* Theme is open.
* If a participant’s photos have not been uploaded prior to the start of the critique session, that registered participant will be excluded from participating in the critique session.

**Around 5 pm** on **June 30**, a Zoom link will be emailed to each registered participant. The actual critique will be held on a Zoom session from 7pm to 9pm. Please commit to staying for the whole session so we can enjoy and discuss our photography.

Participant submitters will not be explaining their photos. The photos should speak for themselves. When participants comment, they should always begin with a positive statement, before suggesting areas for improvement.

Our purpose is the help each other identify good practices and eliminate bad practices so we can improve our photography. This is a safe and friendly environment to help you improve.
