I've been a BetterPhoto member for at least 15 years. It's a website where the more you're involved such as discussions or commenting on other people photos, the more you get out of it. Jim Miotke, the owner, is always asking for feedback to improve the experience. This website was recently upgraded to handle concerns from BP Members. When I've emailed BP Support with an issue it was resolved within 24 hours. I started out as a beginner and am now an advanced amateur. Much of my improvement came from BP Classes and other experiences on this website. Currently, with very little time for photography due to a heavy work schedule, I still enter the monthly contest. This experience alone is worthwhile because you can be your own critic in deciding what to enter; and, with the opportunity to obtain different levels of badges, there is professional feedback as well. I think BP is worthwhile for a beginner to a pro, for websites, feedback, and networking with other photographers.
