My work or Yours

It is commonplace advice to review one's own work every so often, like at the end of a year, to understand what your photography is all about, what inspires you, what you could do better, etc. I was wondering if it could be more helpful to review the photographs that you have given UA's to in the last year? Does it give you a better idea of what you are trying achieve? More ideas that you haven't thought of? A deeper insight into what you really want from a good photograph?

It's an interesting thought. I do enjoy looking at my Award Gallery - it represents the photography that I aspire to, my standard criterion for giving a UA is 'I wish I had taken this photograph'. But now that someone else has done it I would not want to copy their work... So I look for general inspiration, confirmation that there are still original images to be found if we use our eyes and imagination.

I used to enjoy viewing members albums , Faves,Awards,Awarded etc but gave up last year, so frustrating.
You cannot manoeuvre through the albums using the displayed arrows.
Click on arrow to see next image in the album and it takes you back to the photo gallery where it was posted and not on to the next image by the member.
I did report this. Its too much hassle now going backwards and forward to get to the next image.

I have just tried yours, arrows are a no go.Sad if they are there. On images you have given a UA, no arrows to use, just the image. No option to move to next.

Thanks Rick - would be good to see it fixed.
