The image assignment is a monthly event in the members area. Each month I post two different images which the members download and let there creative juices flow.  Once  the finished images are sent back to me where they are added to a gallery together with a critique video. It’s not a competition and purely for fun but it’s a great way to see how other members view images and the techniques they use. A great way to learn :)  Click HERE for details about the members area
