Congratulations to the winners!

Lee and Patrick sat down to critique a wide variety of images with the theme of "Valentine's Day love." How do you feel about the ratings of this weeks selections? 

Congratulations to our two winners of the free Fstoppers tutorial. Anton Calpagiu submitted the highest community rated image and Guillermo Pagano was the randomly selected entrant to win. We will be in touch with both of you via your Fstoppers profiles to claim your prize. 

If you missed your chance to participate in this episode, join us in the next one by submitting images that fit the theme of "strength."

Rules & Prizes

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! In honor of the day that celebrates love and romance, our next Critique will be centered around the theme of the day. Submit your best love and romance centered images and be critiqued by your peers.

Between now and February 20th, we invite you to submit two of your best images that feature love and romance. It should go without saying, but please keep your submissions classy. We will be selecting 20 submissions to provide feedback to, two of which will be selected to win a free Fstoppers tutorial. The first winner will be chosen based on the highest average community rated image. The second winner will be selected at random. 

Once you've uploaded your images, be sure to scroll through the rest of the submissions to provide honest and helpful feedback to your peers. If you're unfamiliar with rating system, see details below. The easiest way to rate images is to scroll through them using your key and number pad. Feel free to leave encouraging comments when you see an area where an image could be improved.

Hello FStoppers Family! I see a lot of wedding photos in this contest, so I’d love if you guys would comment with some criticism for me to learn from on my image. It’s from my 1st ever paid wedding shoot, so let me know what you think. I hope to be doing weddings regularly by this time next year. Thank you!

Hi Guys! One note on your video: if you use PIP, please place them to the left of the screen. It´s better in the way you read the information (i.e. the talking heads on the left and the picture being talked about to the right of that). Thanks!

So funny that Lee and Patrick both said please don't post nudes, and the very first image that was posted is a nude lol!!!!

I have not yet submitted any images for critique in any of your contests, but I did leave one very long (hopefully constructive) critique of my own on one of the photos that didn't make the video (the comment was erased, presumably by the user), and it occurs to me that there could (and I would argue should) be more critiquing of one another's work in these contests, rather than the "submit and scarper" modus operandi that seems to be the norm. So if you agree with me, then possibly encourage that in future videos.

Thanks for the work your doing.

All the best :-)
