Apply for a Globe critique
Once a month, a Boston Globe photographer will choose one of you for a critique. Just e-mail us 5 photos, sized at 800 pixels wide and 72 dpi, and a paragraph about why you'd like a critique.
Perhaps you're struggling with composition, or how to shoot in low light without getting too much graininess. Maybe your portraits just aren't as elegant as you'd like. Or you don't have a specific thorny issue, but just want to get better.
Include your full name, town, and a phone number (for contact purposes only). E-mail your application to raw@boston.com.
And good luck!

This is my first time, but I am sure it has a lot to offer, so am checking it out. I would like to show you some of my shots.
Sure, Katherine ... just email 5 of your best photos to raw@boston.com, and in the Subject field, just put, "Globe critique." Thanks for the interest!
When will this be starting?
Can we just send you the links to the photos? I'd hate to have to compress them and lose all that quality.
HI, Conor -- I'll change the entry above to reflect this: Sending high-res photos won't make a difference because we view them on a PC, where the screen resolution is only 72 dpi. So sending 300 dpi, for example, won't make a difference. If you size all 5 of your photos at say, 800 pixels wide and 72 dpi, you should be able to send all 5 in one email.
just want to get better. thoughts?
Thanks for the opportunity Teresa, I have sent my 5.
This blogger might want to review your comment before posting it.
