Re: Newbie from Hong Kong
Welcome! I bet you will find success in that market. Travel is always a good market and since you have local knowledge of places to go, I think you will do well.
Good luck,
Sam

Re: Photo Rejections
Thanks David. I probably wont submit any more photos as that is not my strong suit. But if I do and it is rejected, it would be nice to know why.

Photo Rejection
I submitted a photo called "Western Sunset" and it was rejected. There was no reason listed as to why. For future reference, why was my photo rejected?

Re: Constructive Criticism Thread
