Where to begin?

All fora are similar, I'm a moderator on a shooting forum (something I would never volunteer to do again). We had at one time, tens of thousands of members but only a couple of hundred regularly participate.  It's even fewer now as more and more have migrated to more user friendly formats.

The competition is disappointingly supported, but one of It's limiting factors from this viewpoint is that the number of eligible entrants reduces each month, ie when I won last month I was immediately excluded from entering. Inevitably, it will continue in this way until it withers.

The number of voters is also disappointing and, I apologise if I didn't vote, I haven't in the past as I've been an entrant, so it would have felt wrong. Anyway, is a good point and I will ensure I vote next time, provided Tim is good enough to have another go.

Regarding your number of votes, try again. I look at this forum as a tool to help me improve my photography. At the end of the day, when you take a photograph for your own reasons it may well resonate with you, but perhaps ask yourself if it will resonate with others when entering a competition. I attach a picture of one of my dogs which gained a fair amount of attention when I posted it on here previously. I cannot tell you how many thousands of pictures of my dogs I have taken over the last twenty years, but this I consider my best.

Sometimes, everything just slips into place.

Keep trying.
