To attract the judges' attention, you need to stand out. There are several ways to achieve that. One way is to make sure your photo is eye catching. This can be done by following the rules of Composition with great care and paying attention to color and patterns. Another trick that will help you out is to get the assistance of a friend, preferably more than one. Show them the photo you'd like to submit, together with some other photos, and ask them to rate them according to how eye-catching they are. While you can't expect to get the same answers from everyone, this exercise will give you a general idea on whether or not you photo stands out. Clarity will help your picture stand out.

Nicole is an artist from Colorado who states a preference for working in oils and if you can spare a few seconds I’m asking everyone to go and vote for a painting she has entered in the Saatchi Gallery Showdown - it is a very moody landscape and it would be great if we could help increase the voting for her - not that the painting doesn’t merit our votes, but hey, bloggers help bloggers right? You have only until April 9th, So - Click here to place your votes
