The National Geographic Site of which I am a huge fan allows photographers to submit photographs to “Your Shot” where 12 photos are chosen each day and displayed in the “Daily Dozen”. Two photographs are then chosen each month from the “Daily Dozen” to be published in the National Geographic Magazine so it is excellent [...]
