... and lots of images to edit and submit. That was fun :)

My 50th upload!

I can now submit for the Assignment. I'm thrilled.

Some images have been recently approved from my recent trip in Bulgaria. I must say I really enjoyed shooting them: the Black Sea coast is a stunning place to visit.

From the Thracian Cliffs as seen from Cape Kaliakra.

And wind turbines blending nicely with the landscape for once. Oh it was windy.

I've just had my 80th image accepted, which doubled my portfolio this month. I'm amazed. My acceptance ratio went also well above 60%, which means that I didn't simply submit anything. I'm amazed a second time.

Given the tough period at work, this exceedes my expectations by a long shoot.

Now, I'd like to analyze the reasons behind this result from the point of vew of someone just starting with photography, hoping that this could help other people in my situation:

- I'm a better judge of my own work, having received tons of criticism across the board, which helped enormously. Dreamstime is also helping a lot on this, because I tend to ask the reasons behind some rejections in order to understand where I'm doing wrong. Thanks inspectors.

- I get a better understanding ...
