We always ask how can I improve my photograph? Where should I start with? These are common questions from novice photographers; even for experienced photographers they would ask how do I know my work is acceptable to meet the taste of the market?
In other words, wondering if the photograph can generate sales instead of collecting dust on the desktop?
Traditional approach will recommend you buy a camera, read through the user manual, go for the tutorials, or even ask you to pay more for a bible photography e-book in order to learn so-called secret techniques for digital photography.
The traditional approach may help but it is passive and is rather not able to let the photographer to discover the value of their work by constructive feedback.
Imagine an active and interactive approach which is free and fun, the photographer receives feedback from various of open constructive critiques, that is native approach helps photographers to set the right direction and where the point to start with for improving their photography work.

Discover the Value of Your Photographs - by Robert Och
That means as a winner, you may not have the most technically perfect photo, but more people would buy your photo than the others in the contest. I would rather have a photo that sells more often, than one that is technically perfect that collects dust.......

Success Pointers for Winning Photo - by Linda Muir
Since I registered as a member on POTY in July of 2003, I have advanced beyond my wildest dreams in the digital photo world. A lot of my first photos that I entered, never really got good ratings, to no ratings at all. But over time, I looked, listened, observed winning photos and practiced in all the areas in which I was lacking, and believe me there were lots. Below, I have listed some of the things I have learned here on this forum and I would like to pass some of them on to you, and hope you fine them useful.......
..... the most important things I can suggest, is to practice, observe, pay attention to constructive criticism, read your camera's manual and read anything else you can get a hold of ! Photography is a practiced skill! If you wish to improve, and strive for that winning photo, you have to make the time and the effort.
