Format:Paperback
As a member of PPA, I have been struggling with print competition for a number of years. It always seemed like I was not doing something right when I entered. Having read this book, I quickly found out some of the little secrets to insure success. By using the tips shared by the author, I got two blue ribbons at my Regional print competition. I was elated.
This book certainly put me in the right direction and I know it will help me achieve my goal of becoming a Master Photographer. Thank you Mr. Rice for sharing your insights with everyone.
