I really enjoy the monthly photo competitions. However, I think that they could be made more enjoyable by maybe having two or more categories, based on experience level or standard of equipment. For example, there could be a general category, "Birds in Water" but with two sub-groups, "Amateur" and "Experienced/Professional." Or, the division could be based on equipment, perhaps a separate category for digiscoped entries.
I make this suggestion because there are so many excellent photographs posted to this forum, and to the monthly competitions, that it may be a little intimidating to an amateur, and that those of us not using scopes or other special equipment may feel that our photographs do not "measure up" to the standard of the other postings. I am speaking for myself here, perhaps others feel differently. This is just a suggestion to maybe make the photo competition more fun for everyone. What do you all think?
