Before I left for Las Vegas at the first of this month, a friend had emailed me a link to the Canadian Geographic website, insisting that "there are some really great shots on here, but I think we take some just as good or better!"...so I filed the link away for further investigation and promptly forgot all about it (Sorry Jane...but I was going to Vegas!).
Upon my return, she reminded me about the site and I finally checked it out. Indeed, there are some truly astonishing shots on the site and an equal, if not greater, number of not-so-much.
I just joined last night and I submitted a couple of photos to their "Shoot This" gallery - where they give you ideas & guidelines and you post photos of such and are critiqued and rated by other site members. It's a tool to get the creative juices flowing when you're stuck for ideas. The current subject is "3-D Curves" - any curve of any kind, but it must have depth. Here's my entry. This is the facade of the Planet Hollywood Casino in Las Vegas.
They also feature a "photo of the week" selected from member galleries - the two samples that were on the site blew me away. Credit where credit is due - clicking on these two photos will take you to the photographers own page on Canadian Geographic.

I'm excited about being a member of this site and will post some of my (in my opinion) best shots here in the future.
