The full-length portrait shot is arguably the most difficult to get right, and therefore one of the most worthwhile for a photographer to master! The interactions between the various elements (body, expressions, background, pose) and how they come into play means you may have to put a bit more thought into composition and lens selection. Start with the basics and go from there.
Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
