I downloaded the web version of the magazine, it made really interesting reading. I thought it was better than some of the other photography publications I've read, far more relevant to me and what I can manage to achieve, and no dozens of pages of adverts either. So well done to all who contributed, and of course to the publishers too. The only thing that slightly bothers me is the voting for pictures to be included. There are currently 294 pages of images there for issue 9, with 12 pictures per page. Even if I can manage to go through them I'm not sure I'd be able to find my 'favourite' ever again to vote for it. That's a problem with something that's popular and good, it can get to be oversubscribed and become unwieldy. I hope it's something they can overcome.

Mostly to migrate users to their their online site, not necessarily to feed into their print editions, so this is a cool twist. I played with it a little bit but my photo was too small - it seems to have a very large photo size minimum, which means it must be for people who are very serious about photography? I don't think they lose anything with this, though. There are other magazines starting to do this sort of thing.

That would seem to be a great marketing tool, plus add it getting probably even higher quality photos and photographers interested. The popularity contest thing is something I think that will have to be watched closely as they're are so many ways that it can be manipulated which would dilute the incentive to participate.
