Chickens?

chicks, hens, roosters, flocks, hens and chicks - Anything like that. We'll be looking for pictures to fit the seasons, too.

I have heard so many good things about her I wish I had joined before she passed she sounds like a wonderful lady.

 

[casportpony]

Yes, you can have four entries. If, after entering four, you want to enter a better one, just post it and let us know which one it's replacing.

And check out this thread: Photo Critique Club, there you can get advice from many seasoned photographers and some of BYCs judges.
