Rejected Again!
Following my recent submission to and rejection by Practical Photography magazine a few days ago, this is what I defiantly said: “I’m going to try again and submit the same photos to another UK magazine, Amateur Photography, which features the portfolios of several readers every week. I’ll let you know how I got on…” Guess what? Yes…my photos have been rejected again! This time the reason given was a little more blunt:
“Sorry, but your material is not suitable for use in the magazine, this time, but do not hesitate to make a further submission in the future”
Now that sounds like a “No” to me!
I could call it quits at this point and give up, but I’m going to have one more try and submit the same images to the Judgement pages of Photography Monthly, another popular UK magazine. I’ll let Lee Frost and Daniel Lezano decide if they’re any good…

You've piqued my curiosity. Are the rejected images available for viewing on this site? I'm interested in seeing them now.
BTW, my compliments on having the courage to submit your work - I've yet to make it that far.

There were also 9 other shots that haven't been posted here.
I'm not sure if courage is the right word - more like bravado! Although I often look at the images that they print and think that I could do better...
