To say I'm apprehensive about entering any form of competition is likely to be the understatement of the year. The standard is so high I wouldn't even know where to begin! Doesn't help that I find myself lacking inspiration for putting a shot together.

Just jump in...we have all been there, with the same apprehension and feelings as you. No one will judge you by your image..all you will receive is feedback to help you improve. Nothing to loose. much to gain.

As Chris has already said you will gain experience by joining in and getting your pictures out there. They are no good just on your computor or whatever.

We are, most of the time, a friendly bunch and a new person is always welcome., we were all at the point you are at, just go for it.

My first effort - taken on Monday during a snow storm. This is Bury Mount in Towcester, the remains of an old Norman motte and bailey castle.

A great picture Jeff with really moody sky, I also really like the processing you've done.
